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.
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.
