<<<From Rasmussen:>>> It has been noted for quite some time now that Rasmussen lean Republican. "Funny thing happened to me this evening. Rasmussen called me with a poll (I'm in NY). It was interesting to experience a real poll. They buried the presidential preference several questions into the poll, which certainly wasn't wise as it was the primary question asked. I also noted that the #1 answer was always a McCain/Repubican/Conservative viewpoint choice. It seemed to me that since the ideological questions were this way and likely weren't randomized (since they all were one way), it is possible that all respondents heard the same choice ordering, and that ordering could lend itself to lazy #1 choices and favor McCain in Rasmussen's polls. If anyone has any doubts about Rasmussen's bias, just take a look at the following page and how almost every finding of theirs favors McCain, and McCain is the first identified in virtually every story. rasmussenreports.com Most of what that they poll beyond the top line deal with issues known to lean Republican.>>>
