yet they were one of the two closest on last falls election

FAIL

No they weren't. That is simply false. They missed the margin of victory by 1.3 points and at least 6 other polls were that good. PLUS, Rasmussen ADMITS they use a different sort of approval method that skews Obama's approval rating downward.

Please quote and link that exact admittance please - the one where Rasmussen states the method they use "skews Obama's approval rating downward".

Thank you.

Regardless of the reason, Rasmussen Reports surveys tend to have lower levels of no opinions and higher levels of unfavorable opinions for political figures.

Some firms poll all adults while others, including Rasmussen Reports, base their results on likely voters. Generally speaking, polls of all adults will show a somewhat higher rating for President Obama than polls of likely voters.

OK, let's see if I can explain this...

Approval Ratings are based on the general population, unlike polls used to predict election results.

Pretty much the only reason approval rating polls exist, besides just getting a general feel for things, is so that they can be compared against other president's approval ratings from the same period.

Which is exactly what the right is currently doing with these approval ratings.

Since Rasmussen didn't use the "Likely Voter" methodology in any approval rating polls prior to Mr Obama, and since they are claiming that the current approval ratings they list show a dramatic downturn in Mr Obama's general approval ratings, they are using false figures to represent their claims.

Get it?

I seem to recall Rasmussun always using the Likely Voter filter in its approval polls. It certainly did not strike me as unusual this year.

Which is why Rasmussen is historically more accurate than many other pollsters. I ran a few campaigns - it is the likely voter information that rules the day. When money is spent on mailings, you will pay for the voting list of previous voters and not waste money on everyone else, as they most likely won't vote.

To say nothing of the fact you clearly lied regarding Rasmussen...


Shame on you.

Shame on you.

For election results, "likely voter" polls are used. That is true. All the polling organizations use them for elections, which is why everyone was so close at election time last year.

The actual winning margin of McCain V Obama was 7.2%.

General polls are used for Approval Rating because of the nature of what "approval rating" is.

It's not "How many people would vote for the person" it's "How many people approve of the job the person is doing".

This thing with Rasmussen in an anomaly.

By your own admission then it is a far more accurate reflection of election outcome - to say nothing of the other polls showing a continued and steady decline for Obama...

Thank you.

And actually, here's a quote from a Bush approval poll from last year, by Rasmussen:

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. Rasmussen Reports believes that this is a better measure of public perceptions than the overall approval ratings...

...Rasmussen Reports updates the President's Job Approval on a monthly basis based upon nightly telephone interviews with 500 adults.

Nothing there about using "likely voters".

But, why would that matter? There's no presidential election for another 3 1/2 years.

Approval polls are used to measure general approval, and used to compare said general approval against former presidents. Not to judge upcoming election results.

I look at the average of all polls. I find that this is the most reliable way to go.

How about an Obama DISAPPROVAL rate update on this beautiful Friday morning......................

 

[skookerasbil]

by the way.......as the Obama poll numbers have tanked, has anybody gone over to MSNBC and seen the level of misery coming from this guy these days >>>>>>

If you're an Independent or a Conservative, check it out = classic TV. This Olbermann guy is perpetually bitter and one can pick this up from a million miles away watching just one telecast for just 5 minutes!!!
And how the mighty have fallen huh???? Guy has lost over 1/2 million viewers since last October. Epic fail s0ns..............epic fail.....................

Shame on you.

No I didn't lie. The admission by Rasmussen that the unique method they use on APPROVAL ratings produces numbers for Obama that are lower than the method used by almost every other pollster is there in black and white.

Approval polls are not election polls, there is no reason to use likely voters. Additionally, EVERY other pollster (there are only a few) that is using likely voters for approval/disapproval is STILL getting numbers much closer to the averages of the other polls than the outlier Rasmussen. So you don't know what you're talking about there either.

There is no method to verify the accuracy of an approval/disapproval poll so you are lying to say that Rasmussen is historically more accurate.

To believe that Rasmussen's approval numbers are accurate, you have to believe that every single other national pollster is wrong. Rasmussen's approval/disapproval net number is current outlying the average by 17 points. That is huge.

In short, you're full of shit.

Rasmussen is now the darling pollster of the rightwing media. That's good business. Not good polling, but good business.

That strongly approve number keeps trending lower and lower, he is in trouble. The Van Jones (Green job czar) controversy is only going to further erode at these numbers. You don't appoint a self avowed communist, a racist who is on video claiming that white people polluted black neighborhoods, ( those are not his exact words, but you can see it on U-tube) Then on 9-12 made accusations that the Bush administration knew beforehand and was instrumental in the terrorist attacks. Of course, as many of you might be stunned by this and still in denial about what your President is all about. Remember Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers connection and of course the recent Professor Gates controversy where he stated in a prime time a national news conference that the police acted " stupidly," after admitting that he knew nothing about the facts of the case.

Ask yourself- Have we elected a President who is a racist, who has an ideology that is more communist than capitalist? I think we have. 3 1/2 more years and plenty of time to find out, I just hope that we can keep him from doing extreme damage to this country in the meantime.
