We have to divorce ourselves from reality just to make sense of the leftwing posts on here. Yours included.
See if you can make sense of this:
Final Results 53.2 46.3 Walker +6.9
RCP Average 51.5 44.8 Walker +6.7
WeAskAmerica 54 42 Walker +12
PPP (D) ....... 50 47 Walker +3
Marquette U 52 45 Walker +7
WPR/St. Norbert 50 45 Walker +5
Daily Kos/PPP 50 45 Walker +5
Rasmussen Reports 50 45 Walker +5
Which means that every single polling agency in the US had Walker winning, and there were definitely agencies that had the numbers more correct than Rasmussen.
Or we could go back to the fact that Rasmussen was tied for sixth in the 2008 presidential elections, with 2 other agencies.
The final tally was Obama by +7.3%. Rasmussen had +6%
RealClearPolitics - Election 2008 - General Election: McCain vs. Obama
Which means that Rasmussen is mediocre at best.
But that doesn't even take into account the wild numbers good old Scotty spews when it's not anywhere near an actual election.
Those numbers are generally about 10 points away from the average.
Rcp is moot as they average other polls rather than gathering their own data. Rassmussen stayed solid at +5 while everyone else was all over the map weekly. I stand behind my conclusion.
