Looking over Rasmussen's state results, I don't see any wrong calls.  Did he get any states wrong?  Did he just get lucky?  Kind of hard to believe luck alone would account for a 1.000 batting average.  Is a major media contract in his future?  Perhaps Reuters will dump Zogby ...

I think he hit them all.

I'm still not totally sold, but obviously a performance like that commands respect.

Yep, Botman did very well. I just saw his polls vs. actual results sheet, and he nailed every state except for Alabama, which he was off by a bit.

Good work, I'd have to say.

I hate to say this, but did Rasmussen did better than Mason-Dixon?

for a comparision of all poll predictions for the states see:
http://www.electoral-vote.com/pollsters/
Mason Dixon  had 13/13 correct winners (not necessarily the correct percentage)
Rasmussen had 30/31 (He had IA a tie)
Survey USA  had 30/31
Even Zogby had 20/23

Those numbers aren't right...I know for certain that Mason-Dixon missed MN.

Rasmussen did pretty good. I think he may have underpolled the winner's margin a bit, but he got most of them. A great job he did.
