Yes, that bias has been shown repeatedly over a period of years. It's one of Fox News' favorite reference polls as a result.

May I ask how often you watch FOX and what programs? FOX gives the results from CNN polls, Gallop polls and yes, Rasmussen. I think while they are going over various polls you must be out pouring yourself a good one or something.

Because of responses like this, you have not cared to notice FOX no longer uses one poll when discussing something and a poll has been taken.

They have been showing 3-5 different pollsters.

I have a question no one has yet answered and I have asked it here.

When has Rasmussen been wrong in their polling, or drastically way off the opposite direction, when an outcome has finally been determined?

They have been the most accurate. They are not 100% accurate, but by percentage, they are the more accurate of all pollsters.


I know the truth cuts deeper than lies, but take it like a man.

got ta remember, the libs only believe what they tell each other, kinda like that old game we played as kids called gossip or rumor? 99% of them never even watch FOX and if they do, it is 5 minutes here and there. But ask them about FOX and they can tell you everything they think they know.

You saying they had McCain over Obama as the election came closer?

Things people actually get to vote on, Rasmussen has been the most accurate. Sorry the truth cuts so deep, you have to resort to lying and character assassinations of the messenger to defend your ideas.
