For a stretch a few months back, Obama consistently polled better on Rasmussen than on Gallup nearly every day. So no, Rasmussen's polling does <i>not</i> have a conservative bias (their analysis and commentary is a different story).<br /><br />Surprisingly, after Obamacare passed, Rasmussen actually showed a more favorable trend developing for Obama than Gallup did--another strike against any allegations or right-wing bias on Rasmussen's part (or, conversely, left-wing bias on Gallup's part).<br /><br />Now Quinnipiac, I <i>can</i> see being an outlier with a right-leaning bias. That shoe just doesn't fit Rasmussen.<br /><br />From my analysis of polling trends and patterns (and I have to data to back it up), I concluded some time ago that significant disagreement when it happens between Rasmussen and other pollsters (Gallup especially) is generally systematic, but not nearly as simple as a mere case of someone being biased to the right or left. At the risk of oversimplifying, I've noted that whenever Obama is having a good week or month, Gallup shows a bigger rise in approval than Rasmussen does; similarly, whenever Obama has had a particularly bad time, Gallup shows a bigger decline in approval than Rasmussen does. It's almost as if Gallup is just more fickle, or conversely, as if Rasmussen just has more inertia.<br /><br />Anyway, I was hoping someone would put forward a plausible explanation for the difference. As far as I know, the only methodological difference is that Rasmussen gives respondents the choice of Strongly Approve, Somewhat Approve, Somewhat Disapprove, and Strongly Disapprove, while PPP and most other pollsters typically use a more traditional Approve/Disapprove dichotomy--it would be interesting to see an experimental poll from PPP to see whether or not this makes a difference in actual results.<br /><br />What I got instead was typical partisan blame-the-messenger polemics.The Interesting Timeshttp://the-futurologist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-38963005782721297882011-04-07T14:20:31.871-05:002011-04-07T14:20:31.871-05:00All GOP voters are not mindless believers of birth...All GOP voters are not mindless believers of birther, anti-govt, anti-abortion, anti-everything bull.<br />Why aren't the majority harassing their republican representatives to be the least bit responsible approaching the Federal budget.
