Well, per this site, Rassmussen scored the highest on accuracy in the 2008 election.

that’s also supported by this analysis

I think all polsters have a bias. But the only thing that matters is their ultimate accuracy.

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.
