Pollster Scott Rasmussen says anyone who wants an indication of who will win the Iowa caucuses should not look to opinion surveys but to "futures markets," which predict victories for Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee and Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. "Polls are not going to tell us who is going to win in Iowa," Rasmussen told WND in an exclusive interview. Futures markets are simply reflecting the latest polls.
Latest polls show Huckabee and Obama leading. Futures show Huckabee and Obama leading. But I'm sure that's a coincidence.
Can they really be called "futures" markets when they only reflect conventional wisdom and public information from days and weeks beforehand?

They are not reflecting the latest polls. This is from the Iowa Electronic Markets. This is national, not just Iowa.

If Scott truly believed that crap he would shut down Rasmussen Reports and open a futures trading company. He is just covering his bases because Iowa cannot be polled like other elections due to their antique process.
