Rasmussen Poll Roundup
Posted by DavidNYCKos has a big Rasmussen poll roundup, including swing states MO, OH, OR, PA and VA. And how do ya like this: We're back one point in MO, two in OH, one in OR, one in PA and (this is somewhat amazing to me) just two in VA. No trendlines on VA, but that's still mighty close. (MoE's for each of these polls are different, ranging from 3% to 5%.)

I don't understand PA numbers at all. Unless Bush is doing extremely well in some counties in PA Kerry should win PA by at least 5 percentage points.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the Rasmussen Poll results, good or bad. Their results tend to be extremely volatile, and with some frequency, wildly wrong. For example, four years ago, their final national poll had Bush winning the popular vote by a margin of 9%, which was by far the least accurate prediction by any national polling organization. Here is an article on the accuracy of the various national polls:

How about the huge lead Kerry has in Maine? Supposedly a swing state this year. Kerry is kicking but up there. An indication of strength. It must make the Bushies very nervous.

June 5, 2004--Before the Democrats settled on a candidate from the state next door, Maine was thought to be a battleground state for Election 2004. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds Senator John F. Kerry with a huge 54% to 35% lead in that state over President George W. Bush.

I do not understand how Bush could possibly win after his record in his present presidency. To vote for him is to show disregard for the wrong he has done to this country. I pray to God we dont get four more years of him.

Speaking of Rasmussen, does anybody know which states they'll be releasing poll numbers for today? And are there any other state polls people are anticipating?
