Why is Rasmussen such an Obama mouthpiece?

Why? Why would either candidate care about manipulated a poll like this? It's not going to change the votes on election day which is all that matters. Besides, O+1 or R+1 are both well within the same margin of error. IN other words, they are the same. Romney +4/5 are the outliers. The race is currently a dead heat nationally, but Romney has peaked with the debate bump and it is likely to swing back toward the mean in Obama's favor. More importantly, it's a swing-state race, not a national race.

Hilarious.

Rasmussen is well known to be conservative. If that's not enough, his polls are conducted to landlines ONLY. Which party do you think that shades to ?

Curious as to what the percentage samples of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents are. PEW has Romney ahead 49-45. Their samples were 36% R, 31% D, and 30% I, which sounds about right to me. I'm basing that mainly on the voter turnout of 2010, thinking it will spill over to this election like 2006 did to 2008 for the Dems.

It's a toss up considering the margin of error.

My god, buying the same old bullshit.

These polls aren't there to be right come election day, they are there to keep the public interested and the pundits arguing. Do survey sites tout when they were right on election day?

Said another way, this is nothing but a money grab, as there is tons of it to be grabbed - and more so if the race is a "dead heat" down the stretch.

There are millionaires being made with campaign funds.

Just sit back and realize the GOP needs to have an amazing candidate in 2016 to beat Clinton.

sardonic, caustic, mordant, snarky, etc.

How would the Title of this article relate to my well stated standpoints, and those adjectives?

I hate having to explain things.
