Low favorables: Dems rip Rasmussen [designed to undermine Democratic politicians and the party’s...]

Ooooh. Scott better get in line with the rest of the MSM (..)

[goldstategop]

The Democrats are in deep denial. Rather than addressing the source of their polling woes, they attack the messenger. It won't do them any good this year.

So do you actually think ALL polls are on the up and up and not biased to steer public opinion?

Ras has had a much better record, even when he was telling us we were about to run into the wall.

The dems use polls (at least public polls) to push their agenda. Ras is messing up their little game with fact not BS.

[skinkinthegrass]

...sez it all.

LOL They will get the message the day after the 2010 elections. That poll will floor them!

[FreedBird]

They will blame Bush again in 2010. If that does not work, it is time to play the race card over and over.

[Recovering_Democrat]

attacking the messenger always works real well....keep it up, libs.

[presently no screen name]

They are going to do what they please, regardless of what the majority public thinks.

You're right. The town hall meetings and the tea party rallies are proof.

Pollsters can put a very heavy thumb on the scale if they want to. Whether or not Rasmussen does lean right is relatively unimportant given that his daily questions don't change wording, nor does his methodology vary. For that reason, at least the trends in his daily tracking poll can be taken as fact.

Obama is bleeding support more rapidly than any newly elected occupant of the White House in history, whether he went from plus 25 to minus 18 ... or (allowing a 5% tilt due to alleged bias) plus 30 to minus 13. Any partisan bias is trivial compared to the undisputed and catastrophic 43% swing from "strongly approve" to "strongly disapprove".

Another interesting point is the strength of support and of opposition. Support is 24% "strongly approve" out of 46% at least somewhat supporting Obama, for a 52% enthusiasm rate among supporters. Opposition shows 42% "strongly disapprove" out of 53% at least somewhat disapproving of Obama, for a 79% enthusiasm rate among opponents. This enthusiasm gap is striking for reasons that should be obvious as we go into the 2010 off-year election, which is traditionally a time when predominantly the enthusiastic voters participate.

So long as the opposition remains motivated and supporters remain indifferent, we have the potential for the biggest electoral route in history. Critical points are:

(1) The election must be fair for our votes to count, so conservatives must be on site as observers to suppress the fraud that ACORN and other Obama supporters depend upon.

(2) Patriotic Americans who believe in the Constitution must not become complacent. All liberals in Washington are broadly despised, but we must remain motiated and go to the polls in November. We cannot be lulled into dropping our guard like the victim of an abusive spouse after the abuser apologizes - we must remain on guard against last minute lies, tricks, and other elements of democrat politics as usual.

(3) We need good, well-funded candidates. Freepers who are willing to serve need to start organizing for the elections NOW, and those who can contribute financially need to identify individual candidates and support those candidates. I am giving rather generously to multiple candidates who both have at least some chance of winning and have demonstrated integrity that leads me to believe they will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against the liberal/socialist assault we are now facing.

[Ted Grant]

When Obama had a sky high approval, they had no problem with Rasmussen.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

Yes, this is what dems do, emot.

[Mike Darancette]

The RATs should ignore all polls until December 2012.

[Vaduz]

Progressive oriented websites hate facts they want everone to operate under their system,make up a number any number so long as it fit your agenda.See Obama&Co. numbers on anything.
