Andrew Sullivan demolishes Scott Rasmussen
_____________________________________

I keep seeing Rasmussen polls cited in the usual Republican outlets.
Maybe their selection bias really does represent the people likely to
show up in next November's mid-terms better than other polls. But the
discrepancy between their findings and everyone else's seems to be
widening, as the GOP keeps up its campaign to bring down this
presidency. Here's Rasmussen's Obama approval chart in the last half of
2009.

accuracy of prediction by polling has been touted as the standard to
beat, not the other way around.
So your just showing us how inaccuracy and baited questions can offset
for political
purposes actual trends!

Rasmussen gives the rightards hope which is good because it delays a
lot of spree shootings and gives the slow ones more time to adjust.

Andrew Sullivan was arrested for smoking pot in public. He called his
good buddy, Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States of
America, who did Andy a solid and had the charges dismissed.
