I have a friend who only looks at Rasmussen. It pretty clearly has a
right-leaning bias. It always seems to be one of the outliers.

OK, If you dont' like Rasmussen then what poll IS truely fair and
balanced that cuts right down the middle, and not to the left or the
right?

Heh, heh... Tim. You don't actually expect a clear response to that,
do you? She only gives vacuous responses, and makes feeble attempts
to put down other's posts. There's nothing there worth engaging...
unless you're really bored.

It's a more female version of donnie.

I think they need to be looked at as an average. CNN does something like
that with its poll of polls.
