MO: Rasmussen: Obama leads by 6

[Rowan]

State polls lag by a week or so. Lets wait a week to see where we are at then.

Umm... this poll was conducted on Wednesday. Not last week. Not the week before.

Exactly and Wednesday is when this race started to tighten. Wait until next week.

You're not making any sense. Why would a state poll, taken on the same day as a national poll, be expected not to reflect that day's national poll but the national poll from one week ago?

Because it has been shown time and time again that the state polls do lag.

With no disrespect to Sam, that just makes no sense whatsoever

It would make sense, if there is a more of a lag in publishing state results, or they cover a longer window of time.

Oh, definitely, but Rasmussen had this poll in the field Wednesday only.  I don't think that state polls lag behind national polls conducted at the same time.  That doesn't really make a lick of sense to me.

It doesn't make sense to me either, I'm just pointing out that more often than not there seems to be some type of lag for some reason.
