9. Most laughable poll out there

Hence, Repukes love it. They swore in 2012 that it was the only reliable poll (coincidentally, it was the only one that showed Romney winning). Rasmussen is a big reason the Republicans had such a meltdown when Obama won. They had all allowed themselves to be duped and conned into believing they were winning, in no small part because every Repuke pundit was quoting only Rasmussen and saying every other poll was oversampling Dems. In reality, it's the other way around. Rasmussen consistently oversamples Republicans.
