Rasmussen Alert

by: GreyMike

Sun Jun 05, 2011 at 14:27:25 PM EDT


Just got a lengthy robo-poll call from Rasmussen, wide-ranging subjects and fairly interactive with answers via dial pad choices.

Mostly the usual stuff, most important issues, country on right track or wrong track (nothing like a meaningless binary measure there), etc. But, the most interesting to me was the "who's qualified to be POTUS" list for the R's, and some names NOT mentioned: Romney, Guiliani, and Palin.  However, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Caine, Christie, Bachmann, Ron Paul, were all mentioned, and I may have missed a couple (maybe Huntsman, but I got bored along the way).

One always has the distinct impression that each question is predicated on the answer that was given before, and the whole thing definitely sloped to the right (no surprise with Rasmussen) with a number of very vaguely worded questions when it came to ideology.

Anybody else get this one who remembers more specifics or different info from the foregoing?

Did not get the call (0.00 / 0)
But I don't think your "sloped to the right" is necessarily the correct interpretation.  I always think of who is funding the poll in order to interpret the questions. It sounds to me like it was likely one of the right wing candidates like Pawlenty or Palin or Bachman who was testing the waters here.

Maybe, (0.00 / 0)
maybe not. Leopard not likely to change spots, and polling technique matters independently of actual questions asked.

They. Don't. Care.
We do.
Rinse, repeat.
