Not so. Rasmussen was a consistent outlier during the 2008 election cycle, constantly showing a mush closer race or McCain/Palin ahead. They were off by as much as ten points or more than averyone else.
Sometime in october they suddenly started polling correctly— so that at the end of the cycle they’d get people like you saying “all that matters is their ultimate accuracy”.

This is why I say Scott Rasmussen is not a lazy or sloppy pollster, but an actively BAD one.

I disagree. No one really knows the truth of poll numbers until an ultimate event that proves their accuracy…like an election.
They ended up with the most accurate pre election day numbers, while CBS, Newsweek and others had the most inaccurate results.
