Mitt's co-chair to campaign says peace out, sucka!!!

[RR7]

How does the debate go?

Romney: Your economy sucks
Obama: You suck

Maybe Romney will try to bet him $10,000 that it does suck?

As of election day. He's pretty clearly not the most accurate pollster *right now*. I predict that Rasmussen's numbers will gradually come in line with the other pollsters by election day, and he'll get a pretty good final result again. And only fools will believe that Romney was actually winning in late September just because Rasmussen said so. Whether his polls are bogus today due to intentional bias or accidental bias is unknown to me, but it certainly must be tempting to put your thumb on the scale in September, knowing that you'll only be judged by your November accuracy.

I don't think he changes his polling methodology later in the election season.

He wouldn't be in business or taken seriously if he did.

Well, there is another explanation, namely that his methodology simply works better closer to elections. One can imagine several ways that might be true, e.g. a mis-weighting of who is likely to vote.

Rasmussen is one of few (I don't actually know another) firms that weight according to political party.

Rasmussen is the 'go to' poll of Fox News. That's all I need to know about its legitimacy.

I'm pretty sure Fox News Polling is the "go to" poll of Fox News.
