It looks like Rasmussen and PPP are polling 2 different USA's.

Dude, look: The stuff you post here is wrong. Some polls are ages old and not the last ones taken in the race and some polls are missing, like in Hawaii where PPP had an accurate poll and Rasmussen blew the race by more than 30 points.

If you want a real analysis, look at Nate Silver's - who found Rasmussen to be the most biased and inaccurate in 2010, by using only the last polls and not polls that were done 3 months ahead of the election.

I guess you like to cherry pick facts, which is your perogative of course. It allows you to ignore the last PPP polls from states like South Carolina and New York, where they were off twice!

Shrug.

NY was a bit off, but the poll was from early October, when other polls showed a small lead too.

The SC poll is from MAY:
