AND...........your point is exactly what? Why did you cherry pick Rasmussen out of this chart? 7 out 8 had republican bias. Is the variance from CNN statistically signifcant? I think your bias is showing.

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.

Lawmaker From Nevada Faces Inquiry on EthicsBy ERIC LIPTONPublished: September 21, 2011 lose Digg MySpace Reddit Tumblr Permalink WASHINGTON — Nevada Republicans have filed an ethics complaint against Representative Shelley Berkley, Democrat of Nevada, accusing her of using her office to enrich herself by promoting legislation and intervening with federal regulators to help out her husband’s medical practice. The allegations, which followed an article published this month in The New York Times, have already changed the dynamics of Ms. Berkley’s bid for a Senate seat, as she tries to explain her role as a champion of kidney care, given the status of her husband as one of Nevada’s top doctors in the field. In 2008 Ms. Berkley helped lead an effort to block a move by federal regulators to close Nevada’s only kidney transplant center, which her husband’s medical practice helps run under a $738,000-a-year contract. She also successfully pushed regulators, as recently as March, to reverse a plan to cut Medicare reimbursement to dialysis centers, including the dozen her husband’s medical practice owns. She did this at the urging of a coalition of kidney-care industry players that included a trade association for doctors that her husband, Dr. Larry Lehrner, has helped run for the past six years. Ms. Berkley herself acknowledged to a Las Vegas newspaper last week that she might not have done enough in 2008 to disclose her husband’s work at the hospital when she intervened.
