Of all the polls you have seen, there is one poll that has gotten no attention, it is a poll that has been taken monthly, it is a poll that Doug Ross spotted and promoted on his site. It is the Rasmussen Poll of party identification.

They have party identification results online dating back to 2004. Here are the 2012 numbers through August

That shows a GOP advantage in registration this year. So why the heck are they sampling a D+5 in their poll? Makes no sense at all....

Because they are running what is called a “push poll” which is a form of psyops designed to discourage their opposition from voting.

Its allahpundit who is a Dem operative there .
A big fan of Nate Silver , the former Daily KOZ pollster.

Read the comments and you see that NBC pollster was playing tricks with the weight and its a +7 Dem and way off independent ratio .

More fun and games from the National Barack Channel .
Sad to see WSJ has fallen to the left too.

F Chuck Todd was on Morning Joe today crowing how this poll mirrors the 2004 election with Obama having the lead that Bush did. HOWEVER look at the internals of both polls and how they skewed this one to get 2004 results:

2004 Sept NBC Wall Street Journal poll

49 Bush/46 Kerry Dem 40/ Rep 39/Ind 14 /other 4/ not sure 3

2012 Sept NBC Wall Street Journal poll

50 Obama/45 Romney Dem 42/Rep 37/ Ind 16/ other 2/ not sure 3
