Rasmussen's Polling Stirs Bias Debate
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyIf you follow the polls, including those often cited in this blog, then Rasmussen Reports is a familiar name to you.

Republicans Pass Democrats in Congressional Preference Ballot
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyThere is a surprise for Democrats and President Obama in the polls on this 100th day of the Obama presidency that could put a damper on the celebrations, especially among Congressional Democrats. Rasmussen Reports published new results for its generic Congressional ballot, and for only the second time in the past five years, Republicans topped Democrats in voters' preference for Congress.

We'd like to offer a different perspective, with the help of four national polls.First, the poll referenced in the "Disapproval" article. That was from Rasmussen Reports, which on the one hand is well-respected for its accuracy in the 2008 election. On the other hand, the poll is featured on a web page with banner quotes from Larry Kudlow, Michael Barone and Bill Frist and with ads ...
Obama's Disapproval Rating Reaches New High
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyPresident Barack Obama's approval ratings have declined steadily since he took office three months ago. A new poll out today shows that as the president approaches his 100th day in office, the percentage of Americans that disapprove of his job performance has reached a new high. Rasmussen Reports' Daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows Obama with a 54-46 percent approval rating. The approval and disapproval numbers represent record low approval and record high disapproval for the president, respectively. Moreover, the spread between respondents that strongly approve or disapprove of Obama's ...
