Funny thing happened to me this evening. Rasmussen called me with a poll
(I'm in NY). It was interesting to experience a real poll. They buried
the presidential preference several questions into the poll, which
certainly wasn't wise as it was the primary question asked. I also noted
that the #1 answer was always a McCain/Repubican/Conservative viewpoint
choice. It seemed to me that since the ideological questions were this
way and likely weren't randomized (since they all were one way), it is
possible that all respondents heard the same choice ordering, and that
ordering could lend itself to lazy #1 choices and favor McCain in
Rasmussen's polls.

If anyone has any doubts about Rasmussen's bias, just take a look at the
following page and how almost every finding of theirs favors McCain, and
McCain is the first identified in virtually every story.

Most of what that they poll beyond the top line deal with issues known
to lean Republican.
