Burns is in DEEP

[Smash255]

It's insane to look at the fact that Burns is the most disliked Senator in the country, and then to see that he's only trailing his opponents by 3 or so points.

What other polls have their been other than the often bizzare & at times very GOP leaning Rasmussen???

I've only seen Rasmussen ones, actually. But what evidence is there that they are GOP leaning? Just because Republicans aren't polling low, doesn't mean that Rasmussen is biased; it could be that people just like Republicans more than you would assume.

Rasmussen was accurate in 2004, but his 2000 results were abysmal (he had Bush winning the PV by 9).  He has had Bush several points (usually between 4-7) above the approval of pretty much every other poll for over a year.  His polls have taken some strange swings than in some states doesn't relate to any of the other polls which are out.

At least Landrieu is leading 53%-42% in Louisiana. Obama's approval has gone down 91%-7% amongst Black voters to 77%-21% why?

The overall subsets are just that subsets and as a result generally have a small sample size & higher margin of error
