LA-Rasmussen: Cassidy (R) takes the lead

[Senate Minority Leader Lord Voldemort]

Beautiful.

It's Rassy

I don't get the whole "oh, it's Rasmussen thing."  Their polling has been pretty much dead even with PPP, Quinnipiac, Survey USA, etc. this election cycle.  I am well aware of their problems in 2012, and so are they, which is probably why they made the adjustments necessary and are producing some pretty legitimate polling.

I suspect that Cassidy really is up three points at this point, which, yes, is wonderful.

They do produce accurate polling.... when you automatically subtract 3-5% from the Republican candidate. They're consistent though, which is good.

Given that Landrieu has won two runoffs in the past, I'm guessing that she's not in the hideous shape that some people think she's in.

The last runoff she won was twelve years ago. I used to think the fact that she won the '96 and '02 runoffs she had a good chance of winning one this year, but so much has changed in twelve years I don't think they're comparable situations.
