1. "I do not give much credit to Rassie's polls but this is interesting"

uh huh. Sure. lol

As I always say...

The polls are what the polls are.

Think about the double-edge nature of that for a second.




Seriously, what possible agenda could Rassie be pushing with a poll like this?

Hmmm.

3. lol Warren is doing great in THIS "poll"

Have you looked at the results?

She's leading Sanders! lol

This poll is kindest to Biden, then Warren. Those are the only two breaking the magic 15% barrier for delegates.

Edit: Hey, you just edited your post, removing the comment about Warren. Good. It was wrong. Thanks for the correction.

6. It's not national numbers that are important. Look at the early primary and caucus states.

And in the general look at swing state polls, not national polls.

7. I always take Rasmussen with a grain of salt.

Their Trump approval numbers are usually inflated by 5 to 8 points. Assuming that this is a national poll. It is hard to believe that Warren would jump 5 points ahead of Sanders this quickly, especially when compared to other polls, and Biden leading by a whopping 14 points seems suspect. I am guessing that Rasmussen had a tiny sample size, leading to some pretty big errors.
