Kenneth, November 4, 2010, 10:41 PMRasmussen Polls Were Biased and Inaccurate; Quinnipiac, SurveyUSA Performed StronglyBy NATE SILVER
Every election cycle has its winners and losers: not just the among the candidates, but also the pollsters.

On Tuesday, polls conducted by the firm Rasmussen Reports — which released more than 100 surveys in the final three weeks of the campaign, including some commissioned under a subsidiary on behalf of Fox News — badly missed the margin in many states, and also exhibited a considerable bias toward Republican candidates.

Other polling firms, like SurveyUSA and Quinnipiac University, produced more reliable results in Senate and gubernatorial races. A firm that conducts surveys by Internet, YouGov, also performed relatively well.

I have always wondered, after seeing Fox News constantly quoting Rasmussen, whether the Rasmussen had a negative bias against the Democrat's. Thanks for posting the above information.
