Also as per the 2008 ratings (and I would hope that Silver goes and revisits this), among the worst pollsters is CBS/NYT. Yet, we are to believe that Rasmussen is an outlier? Would he change a successful system? I don’t know if I would, but perhaps his clients might want to get bogus results to puff up their situations (even if the election day outcome is far different).

Silver could help settle the issue currently if he goes and revisits the subject and runs the numbers for us on pollster induced error. Rasmussen in 2008 had the third least pollster induced error imposed. The CBS/NYT was third worst.

It would be interesting to see how that’s changed.
