Gallup is not the only pollster who had overly rosy projections for Bush in 2000. Rasmussen, who currently has Bush ahead of Kerry, had the following to say the day before the 2000 election:

Bush Up By 7 Points in Rasmussen Poll

By Brian Carnell

Monday, November 6, 2000

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting look at how well polls do in close elections. Throughout the nomination process, Rasmussen Research was the most accurate and I personally find their methods to be a lot better than those used by competing services such as Gallup.

While CNN and other media outlets have Gore and Bush at statistical dead heats, the Rasmussen poll has Bush beating Gore 48 to 41 percent, and has shown Bush with a consistent lead over Gore since mid-October.
