I don't understand: Rasmussen says the MoE for these small states is 5%, which would mean a sample size of about 500.  

But if you take 500 people a day, you'll only get about 4 or 5 each day from Arkansas, Alabama, Oregon, and South Carolina and only two/day from Maine.  This would be samples of 120-150 for the medium-sized states, a MoE of around 9%, and an insanely small 60 person sample for Maine.  

Is Rasmsussen oversampling the small states, or it this whole project BS?

I put my vote with BS.
