New Rasmussen Poll: Romney Leading in Iowa

[Alcon]

Rasmussen has an extremely good track record.

Does he?  I thought he's had a fairly mediocre record for the last few cycles.

I find it quite amusing that you think you have the right to demand ANYTHING of me.

LOL!

Is "eagerly awaiting" a demand of some sort...?

Also, I'm very intrigued by what evidence you have for this too...why not present it?

Wrong, they were THE MOST ACCURATE pollster in 2008.

You do realize that using the last national poll (n=1) constitutes an incredibly poor analysis of a pollster's overall performance for a year in which they issue many more polls, local and national?  Surely, considering how much you're criticizing Nate Silver, you understand the statistical issues of using a sample of n=1?

And the lying Weasel Silver has no credibility to judge anything. He's a sniveling little weasel, a pathetic propaganda artist, and lying piece of filth.

Contrary to what this pathetic little cretin says,

Maybe you should spend more times on substantive criticism that inventing synonyms for "dude I don't like."

Rasmussen did fairly well in 2010, not as good as they did in 2008, but still fairly well.

Why are you accepting a totally different methodology for 2010 vs. 2008?  And you're trusting Rasmussen's own post hoc analysis of his performance...?

I'd like to make a few points about the subjective nature of statistical polling (and the bias that allows in even individuals attempting to be highly objective), the inevitability of bad calls, etc....but I don't think CaDan particularly cares.
