Rasmussen only poll what it wants too now?

2008 Democratic Presidential Primary: Clinton 28% Obama 24% Edwards 11% - Yahoo! News

There's little change this week in the Democratic nomination contest. Senator
Hillary Clinton (D) continues to lead with 28% of the vote from Likely Democratic Primary Voters nationwide. The latest Rasmussen Reports Election 2008 poll shows Senator Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) (D) still in second place with 24% of the vote. Former Senator
John Edwards (D) has support from 11% and former Vice President
Al Gore (D) weighs in at 10%.

While Gore still attracts more support than many who are actively seeking the nomination, the Democrats' Election 2000 nominee indicated again last week that he has no intention of running for office at this time. Therefore, unless something changes, Rasmussen Reports will no longer include the former Vice President in our ongoing tracking of this race.


Hold on here...... from the same company only a couple of weeks ago

Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) earns support from just 10% of those polled. Edwards has consistently been in third place. However, now he shares that spot with former Vice President Al Gore. For Gore that reflects a slight gain from the 8% level of support he enjoyed a week ago


The Rasmussen Report by it's own polling data shows Al Gore climbing from 8 percent on February 5, 2007 to 10 percent on February 19, 2007. How is this not something that should be watch and dialoged about this the people that you poll. Clearly your own data suggest that American are interested in Al Gore.


Again, from Rasmussen own website.


Gore, Clinton Lead Romney by Double Digits
February 8, 2007
Republican Mitt Romney

Former Vice President Al Gore (D) leads former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) 52% to 38% in the latest Rasmussen Reports Election 2008 poll. A month ago, Gore had an 11-point lead over Romney.

Senator Hillary Clinton (D) has upped her lead over Romney to double digits. She now leads the Republican Presidential hopeful 51% to 41%. A month ago, the former First Lady was ahead of Romney 49% to 41%.


Seeing how Mitt is one of the front runners on the GOP side checking the pulse of the public as to which Dem would run better against Mitt or anyother GOP canidate would seem to make sense. Now here is a bit of political advice from our years working with elected officals. If a politicans says they were or were not going to run for an election or for that matter do what they say they are going to do you may just want to stick around to see if that is the case in long run.

So I would also suggest that the Rasmussen Report come back and look at this blog post just so it can know how stupid, sorry for the poor choice of words, however this either is that or a joke. Or Rasmussen could get back to polling and not trying to stovepipe the information it makes the group look all illuminatish.
