Proof that Rasmussen is full of shit -

When they polled Arizonans how they felt about the Paper's Please bill, they said 70% approved.

BUT when Arizona's own pollsters asked, the result was a bit different...still not great, but.....

A poll released Tuesday indicated that 52 percent of the public statewide supported Arizona's new immigration law, 39 percent opposed it and 9 percent were unsure. Republicans, Caucasians and those aged 55 and older were the strongest supporters, while Democrats and minorities were the strongest opponents.

I do agree Rasmussen is crap though.

4. Weren't the polls taken numerous days apart?

Seems to me that's more then enough time for a 20 pt swing, particularly after the boycott got cranked up.

7. Not really proof of anything.

Other than showing that polls can produce different results depending on how a question is worded and presented.

But I always love DU's main criterion for judging a pollster: "Do I like the results?"

9. An 18 point difference is above the margin of error...but...whatever.
