Want to know how Rassmussen polls "likely voters?"?

Yes, they a Conservative Poll, and it is very skewed. They were predicting the 2008 Election was a dead heat, but Presdient Obama won by 9 Million Votes and by 6%.

The term "Likely Voters" is used by every polling company. It refers to people who are

A) registered to vote

B) almost always vote

C) are motivated to vote

Rasmussen is one of the more accurate polling services. Just check the results of the last Presidential Election. Rasmussen was right on the money. Instead of simply sitting there casting unfounded aspersions, try comparing the measurable results and you will see which polling service has been most accurate in the past. Rasmussen is right up their with the best.

2008: Rasmussen predicted Obama 52% McCain 46%.

2008: Actual results Obama 53% McCain 46%.

Evidence ?

I thought not.

Considering they are the most widely used poll by both Republicans and Democrats, why would they pay for a subscription for data that was inaccurate ?

"Generally speaking, the automated survey process is identical to that of traditional, operator-assisted research firms such as Gallup, Harris, and Roper. However, automated polling systems use a single, digitally-recorded, voice to conduct the interview while traditional firms rely on phone banks, boiler rooms, and operator-assisted technology."

Please explain to us how a "robot" knows when to hang up LOL

Rasmussen Reports determines its partisan weighting targets through a dynamic weighting system that takes into account the state’s voting history, national trends, and recent polling in a particular state or geographic area.

Rassmussen called the '08 presidential within 1 percentage point.

I KNOW...they CALLED ME and when I said republican and I would not be called DEAD being called a democrat the quit asking questions!

And don't you love the questions/ The only answers you are allowed to give....(they give you mulitple choice)..are ONLY FAVORABLE TO the liberals. NOTHING like no or I don't approve etc. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

Evidence would be a nice thing to have. I imagine that this is more of your typical mindless rant against something with no evidence to back it up. Please show some examples of the flaws in their polling system to support this allegation.

lol attacking Rasmussen? thats pretty low.

Rasmussen polled the 2008 presidential election accurately. So whats the beef? Are they too accurate for your taste?
