actually, i have specified what i "like"...and that's the RPC average because it tends to be most accurate.
i wasn't setting conditions and didn't say 'don't post the poll'... but people on the right always use rasmussen. there's a reason for that.
however, if you rely on data, we have the right to comment on it. *shrug*
You do of course realize that RCP averages polls and many of the polls are organizations that are left leaning don't you? You do realize that it will translate into a higher liberal bent average don't you? I didn't pick Rasmussen because I'm conservative. I simply posted a story I came across that said the bounce was gone. I do believe that different organizations polling does indeed reflect their bias and since there are more liberal leaning organizations than conservative, the averages will reflect that. The tale will be told in the actual election.
I'll also point you back to a link I posted earlier from a 2008 article ranking the most accurate polls in 2008. Rasmussen and Pew tied as polling the closest to what actually happened.

yes, i know that rasmussen proponents like talking about 2008/
but in 2010:
Every election cycle has its winners and losers: not just the among the candidates, but also the pollsters.
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.
