This is how far off Rasmussen was:
Prediction========Actual Results=====Accuracy of Rasmussen
Colo: Romney by 3, Obama won by 4.7…Rasmussen was off by 7.7
Wisc : Predicted Tie, Obama won by 6.7…Rasmussen was off by 6.7
Iowa: Romney by 1, Obama won by 5.6…Rasmussen was off by 6.6

Ohio: Predicted Tie, Obama won by 1.9…Rasmussen was off by 1.9
U.S.: Romney by 1, Obama won by 2.3…Rasmussen was off by 3.3
Rasmussen has a lot of explaining to do.
@Mark2 – Surely nobody will take Rasmussen, Gravis, or Sufolk seriously anymore. Gallup has a lot to think about as well. PPP appears to have been the most accurate.
What you guys are not seeing is that Obama did not win his re-election, his campaign did! If fact he didnt do himself any favors along the way and lets start with the first debate. He did not have any earth shatterng speeches and come ou with world stopping solutions. His campaign ran a better campaign than the other side, they looked at EVERYTHING and responded with all they had, and they had a couple lucky breaks along the way too. But all in all they did a better job!
This is what Ratboy said…..what a delusional spinner.
^Rasmussen has failed for 2 elections (2010 and 2012) in a row now. He just lost what little credibility he had left.
@

Yes, another classy fellow. You learned at a young age how to have humility in victory and grace in defeat.
I think two losers of the night were Paul Ryan and Hillary Clinton.
-In Ryan’s case it will be an uphill battle for Presidential aspirations as no loosing Vice Presidential candidate has in subsequent years won the Presidency. (Mondale did win his party’s nomination though).
-The realities for Hillary. 8 years of Clinton then a party change to 8 years of Bush. 8 years of Bush then a party change to 8 years of Clinton. You would have to go back to Reagan/Bush (1981-1993) for a 12 year party run on the Presidency by a party.
-Also the presidency is a YOUNG MAN’s game. By the time 2016 rolls around the county will have a quarter century of Presidents who were first elected at the ages of 48-54. She would be 69 and is no Ronald Reagan.
Keynes, he did clarify but it was still incredibly insensitive even if it turns out the storm did help the President. I don’t have a problem with Rove or Joe Trippi or other D’s/R’s on the networks, you know where they are coming from. I always find the hypocrisy amusing that people are calling out Rove but quiet on CM, who in my opinion does not deserve the benefit of the doubt, not because he is a Democrat but because of what he says.
@Keynes
Yeah, they’re done for now. Nate Silver and RCP were the best Prediction Models and the PPP destroyed Rasmussen.
You guys are being to hard on old Karl. He didn’t want to give up the battle. People get passionate about elections and no one like s to lose.
Tingles admitted the storm helped Obama.
Matthew, RedBarSoup,
I rest my case.
It would have destroyed Obama if he was a Republican. The site of all those freezing and starving people with no FEMA in sight over the weekend. The media would have had a feeding frenzy and it would have hurt him bad in the polls.
Propaganda is very powerful tool.
SP with the media thing again.
Wolf Blitzer just aired a segment on how the Republicans pundits and strategists got it wrong with the Polls. He actually showed clips of Dick Morris, Karl Rove, and a couple of other delusional Republicans.
@Sicilian Papa – I am not being hard on Karl. Several of his clients – people who paid him a salary to work for him – went down in flames last night. I fully expected him to be distraught. But this goes to my point that he should not have been doing commentary last night when he had so much invested in the outcome. Fox News did not do him or itself any favors. Chris Matthews is undoubtedly liberal and unquestionally rooting for Obama. However, he was not overseeing a billion dollar political machine and he has not worked on a political campaign for more than 20 years – certainly no one in office today. There is a big difference. I am not particularly offended by partisans, but I am leary of people with a fiscal interest in the game they are calling.
Where is Ralph and the other nuts. The nuts who thinks because Fox wins in the ratings, the country will vote for a Republican. Like I said four years ago. Fox can win the ratings everyday as long as a Democrat wins the election. It’s 2012. Not 1955. It’s not just a country for white people. It’s not just a country for rich people.
@ Papa,
“It would have destroyed Obama if he was a Republican. The site of all those freezing and starving people with no FEMA in sight over the weekend.”
Richmond county (Staten Island ) is usually republican but actually voted for Obama this cycle. The federal government job is to send the state the relief they ask for and they did, it was Mayor Bloomberg’s failure that he responded late to Staten Island. The government did its job unlike when it didn’t during Katrina.

Propaganda is very powerful tool.
Could you imagine if the media showed Obama giving a campaign speech on split screen while on the other side people were starving and freezing with no FEMA in sight.
My favorite comment about Karl Rove from another Conservative:
“Karl, we gave you a 1 Billion dollars and you didn’t deliver. Get in the car Karl. The Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, and Steve Wynn would like to take you for a ride.”
In exit polling 42% of respondents said their vote was influenced by President Obama’s response to hurricane Sandy. A whopping 70% of people polled approved of President Obama’s handling of the storm.
I rest my case!
Thanks for the video, classic!
Prove me wrong and I will shut up!
Tell me you saw reports over the weekend on any of the corrupt lib. media broadcasts asking where FEMA was. Did they ask those poor people that where starving and freezing how much help they where getting from FEMA.
I know the answer.
Propaganda is very powerful tool.
