Obama's approval rating plummets overnight

[Trajan]

I don't because Rasmussen himself has admitted that their methodology produces different results.

becasue; they use Likely voters as opposed to Anonymous voters for instance.....how many times do you need to read this?

and in the absence of systemic statical anomalies, you are ,as usual, blowing smoke.

How many times do you need to be told that using likely voters in polls that are not election polls is inappropriately unrepresentative of the opinion of the American people. 'Likely voters' is a Rasmussen parlor trick to skew the results to the right.

Rasmussen Reports has been a pioneer in the use of automated telephone polling techniques, but many other firms still utilize their own operator-assisted technology (see methodology). Pollsters for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have cited our "unchallenged record for both integrity and accuracy."

The Pew Center noted that Rasmussen Reports beat traditional media in covering Scott Brown's upset win in Massachusetts earlier this year: "It was polling-not journalistic reporting-that caught the wave in the race to succeed Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy." Rasmussen Reports was also the first to show Joe Sestak catching Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary race last year.

Once again in 2010, Rasmussen Reports polling provided an accurate preview of Election Night outcomes. See how we did.
Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, noted, “This was one tough election to poll and forecast. Rasmussen Reports caught the major trends of the election year nationally and in most states.”

In December 2009, a full 11 months before Election Day. A Democratic strategist concluded that if the Rasmussen Reports Generic Congressional Ballot data was accurate, Republicans would gain 62 seats in the House during the 2010 elections. Other polls at the time suggested the Democrats would retain a comfortable majority. The Republicans gained 63 seats in the 2010 elections.

Rasmussen’s final 2010 projections were published in the Wall Street Journal. Scott Rasmussen noted that “it would be wise for all Republicans to remember that their team didn't win, the other team lost. Heading into 2012, voters will remain ready to vote against the party in power unless they are given a reason not to do so.”

In the 2009 New Jersey Governor's race, automated polls tended to be more accurate than operator-assisted polling techniques. On reviewing the state polling results from 2009, Mickey Kaus offered this assessment, "If you have a choice between Rasmussen and, say, the prestigious N.Y. Times, go with Rasmussen!"

In 2008, Obama won 53%-46% and our final poll showed Obama winning 52% to 46%. While we were pleased with the final result, Rasmussen Reports was especially pleased with the stability of our results. On every single day for the last six weeks of the campaign, our daily tracking showed Obama with a stable and solid lead attracting more than 50% of the vote.

We also have provided a summary of our 2008 state-by-state presidential results for your review.

In 2004 George W. Bush received 50.7% of the vote while John Kerry earned 48.3%. Rasmussen Reports polling projected that Bush would win 50.2% to 48.5%. We were the only firm to project both candidates' totals within half a percentage point by (see our 2004 results).

See also our 2008 state results for Senate and governor.

See 2006 results for Senate and Governor.

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.

Like all polling firms, Rasmussen Reports weights its data to reflect the population at large (see methodology). Among other targets, Rasmussen Reports weights data by political party affiliation using a dynamic weighting process. While partisan affiliation is generally quite stable over time, there are a fair number of people who waver between allegiance to a particular party or independent status. Our baseline targets are established based upon separate survey interviews with a sample of adults nationwide completed during the preceding three months (a total of 45,000 interviews) and targets are updated monthly.

Currently, the baseline targets for the adult population are 34.3% Democrats, 34.8% Republicans and 30.9% unaffiliated. Likely voter samples typically show a slightly larger advantage for the Republicans.

help yourself, be sure to read the poll sampling methodology, then head over to gallup.....make your case.

 

[Charles_Main]

and he keeps going on vacations and playing golf when he should be in the watermelon office fixing the economy!

It's not just that he is golfing or hanging out with Justin whats his name in NY, But when asked why he is not at the Debt Talks. The excuse was...... Wait for it.... He has more important things to do.

Like Fucking Hang out with a teenage pop star.

But then what do you expect from an arrogant, immature asshole who has never stopped Campaigning long enough to actually act like a President.

 

[NYcarbineer]

And yet they're the same as Gallup... Must be "double outliers"....

They are only occasionally the same as Gallup. As they are occasionally the same as other polls.

first define occasionally? I occasionally go without breathing.........

You look at realclear all the time. Go back through 2 1/2 years and see how often Rasmussen's Obama approval is equal to or better than Gallup's.

While you're at it, count up how many times Rasmussen's Obama approval net is above the average, vs. how many times it's below the average.

The opinion that the American people express doesn't matter if they do not vote.

Nonsense. You only like the idea of using likely voters because it skews poll results to the right.

I posted my case, an in-depth analysis of polling the 2010 elections, demonstrating that not only was Rasmussen the least accurate,

it was also the most biased to the GOP side.

It so far stands without objection.

 

[EdSchultzIsFat]

What Liberals Don't Know....MOST AMERICANS VOTE ACCORDING TO THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS !!! Bye Bye Adolf Hitler 2.0 !!!!!

 

[St.Blues]

I know. And I never take anything as a given. I think if you go back, you'll see that. But I will say no one with over a 46% approval rating ever lost re-election.

On the flip side, no one but roosevelt has ever been re-elected with over 9% unemployment rate. however, it seems that who the right runs is the next point in the inquiry. do you pick a nutbar like bachmann or someone who doesn't make more than half the country nauceous.

my point was only that the rightwingnuts have been screeching for a year about the president's "falling" approval ratings. and his approval rating has been about the same for the past year give or take a couple of blips up or down.

so the constant hysteria is worth making fun of.

and i really am bored of lying loons. that was 100% true.

PLease opffer me facts as to why Bachman ios deemed a nutbar.

And dont give me that general "have you heard the things she has said" thing...

aND DONT GIVE ME THE ONE LINERS THAT WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AS IT WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TWO SENTENCES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ONE LINE.

Opps...sorry caps....cap lock...

Anyway...goive me something concrete.

Thanks.

you can start with her assertion that sometimes "people need to exercise their second amendment rights".... if they disagree with a duly elected government. then you can shimmy over to her braindead assertion that the founding fathers tried to abolish slavery.



i don't need to go further. and if i do, your nutbar meter is malfunctioning.

hope you're having a good day.

This chick is quite un informed or doesn't want to be. Bachmann was absolutely correct. Go get catty somewhere else if you must.
Somebody said go LEFT and got this Jillian's attention, Then followed when she heard them say and you'll get a check. She clueless but knows here to stand in line. Dah!

hmmm, I enjoy the way the black man irritates you, so i haven't tired yet. You might try an honest accurate rating system & stop watching Fox Views.

Fact is that Rasmussen has had him fairly steady for the past year or so....

Had the GOP run a decent candidate, Clinton would have lost. The GOP handed Clinton his second term. Bob Dole says that Bob Dole couldn't tell the difference between Clinton and Bob Dole, so Bob Dole wouldn't bother voting for Bob Dole....

They can hand Dear Leader a second term as well - just nominate Romney - take away any real choice and Obama will be reelected. Nominate Cain or some other conservative and Obama is toast.
