there are some mixed messages coming from the polls. VA is another tipping point state that should be close to the national avg, like CO.

So are we to believe Obama is up 8 and down 2 at the same time?  

If you take all the state polls coming this week, there is a lot of divergence and I cant tell who is trending

Usually the polls don't really line up in the weeks after the conventions.

At the same time, Rasmussen's polls are obvious junk and should be ignored.

This 52-44 result is actually the same result as the final WaPo poll in VA in 2008.

Of course we know that Obama won VA by 6.3%, so the WaPo poll was only off by a 1.7% margin.

Which would confirm we are looking at a 2008-ish environment. But, hacks gonna hack...

in 2008, the last rasmussen poll gave O+4... not so bad...

Yeah, at the end of the race when he wanted to claim he had a smidge of credibility he made up some numbers that fit within the general consensus. Rasmussen doesn't poll, he makes stuff up.

never said that

You don't need to say it, we all know you think that when you consider OH, FL, VA, CO, IA dead even when the only pollster to say they are close is Rassy and even he gives Obama the edge. You're to the right of Scotty when it comes to your trolling and it's getting old real fast.

Sorry, mondale84, but my APStats teacher from high school was actually polled by Rasmussen in 2010.

I don't believe that for a second. Your AP Stats teacher must have been another one of these right-wing trolls.
