Iowa. Both Romney and Paul went up by 2 points.

I don't see how Newt is at 17, I've never trusted Rasmussen anyway.

That asshole Carl Cameron just reported this on Faux News. He said it so smug.
I really do despise him. He worships the ground Mitt walks on.

Last minute Rasmussen mittens pump?

 

[Original_Intent]

Their lies will be exposed in less than two weeks.

In Fox News' eyes, the only thing better than a Rasmussen poll, is a poll that omitted Ron Paul completely.

 

[tremendoustie]

Ouch -- well, rasmussen was always the worst.

 

[AggieforPaul]

I hope this is an outlier, and not newsletter fallout.

 

[LatinsforPaul]

For Rasmussen, I would say 20% is good for us especially for just Republican voters.

 

[braane]

Let's use it for motivation.

I hope this is an outlier, and not newsletter fallout.

He went up 2%. The newsletter didn't hurt him. As others have mentioned, Rasmussen always has Ron lower.

Yea and RCP needs to update the Iowa numbers with this poll that they left out:

Has RP 3 points above Gingrich

RP @ 28
Gingrich @ 25
Mitt @ 18

I hope this is an outlier, and not newsletter fallout.

Ron gained since the last Rasmussen poll. Also, other polls that have come out since the big newsletter push have shown Ron at the top. Honestly, I don't think there will be any fallout from the newsletters.

Gosh, when does the "pollster accuracy" window - the period before the election when pollster results are compared against the voting results to determine their accuracy - start? I have to believe that Rasmussen will stop "conditioning" their samples when there's proverbial money on the line.
