"If Rasmussens polls give more favorable results to Republicans in seven out seven comparisons to other polls, that's consistency.

And shows bias."

 

No it doesn't show bias, in the sense you mean.  You offer no proof of bias.  What it shows is accuracy in reporting the opinions of a unique population (likely voters) as compared to other polls that get their data from populations that include non voters, and even non citizens.  If anything it is statistically biased toward the unique population consisting of "likely voters".  But that is the population most intelligent people are interested in.

 

But this has  been pointed out to you several times here.  You just don't like the idea that likely voters are likely to vote against your hair brained candidates and ideas.  So you want polls of that population to be stopped or the results ignored (or demeaned).

 

By the way describing your mental abilities is not "name calling".

Mall sure does not like others to use "likely voters" results at all, since likely voters are showing a "conservative bias" result, huh? Guess how it would be if they showed a "liberal bias"! Too funny....

You know, guys, I've never had a problem with polling "likely voters".

I merely pointed out in the sample I examined, that Rasmussen polls were consistantly biased toward favoring conservatives.   You've never addressed that fact.   One possibilty I offered multiple times in multiple ways is that they may choose their "likely voters" in a way that gives that result.   Like perhaps in the selection of the geographical location.

I may also have confused you when I said all polls are not done to predict the outcome of an election in which case "likely voters" might not be the right population to poll.  That apparently went right by you.

 

Too funny?

Then you wouldn't be offended if I called you the most ignorant, densest, closed minded being I can recall.
