OH: Rasmussen: Obama +1

[J. J.]

I really don't want to be 'that' person, but does D+3 make sense?

It probably is close, higher than Rasmussen and lower than PPP.

No, but someplace between PPP and Rasmussen would make sense.

[J. J.]

No it doesn't because PPP has a proven track record of very accurate polling while Rasmussen produced ridiculous GOP leaning garbage.

They are both good pollsters, but each has a house bias.  The numbers between those two polls are 3 points.  If PPP leans slightly to the D's and Rasmussen to the R's, these numbers make sense.

To the exclusion of various other pollsters showing Obama's lead even wider than PPP did.

Which ones, the mail poll, the university poll, the polls that more than 10 days old, or WAA?

Except for certain uni polls, in specific states or regions, they tend to be crap.  We have the 2012 version of "Landslide Landon," with the Dispatch mail poll.  We have WAA, which isn't a good poll (and shows Romney carrying the state).  So, we have two good polls, PPP and Rasmussen.
