=============

Interesting that Santorum is starting to look like the stronger candidate. I think Romeny's position on the auto bailouts is killing him with moderates and independents.

1. Always add +5 to the Democrat on a Razzie poll

so it's Obama up 11 on Romney and up 8 on Santorum.

3. Got that right.

In fact I think it might be more accurate to also substract 5 from the Republican.

2. Uh Huh

Obama beats Santorum by only 3 points.

Whatever you say, Scott Rasmussen.

4. Remember

Over the weekend RAs claimed all republicans would beat obama.Now they have are trailing him.RAS actully has better approvol and
elect numbers than Gallup which has turned Into more republican leaning than RAS.

9. Remember Gallup 2000 election

In 2000 two weeks before the election Gallup had Gore down 15pts it eventually got smaller as election day arrived, The Gallup people were forced onto CNN who at that time hired them to do polling, now they are hired by MSNBC but ever since that I dismiss gallup polls

5. Santorum trails Obama by 3?

Really Scott? The same Ayatollah Santorum who trails Obama by 25 points with women.

10. Rasmussen is about as factual as Faux News.

6. Santorum also opposed the auto bailouts so if he is the candidate that will hurt him.

7. but Santorum didnt write an op/ed "Let Detroit go bankrupt"

Romney also doubled down on his position when confronted with his earlier comments. He brought more attention to himself on this issue and simpled made the situation worse.

8. I take Ras's polls with a grain of salt.

11. Or a shaker of salt three feet tall! :)
