Final Poll: Rasmussen(Nov 2-4, 2012)  Obama 48%, Romney 49%
Margin of Error(MOE): +-3%
Final Results (Nov 6, 2012)  Obama 51.1%(+3.1%), Romney 47.2%(-1.8%)

1. Obama was on uphill by Sandy (so Obama could add 2~3% during 2-3days)
2. Romney's turnout was worse tha Obama (especially, as exit Poll: Black voter-66%, White voter-64%)


Missread 1.8%~3.1% wasn't that horrible as Red Avatars are bashing Rasmussen everyday.
(unless they did Poll-Plus forecast.)

Especially, TRUMP's turnouts would be much better than Romney for sure.
So in my opinion in 2016, I don't think Rasmussen is overvaluing TRUMP's numbers that much.

It's so weird Red Avatars are always looking down Rasmussen Polls.
(But they never complain of  Ipsos/Reuters Poll, Even when they weight Women 60% - Men 39%
Dem 45% - Rep 31% - Ind 12% in this summer.)

Lies. Ramussen is part of the vast "right-wing conspiracy" sent to destroy us. I will never surrender to you or their inaccurate and awful polls.

You're citing the national poll alone; what about state polls?

Ohio:
Rasmussen -- Tie
Actual -- Obama 3.0+

Virginia:
Rasmussen -- Romney 2.0+
Actual -- Obama 3.9+

Wisconsin:
Rasmussen -- Tie
Actual -- Obama 6.7+

New Hampshire:
Rasmussen -- Obama 2.0+
Actual -- Obama 5.6+

North Carolina:
Rasmussen -- Romney 6.0+
Actual -- Romney 2.0+

Iowa:
Rasmussen --- Romney 1+
Actual --- Obama 5+

Colorado:
Rasmussen -- Romney 3.0+
Actual -- Obama 5.4+

Nevada:
Rasmussen -- Obama 2.0+
Actual -- Obama 6.7+

Sure, call their results good when they got the winner wrong in six states, and consistently had a strong Republican bias, while other pollsters were much closer.

They called the wrong winner in 3/8 swing states and weren't even close to the MOV in the others.

I've already explained here why your arguments are faulty. It should be added that a poll uses a sample to estimate the opinion of the entire electorate and the margin of error shows how much this estimate may differ. Because this estimate can in no case be the actual results, it can't be simply assumed that its value at the edge of the margin of error closest to the actual results is the correct value of the estimate; it is equally valid to assume that the correct estimate was on the opposite edge of the margin of error. This is why margin of errors are always two equal and opposite values and why any comparisons must be made with the actual estimate
Furthermore, the margin of error is dependent on the number of respondents. If we assumed your logic, a smaller sample with the same results would be even better since it would have a larger margin of error.

Why even bother with this user? At least before he was just a simple user spinning crap to somehow show it benefits Trump, while ignoring stuff that couldn't be spun. And then upon his initial glorious return, he started attacking users like a childish troll.

His posts are digital garbage, plain and simple.

Scott Rasmussen looks like he should be an executive at Chick-Fil-A.
