A claim that was made based on the results on one race, and even in that race, it's been shown the researcher who stated Rasmussen was the most accurate used inaccurate numbers. It wasn't due to malice, he just jumped the gun on putting out his results.

And what made Rasmussen not the most accurate here?
This was the same link posted earlier, and as I pointed out then, the research in question used inaccurate numbers in his calculation. It clearly states in the lead that the results are based on "a 6.15-point Obama margin in the national popular vote". The actual margin was 7.26 percent.
Strange that according to CNN's tally of the votes Mixed with my math. I come up with 6.8 % difference.
Obama with 53.4% or 66,882,230 and McCain with 46.6% or 58,343,671
Rasmussen's last poll was Obama 52 % and McCain 46% Looks damned close to me, And I just have to wonder if anyone came any closer.
