1. Rasmussen Has Been Tracking about +8 Compared to Gallup

this has been a long term trend. Anybody have an explanation? I haven't heard it discussed. I do recall some discussion about Rasmussen changing their model a certain number of months before Presidential elections. Funny I love polling but can't stand when they call me on the phone

2. Only Ras Would Have A Measurement Based on Strong Approvals/Disapprovals

to get to a negative number for PBO when his approval is in positive territory. Haters are always more passionate.
