RESIZE: AAA

Rasmussen Reports out with their lates poll with great news for Rubio fans and not so good for the man in the white house. True Rasmussen tilts a littttle to the right but:

The poll shows Rubio leading Crist 54% to 36%. That’s serious stuff.

On the pres..22% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way Obama is doing his job. Yesterday the pollster noted 41% Strongly Disapprove that makes his approval rating at a minus 19 (The lowest ever).

    One slight correction, though. Obama hit -21 on 12/22/09 in Rasmussen’s approval index. That was his single-day worst (so far!).

      That was a minus 21 on the 22nd of dec.(does seem a bit of an abhorration doesn’t it? he was minus 17 then -21 then back down to -18. They must of hit weird patch of calls that week.

    is accurately reflect the voting populace’s feelings at any given time (that’s why he’s been one of the most accurate pollsters around) His methodology for determining ‘likely voters’ and the party affiliation of voters at any one place in time is the most sophisticated of any pollster out there.

    The only reason he seems ‘out there’ is because the alphabet polls are still sampling D + 12-15 and not only are they not polling LVs, they’re not even polling RVs; they’re polling freaking “Adults” so that they can drive the news rather than report the news.

    Holy cow, do not apologize for those who do accurate polling, and accurate reporting. It only SEEMS right-leaning because the rest of what’s out there is so lefty.

    Rasmussen’s accuracy has a proven track record. It’s WaPo, ABC, Gallup, NBC, USA Today, et al, who need to lead off with a “true, we’re more LEFT-leaning than the accurate polls”.

    Perhaps it seems we’re beating up on you, but there’s a point to be made here. The right has to quit being doormats to all the politically correct Nazis, racists, and bigots on the left, who all day long are trying to shout us down and intimdate us into either silence or subserviance. We have to aggressively tell them “Here’s the truth, now go suck it.”

    The more accurate a poll is, it “seems” to tilt right.

    I suppose it’s part of that “fairness” thing the libs are always calling for that really means: “Be kinder to me because I’m an idiot and don’t know any better.”

    appear to be tilted a little to the right given that many of his polls have bended in our favor. perhaps it is just a perception thing. That doesn’t mean you can smack me on the shins with flyswatters first thing after your down morning coffee. geez. tough crowd. .
