I have ignored the Rasmussen poll for some time because they kept getting Obama higher in acceptance than Gallup did and finally last week they have been getting him lower. Yesterday's call poll finally showed his approval at 48% to get more even with Gallup. Here is what they show for his real approval rate where people get to say heavy approval, kind of heavy and so on. Finally he is nearer the -20% he was for a couple of years before the last e******n. I think they finally called some Republicans.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of v**ers in the survey sample are white, 11% black and nine percent (9%) Hispanic. Additionally, 33% of the v**ers are Republicans, while 37% are Democrats.

I think some of the pollsters are starting to see their credibility going down the drain because most have consistantly slanted their results to favor the Marxist/democrats. I don't pay attention to the polls myself anymore, because I can't be sure they are being honest on how they ask the questions, how they screen their calls, and how the manipulate the numbers when they come up with their statistics.

I don't think you have watched Rasmussen at all. They always show the questions, tell how many of each party, age group, etc were involved in their polls. Of course, for a while after the c****ation II they did show the number to be about even or just a few - points over while they had had him at about -20 for two years. I was afraid that the people had changed for a while but finally they got him up to -13 yesterday and only 48% on the kind that Gallup is. The -13 is what they get when they put together their very favorable ratings with their very unfavorable and that is where the -13 comes from.

Always read on Rasmussen how they did the poll because they have the whole procedure always.

Always make sure the questions are not leading questions. All the pollsters are good a framing questions for the answer they desire. I don't pay much attention to any of them.

Have you ever looked at Rasmussen? Most of the prog persuasion spend too much time trying to take them down and they know exactly nothing, other than what they are told by left leaning blogs, about Rasmussen. I think that Rasmussen is very good although the owner is just a bit Repbublican.
