Why doesn't Rasmussen make primary polls anymore?

[Ashdric]

Did he finally realize he is a conservative hack whose polls are highly inaccurate?

[Mass]

1. With 16 candidates? All polls are inaccurate with such a large number of choices.

With the exception of the top 2 candidates, all the other ones are generally within the MOE.

[Ashdric]

4. Without an election, we can't know that everyone is inaccurate

Obviously.

[Mass]

5. There is no way to judge of the accuracy of polls that early before an election

(and obviously, for a national primary poll, there will never be).

However, with 14 candidates below 6 % (or something like that) in polls where the MOE is at best 4%, polls are absolutely useless.

2. He still does

For example:

[Ashdric]

3. That poll doesn't ask about candidate preference

It asks who respondents think is likely to win the nomination.
Rasmussen's inaccuracy is on candidate preference polls. He stopped making those.
