LOL Rasmussen

Why lol?

It sounds like it could be accurate, especially this early on in the campaign.

[War on Want]

Sounds accurate to me. This race will look always look close, when in reality Rossi needs a perfect storm to unseat Murray.

It could become a perfect storm though as polling in midterms early on, always shows the election as being close. Over the summer will be determining point in whether it is a Republican blowout or case of the Democrats holding on after suffering minor to moderate losses.

Rasmussen is the best and most accurate.  They've consistently had their polls closest to the actual results since I started following polling.

That being said, I don't see Rossi winning this race.  A gubernatorial race is far more bipartisan and likely for the minority party to win and he couldn't do it, twice.  Now, he's in a Senatorial race in which most democrats won't think twice about voting for Patty. 

It will be tight, but I see him going down say 54-46%.

Of course if another Republican wave does happen it could sweep Murray out. So don't write Rossi off until around Labor day.

Not really.  Rasmussen seems to be fine when in close to an election, but puts up some very odd results when you are further away, at times not coming within 20 points of every other pollster out there.  Rasmussen seems like he uses an extremely tight likely voter screen.

I will admit Rasmussen has put out some questionable polls, but for history's sake, I'd like to point out that he had Hagan ahead of Dole by 1 in May 2008. In February, when every other pollster had Coleman way ahead of Franken, Rasmussen gave Franken a 3 point lead.  Those are just two examples that contradicts statements that Rasmussen is a Republican hack and inaccurate.

You're thing is that every republican leading poll is a bad poll.  Thus, I don't take you seriously with that nonsense.  Rossi's only chance in this race is a low turnout in King County and sweeping the burbs by huge margins.
