I don't usually write diaries but I think Rasmussen can no longer be taken seriously as a pollster. He is spinning so hard for the republicans he has to be on their payroll.
Of course we all know how he always has Obama with the lowest approval rating of anyone and pushes his strong approval strong disapproval theme.
Today he has him at minus 17 which sounds very ominous but you find out at the end he actually has him at 47% approval. Again he uses whatever he deems to be a likely voter for approval which is just not right because non voters still have an opinion of their president and may turn into a voter.
The thing that really got to me was he had a poll of Patty Murry of Washington it showed her leading all announced republicans by double digits. Of course he had to throw in a poll with Dino Rossi that had him leading 48-46 when this was only done to weaken her. Rossi has no plans to run for the seat. Rasmussen is becoming a troll for the right wingers and is not getting any pushback from the media. He never polls any races where the democrats are strong and his sole purpose seems to be to convince Americans that democrats will be wiped out this year in the senate.
