Rasmussen Tracking Bush 47 Kerry 46 (yesterday Bush up by three)

[WI_DEM]

The latest Rasmussen tracking poll has Bush and Kerry within a point of one another 47/46--yesterdays results had Bush up by 3--48-45, so Kerry must have had a good day on Sunday.

1. Great, but polls really don't mean much now

6. Polls right now track a trend. So they actually do mean something.

2. Rasmussen has an awful reputation

[WI_DEM]

4. maybe but he has generally been showing Kerry up

in his tracking poll until last week.

3. You're telling me that 3% change their mind from day to day

in that case, polls now are NO indication at all of how the election will turn out.

5. Set up!!!

I bet Rasmussen got nervous when he had * up 3 yesterday. If he had it that much or more today (beginning of the convention), it would be harder to have a bounce for *. Now that it's only 1 point, when * is up 3 after his speech, it can be reported as a bigger bounce than Kerry.
