The Most Accurate Polls

 

Rasmussen, as usual, did even worse with their state polling. Pitiful performance from him.

 

in all fairness hes not alone, nat. journal, gallup, some heavy hitters took the pipe too...the surprise imho, is, no. 6- tied with 4 media organizations.

 

Pulled this off Twitter, Rasmussen's difference between his last poll of each state and the final result.

Just how bad was Rasmussen: CT -10, CO -7, IA -7, NH -7, WI -7, VA -5, NV -4, MI -4, FL -3, NC -3, MN -3, OH -2. Avg: 5.2% off.

 

He should close up shop...I think Raving Rove did better, didn't he?

 

It wouldn't be so bad if he was off in Obama's favor on some of those polls. None of the pollsters are always right but when you are consistently off in favor of one particular party only, you have very little credibility as a pollster.

 

Wow...Daily Kos ranked #2. That's not something I ever expected to see.

 

PPP is their pollster number cruncher....

 

But cons will continue to dismiss the Daily Kos.

 

again, DK polling is affiliated with PPP for polling calculus.
