Obama's lead over Romney grows

[HUGGY]

just trying to follow the rules laid down

Go play in traffic troll.

your party is going to lose because your party is filled with people who have NO commitment to fairness

Well to make up for THAT they are certainly committed to the hatred of most of the citizens of the United States Of America.

Are you going to accept court documented facts?

You are not a very big person, are you? Do you know what integrity is?

Of course she doesn't ....She is a progressive.

I cannot blame this on her ideology...she has a more major problem than that! Just wow!

Are you going to accept that Rasmussen is a pretty credible pollster? The thing is, RCP and the others are usually dated and do not include most likely voters/

actually, rasmussen is not the most credible of posters. there are far better ones. realistically, the best measure is RCP average. and likely voters isn't really reliable until closer to the election.

the right's reliance on rasmussen speaks for itself.

Look at post #42

Rasmussen said Obama would win in 2008.
They were right then so why would they not be right now?

Rasmussen Polls Were Biased and Inaccurate; Quinnipiac, SurveyUSA Performed Strongly


On Tuesday, polls conducted by the firm Rasmussen Reports — which released more than 100 surveys in the final three weeks of the campaign, including some commissioned under a subsidiary on behalf of Fox News — badly missed the margin in many states, and also exhibited a considerable bias toward Republican candidates.

Rasmussen said Obama would win in 2008.

reality based on 2010 results:

On Tuesday, polls conducted by the firm Rasmussen Reports — which released more than 100 surveys in the final three weeks of the campaign, including some commissioned under a subsidiary on behalf of Fox News — badly missed the margin in many states, and also exhibited a considerable bias toward Republican candidates.

Other polling firms, like SurveyUSA and Quinnipiac University, produced more reliable results in Senate and gubernatorial races. A firm that conducts surveys by Internet, YouGov, also performed relatively well.

*snip*

The 105 polls released in Senate and gubernatorial races by Rasmussen Reports and its subsidiary, Pulse Opinion Research, missed the final margin between the candidates by 5.8 points, a considerably higher figure than that achieved by most other pollsters. Some 13 of its polls missed by 10 or more points, including one in the Hawaii Senate race that missed the final margin between the candidates by 40 points, the largest error ever recorded in a general election in FiveThirtyEight’s database, which includes all polls conducted since 1998.

I love that we will ALWAYS have that card in our deck to play. And since she's a Faux News contributor now, it kind of just drives the point home further, doesn't it?

The New York Times is the single most quoted, cited and reliable source of print news, probably of any news, period. Most stories you see in the news, any news outlet, started from the Times. I love how the Right loves to shit on them, but meanwhile they are the most reliable source of news in the Western Hemisphere, and I will die on that hill gladly.

Congressional and gubernatorial

In the 2009 New Jersey gubernatorial race, Rasmussen Reports' final poll predicted that Chris Christie would beat Jon Corzine by a margin of 3 points. Christie won the race with a spread of 4.3 points.[41]

In December 2009, Alan Abramowitz wrote that if Rasmussen's data was accurate, Republicans would gain 62 seats in the House during the 2010 midterm elections.[42] In a column written the week before the 2010 midterm elections, Rasmussen stated his belief that Republicans would gain at least 55 seats in the House and end up with 48 or 49 Senate seats.[43] Republicans ended up gaining 63 seats in the House, and coming away with 47 Senate seats.[44]

In 2010, Rasmussen Reports was the first to show Republican Scott Brown had a chance to defeat Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts Senate race. Just after Brown's upset win, Ben Smith at Politico reported, "The overwhelming conventional wisdom in both parties until a Rasmussen poll showed the race in single digits in early January was that Martha Coakley was a lock. (It's hard to recall a single poll changing the mood of a race quite that dramatically.)"[45]

A study by Boston University and the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism about how the Massachusetts Senate race was covered in the media concluded, "...Rasmussen Report’s poll that showed the overwhelming Republican underdog, Scott Brown, climbing to within single digits (nine points) of Martha Coakley. That poll, perhaps more than anything else, signaled that a possible upset was brewing and galvanized both the media and political worlds."[46] ]

You couldn't even admit the truth on this, CD?????
Geeeze, you lefties are sure in denial about how most of the media....including the NY Times leans to the left. Google UCLA's study on media bias, CD. UCLA is hardly a rightwing university.

So, you cannot discuss polls in terms of data and dates. Got it.
