They have always skipped posting the polls during holidays.

Evidently, they have a life.

Cheers

Rasmussen always breaks for the holidays because half the people are gone and the other half don’t want to be bothered by a pollster during that time.

After the negative double digits last week there was a raid and now a Taco Bell resides where the RAS HQ was.

It’s likely that with all the extra travel, family reunions, football, and merrymaking of Thanksgiving, an accurate sample would be difficult to obtain.

There are far too many thinking and responsible folks available by phone during the holidays.

The risk is too great for Obama’s numbers to be in the tank with people using real brains answering the phones.

The only surge Obama is waiting, planning and wishing for..... is one in the polls.

Scott Rasmussen and the gang have taken an “unexpected” leave of absence for some R&R at Nasty Nancy’s Progressive House of Reprogramming. It’s a sure bet that when they return Obama will have poll numbers in the high 90s in each of the 57 states.

“Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend, Rasmussen Reports will not be polling again until Sunday. “

“However, in our absence, ACORN will conduct all polling. In its first poll, Obama has rebounded strongly and now has a +80 rating”

They outsourced their polling to CRU and the original data was lost in a move. Now they are unable to prove the decline in his poll numbers, so they are assuming they are going up.

Rasmussen is an automated phone poll, and people are not at home over Thanksgiving weekend. Hence it is useless to poll over the holiday.

I predict the Presidential Tracking Poll (the “Passion” Index) at -16% and the Obama Approval Index at 44% after families compare notes and debate over the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend.

On this page, dated Nov 28, Rasmussen reported:
Rasmussen Reports took a Thanksgiving holiday break on its daily Presidential Tracking Poll, but Wednesday marked the second day in a row when Obama’s job approval rating measured -15, the lowest of his presidency to date.
May the One keep doing to his poll numbers what he's doing to "his" country.

Well I had same question as you did. I did not see it written anywhere in the report. So I went back thru the trend page on Rasmussen. And they took three days off 3-5 of July for the fourth holiday so i concluded that must be what they did for Thanksgiving.
Now my smart alec answer is : Obama cant count more than 15 to the negative so they are fixing the teleprompter so he can have a response when the poll resumes on Monday!

I think Hussein invited Rasmussen over for a beer.

Fairness doctrine - he’s polling Palin and W’s approval ratings.

I think they had to upgrade their charting software it wasn’t able to handle the depth of decline of Obama’s popularity or lack thereof.
