The plan to Rahm through a health care bill on reconciliation may have gotten the Sheeple’s attention.

In 2000 the black percentage of population was 12.9. Guessing it is higher now. they voted 97% Obama.

The “strongly” approved numbers are on a consistent downward trend. What seems to be the variable is softness in the “strongly” disapprove numbers which are almost on a downward trend as well.

>> His last poll was about 9 days before the election, when Coakley was ahead by 2. He didn’t poll after that. <<

Yeah, but Ras was savagely criticized by a number of FReepers simply because he didn't poll during the last few days. Most of these bashers seemed to be saying that Ras's failure to poll was a pro-Dhimmi act of deception, designed to hide Coakley's weakness, to discourage Brown voters, etc. The paranoid thou shalt have with thee always, I guess!

The die hards are too uninformed to know anything that is happening. They can’t learn either.

I always said that if the US voted along racial lines, the Dems will not be able to win.

For now, but 20 million new citizens are on their way! And the American people will be so happy to have new competitors for vanishing jobs. If they can figure it out.

Hasn’t abortion really slowed the growth of the black population? Another unintended consequence of liberal policy

No Alan... you are wrong. I was listening to zogby and ras on Hannity’s show at about 4:30 PM Central the day before Brown's election and he predicted along with zogby, a narrow win by Coakley. He stated that his polling data was the same as a week before and he was not releasing a new poll. He was wrong and you can check Hannity’s archives for the proof.

Two weeks ago, Rasmussen Reports released a poll showing that Republican challenger Scott Brown had closed the gap in Massachusetts to single digits. Prior to that release, “The overwhelming conventional wisdom in both parties… was that Martha Coakley was a lock,” writes The Politico’s Ben Smith, adding, “It’s hard to recall a single poll changing the mood of a race quite that dramatically.”
A week later, the shock continued as our final poll in the race showed that Brown had pulled to within two points of Coakley. In fact, among those who were certain they would vote, Brown was up by two.


Where does that leave us? On Intrade, Brown begins Monday morning as the slight favorite in the race. However, nobody really knows who will win because it all comes down to turnout. Clearly, Brown has the more enthusiastic support and has run a better campaign. If turnout remains low, he is likely to win. That’s why the president went to Boston. If his appearance boosts turnout among Democrats, the Democrat will win.
That’s a long way around saying that we’re right back where we were a week ago - at the time of the last Rasmussen Reports poll. Brown is leading slightly among those certain to vote, and Coakley will do better if more Democrats show up.

Public opinion really moved the last weekend before the election, which was after Rasmussen polled.

i would take R’s polls over any other poll out there.

You are right that he did hedge his bets, but his data was out of date by then.
