re: #1120 Charpete67

I’m not saying he’s #1 (I honestly have no freakin clue), I’m just saying that you can’t just right him off as a right winger or worse, say he’s an ideologue on a par with the DailyKOS.

Actually, you can. I’ve been on top of the Rasmussen polls; their opinion polls are (not always, but far too often) biased and flawed. There’s a reason why they’re now the GOP’s favourite go-to pollster. There’s a pattern of flawed methodology in the opinion polls.

I don’t yet know enough about Reason 2000 to say anything categorical about their methods, but this particular poll does seem much higher than I would have expected, and I know there has been at least one other reason 2000 poll in the past that I found to be flawed. I think I had the same questions about sample selection.
