Rasmussen daily graph for 3/26/08 - Obama up 2 (45), Clinton down 1 (45)

[DavidDvorkin]

It must be that sniper fire. Oops, sorry, I misspoke.








(Pretend that the 10 and 20 lines are actually 0. Does anyone know how to make Excel label different parts of the axis differently?)

Because it's always necessary.

4. Hillary yesterday: HEY! Does anyone remember that uppity black priest?!?!? Please?!?

[Alhena]

7. DavidD continues to post Right Winger Rasmussen crap...

Will DavidD EVER learn? :shrug:

[DavidDvorkin]

12. Learn what?

For months, I've been responding to posts like yours by pointing out that only Rasmussen was posting daily numbers (true until very recently) and that as long as his bias is consistent, the trend will still be meaningful.

Now, have you learned something from reading the above? I hope so.

[Breeze54]

15. Why do you insist on posting RW crap and made up charts?

:puke:

This is a DEMOCRATIC website. You should choose a more reliable source.

But you already know that. You just like posting crap as fact. :eyes:

[DavidDvorkin]

16. Reread my reply

Do that a few times. Then go away.

[MadBadger]

23. You're rude.

[DavidDvorkin]

25. Only when necessary.

[Teaser]

24. science much?

You know, there are plenty of researchers I disagree with in my field. It doesn't mean I think they process all they're results in bad faith.

8. Who are the "all others" still at 10%?

The last remaining "other" just left to join the Libertarian Party.

[DavidDvorkin]

10. Maybe they're No Opinions

I calculate that number by subtracting Obama+Clinton from 100.

There might be some roundoff effect, too.

Good point, though. Now that there aren't any others, perhaps I should relabel that line as None of the Above, or something of that sort.

22. The 10% are Linbaugh's voters.

:grr:

[DavidDvorkin]

26. Come to think of it, they could be naming other candidates

It depends on how Rasmussen asks the question. What names are included on the list of options? Do they allow other names (e.g., Edwards, Gore)?

11. I find Rasmussen pointless

I've tried to use their charts but they are so devoid of context as to be utterly meaningless.

[DavidDvorkin]

13. Rasmussen doesn't publish charts

Their numbers are presented in tables. These charts are mine, generated from Excel spreadsheets into which I've entered Rasmussen's numbers.

As for context, there is a discussion on the Rasmussen site (link included in my original post) about their numbers. It gives about as much context and background as Gallup or any other such site.

For a broader picture, there's pollingreport.com, which will get more interesting once the primary season is finally done with.

14. I wish we could stop posting these meaningless daily tracking polls.

[DavidDvorkin]

17. Don't read them

[Recursion]

18. How will the "all others" 10% break?

There is the question...

[DavidDvorkin]

21. Maybe they never will!

Maybe they'll never make up their minds.

[DavidDvorkin]

20. Gallup: Obama up by 1

[DavidDvorkin]

27. Kick with my right foot

for the rightwing, garbage, meaningless, Crapmussen poll charts!
