"irregularities" ? lol. So you think the poll with 25% more republicans respondennts then democrats is fair, and a more or less even poll isn't?
You're in for a big surprize on Nov 2. You'll be wondering, how come all polls where showing Bush lead by 2% and he lost by 5% or so.

And Rasmussen has already posted that there will be no precise post debate poll until Monday. So stop quoting it.

Rasmussen: Bush 49% Kerry 46%

Rusmussen says it's a 1% bounce; however the Bush margin has been between around 1-4% for about a month in the Rasmussen poll.

I thought the following observations from Rasmussen was significant:

The first debate did little to change voter perceptions of the candidates' political ideology. However, following the debate, there was an increase in the number who say finishing the mission in Iraq is more important than getting troops home as soon as possible.

This is significant because most voters don't think completing the mission is Kerry's top priority. Yesterday, Rasmussen stated:

As for the candidates, 71% of voters believe that finishing the mission in Iraq is more important to George W. Bush than getting U.S. soldiers home as soon as possible. That's up from 66% before the debate.

As for Senator Kerry, 25% now think his top priority is finishing the mission. That's up from 18% before the debate. Still, 57% say that Kerry's top priority is getting the troops home. That's down from 64% before the debate.

These results confirm another finding that 54% of voters favor leaving U.S. soldiers in Iraq until that country's political situation is stabilized. Also, since John Kerry has begun his more aggressive posture on the War with Iraq, the number of people seeing him as politically liberal has increased to its highest level of the year.
