So you are admitting the polls have been biased to the left? No problem with me agreeing with that; however how do you explain YOUR use of them in the past to make your point? How do you explain an admittedly left leaning bias would produce a 7 point lead for the Republican candidate? And how do you explain Quinniapac and the CBS/New York Time polls?

Spin, spin, spoin. Bottom line is Rassmussen reports is worthless. They were horribly off in 2012 and they're horribly off now. It's your unsubstantiated claim that they're left-leaning.

"A makeshift refugee camp has sprung up in Lake Como, the popular celebrity hideaway in Italy favored by stars George Clooney, Richard Branson and Madonna.

“But it is very difficult, we do not know how to welcome all these people. In the Como diocese we have over 2,000 migrants in the facilities – there is no room

.....

“I do not know how much longer we can bear the brunt of this mass of people who would like to cross the border but who are not willing to leave Como.”

Wow, those poor souls. I bet the Elite in the area have plenty of spare bedrooms they could open up and help out. But, you know, it's a Cons problem and all.

Love to see how the Libs in Concord or Wellesley would act if a refugee camp sprung up in theie town common. I bet a lot of the BLM signs would be taken down asap

I get along with mine some way. I particularly want to draw out law enforcement in my town and learn what's on their minds and I am not above letting them think I am a fellow traveler so they hold forth with the good stuff.

It's only a white lie if in the end your local cop is revealing to you what an a z z home he is because he thinks you may be a friendly con.


And yes they profile and many of them aren't only racists, they Re I tolerant of anything other than a mirror image of self

Unsubstantiated as left leaning??? The evidence is pretty obvious.

But I see you still refuse to address any of the questions put to you in my previous post.


From Wikipedia....

Democrats, Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen wrote that Rasmussen has an “unchallenged record for both integrity and accuracy.” Slate Magazine and The Wall Street Journal reported that Rasmussen Reports was one of the most accurate polling firms for the 2004 United States presidential election and 2006 United States general elections. According to Politico, Rasmussen's 2008 presidential-election polls "closely mirrored the election's outcome. After the 2008 presidential election, Polling analyst Nate Silver reviewed the tracking polls and said that while none were perfect, and Rasmussen was "frequently reputed to have a Republican lean", the "house effect" in their tracking poll was small and "with its large sample size and high pollster rating [it] would probably be the one I'd want with me on a desert island." In the January 2010 special election for the Senate seat from Massachusetts, Rasmussen Reports was the first to show that Republican Scott Brown had a chance to defeat Martha Coakley.

In June 2012, Silver wrote that "Rasmussen Reports, which has had Republican-leaning results in the past, does so again this year. However, the tendency is not very strong – a Republican lean of about 1.3 points."

From People's Pundits Daily....

In the 2013 Virginia gubernatorial contest, Rasmussen Reports wasn’t even on the same planet, with their October 20 survey of 1000 likely voters showing Democrat Terry McAuliffe leading Ken Cuccinelli by a ridiculous 17-point margin. After receiving heavy criticism, even by those who conceded McAuliffe was likely leading by a modest margin, they released another poll eight days later showing a 7-point lead for the Democrat. McAuliffe barely held on to win that race by 2.5 points, underscoring the massive 10-point plus Rasmussen Reports bias toward the liberal candidate.

They performed better in their home state of New Jersey, understating Chris Christie’s support by just 2.3 points, and overstating Booker’s support by just 2 points. However, their presidential approval tracking poll has been indefensible.

Recently, Rasmussen Reports bias consistently favors and overestimates Obama’s support relative to other polling firms, particularly firms such as YouGov (frequently commissioned by The Economist) who have terrific track records of polling accuracy.
So, what may be behind the clear shift in Rasmussen Reports bias toward the left?

Mike Boniello, the company’s CEO, took over for Scott Rasmussen until a permanent replacement is found following the 2012 election. Boniello and other company officials claim they still use the same polling methodologies they have employed for over a decade, but that clearly is not the case.

What we do know is that Scott Rasmussen left after they performed terribly during the 2012 election cycle, and that he claimed they had “disagreements” over strategy. Whether or not those “disagreements” had anything to do with the possible adoption of new polling methodologies that are more favorable to liberal candidates, we will never know for sure. But the data certainly suggest they did just that.

Here's the answer to the question highlighted above.

Suddenly the left loves the skewed Rasmussen poll

Wednesday was a pretty good day for Donald Trump in the polls. A Quinnipiac poll of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, released in early morning to help shape the news cycle, showed the Republican slightly ahead of Hillary Clinton in Florida, tied in Ohio, and slightly ahead in Pennsylvania. Given that Mitt Romney lost all three key swing states in 2012, and that recent polls have shown Trump trailing in them as well, it was good news for the Republican.

Polls released later Wednesday, from NBC/Marist and Fox, showed Trump behind Clinton in Colorado and Virginia — two more states Romney lost. Like Quinnipiac, the NBC/Marist poll showed Trump and Clinton tied in Ohio, but in Pennsylvania, NBC/Marist had Clinton up by a significant margin — a decidedly different result than Quinnipiac's.

But the Quinnipiac poll, focusing on the magic formula of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania — the three states that would give Trump the presidency, if he won them on top of the states Romney won in 2012 — attracted the most attention. And almost immediately, some on the left and right — anti-Trumpers all — began attacking the polls and the pollster.

Now let's see what else is new in the world of polling.

General election

Economist/YouGov Clinton +2
McClatchy/Marist Clinton +3

According to Nate Silver YouGov has a Democratic bias of 1.6, Marist a Republican bias of .7.

To the guy who's all hung up on Rassmussen Reports...

Whether they are left-leaning, or right-leaning, they still suck.
(You have thus far cited one right-wing source, who, like you, has their panties in a knot about Rassmussen, as evidence that they are now left-leaning.)

No one is hung up on Rasmussen except the lib who likes to use it when it suits him like when they are outlier on Obama'S favorability. I just present it as a changing trend in the overall polls. No more +13 for Hillary. Now the RCP is just over 3. With what's currently going on in France you should expect Trump to get another bump in the polls.

Carnage in France. Count is currently 60 dead. I thought France had gun laws to keep this from happening.

Is the election tomorrow?

Trump's biggest problem, among many, is that he's got 100+ days to keep making dramatic mistakes. As election day comes closer and recognition of how ill-equipped and lacking in knowledge he is we'll see the polls turn very clearly and loudly against him. He doesn't even want to be President.

Poor Gingrich. He really really wanted to be picked.
