Newest Politico/GWU Battleground Poll #'s are in:

[Guest040616]

I am sure our Far Right Wing-Nuts must have overlooked the latest poll numbers. Until a couple of months ago, they have been hanging on every Rasmussen poll for months. Suddenly, they seem to have lost interest. Hmmm, I wonder why?

In any event, I do not put much stock in this or any other political poll this far away from election day. Too much can happen between now and November for polls, such as this, to be of any value except telling you what would happen if the election were held today.

What I find interesting is that all of our prognosticating doomsayers who have been ejaculating on every Rasmussen poll for the past year have suddenly become quiet!
I suppose they have found other garbage that better suits their taste buds!

If this doesn't mean anything, why bring it up?

I wondered the same thing when the Far Right Wackos were repeatedly bringing up polls and proclaiming a sure upcoming victory, a year or more prior to election day 2012. What a bunch of Wackos!

Rasmussen polling is more accurate because it relies on likely voters and their polling base isn't skewed to Democrats.

Most recent Rasmusen poll has Obama down to Romney and Paul, with Santorum only 2 points behind Obama. But believe your poll if it makes you feel better.

What does Fox News have to do with polling accuracy?

Rasmussen polls are considered the gold standard. They were the most accurate polling firm in the 2008 elections.

Had you taken the time to read and comprehend my first post, I was the one who said that I do not rely upon any of the polls this far away from election day. The current polls are only a reflection of what would occur at the time the polls are taken. Nothing more!

But then, I would not expect a Tea Partyzombie to understand anything that complicated!

I did read that. But the fact that you don't believe in any polls (as an outcombe predictor) doesn't dispute the fact that Rasmussen polling is considered to be the most accurate and Rasummsen has the best track record with respect to accuracy.......you didn't mention that your GWC polling data relies on a polling base that is skewed to Democrats and doesn't use "likely" voters which is a better indicator.

Right now, Rasmussen has Romney and Paul beating Obama. HA HA....




You also haven't responded to my question: What does Fox News have to do with Rasmussen polling being more reliable than your GWC polling?
