Yeah, it's also important to note that Rasmussen has a record of bias in favor of Republicans, not just simple inaccuracy.  You should take every poll with a grain of salt, but this is not a blatant outlier so it's a decent piece of data.

Before or after Scott Rasmussen left the company? I think the jury is still out on this cycle, their numbers are just bizarre.

Who really knows, right?  Was he personally responsible for the biases in their polling which resulted in a Republican bias in their polls? Maybe I don't know.

I'm personally skeptical about Orman winning in any case just based on the fundamentals of the state.  Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Orman won by 5% or lost by 5%.
