Nothing more than a hit piece of Rasmussen and Fox News. Nothing to see here. Move along.

The professional polling crowd has always had an axe to grind with Rasmussen. His method are not conventional, and therefore considered “unproven”. Most years he does quite well, but this was not one of those years. This will bring out his critics in droves. All but one of the studied polls had a “R” bias according to the NYT. This is understandable as all of the buzz was in the Republican direction this year. They didn’t perform as well as expected in Democrat strongholds probably because the dead are seldom polled, and the polls weed out unregistered voters who also tend to show up on election day or vote absentee.

Rasmussen needs to continue tweaking his methodology, but one bad year is nothing to get too worked up about.

If it’s a hit piece, it is definitely backed up by the election results.

Rasmussen overestimated the Republican performance in just about every race.
