It was only an analogy, besides, since when does a view on gay marriage determine your political party affiliation?

Polling companies live and die by their ability to conduct accurate polls, Scott Rasmussen is a leader in polling because he is good at his job. DailyKos is a politically partisan group of people, they are not in the business of an unbiased pursuit of public opinion, Scott Rasmussen is. If Scott Rasmussen was a partisan political hack, no one would bother to cite his polls, just like no bothers to cite Kos as unbiased.

exactly- What difference would it make if the White House went back to a neocon? Those hypocrite Republicans who voted for every Bush spending program do not deserve any trust.
This is the perfect time for the rise of a third party ... Who will it be?

When you couple the fact that he attempted to ban gay people from a public boardwalk with the fact that he was a consultant for the GOP and received money from them - the answer is pretty clear.

Look at this graph, and tell me Rasmussen does not lean right on a regular basis. Or do you just believe Rasmussen is right and everyone else is wrong?

Difference in a republican and a democrat. Republicans said ok try it and see if it is works. When it doesnt work they are wise enough to say ok no more.

Democrats didnt support it the 1st time because its a republican and watched it not work and then when a democrat gets in they say ok try it again but this time much larger. While ignoring it didnt work the 1st time.

That really sounds nice, you needto notify the republican leadership so they can get on board. I really think you are posting what you wish not what is.

You just proved OUR point regarding the trend.

Rasmussen leans right absolutely, yet they always seem to follow the same general trend as the other polls.

They are the same folks that entertain the notion that FAUX NEWS is spewing facts in their "No Spin Zone"...
