Let’s take a look at Rasmussen’s final polls for the Senate races vs. the actual results to see if there is evidence of a systematic bias towards Republicans in their polling. I’m only looking at Senate races where there was a Rasmussen poll within the last month. There are some really obvious states (like Idaho [...]

Democratic Senators Harry Reid (Nevada) and Michael Bennett (Colorado) were both predicted to lose by the pollsters. They did not. Just last week the Republican leaning pollster Rasmussen had the Tea Party nut Sharron Angle ahead of Reid 49% to 45%. Nate Silver’s model over at 538 predicted a 50% to 47% win for Angle. [...]

The far right wing “Tea Party” extremism of Christine O’Donnell in Delaware, Sharron Angle in Nevada, and Ken Buck in Colorado cost the GOP three Senate seats that they very likely would have won with a “generic Republican” candidate.

Polling is showing all of the following Republican Tea Party Senate candidates losing support as average (non-crazy Tea Party) voters learn more about their insane far right wing ideas that benefit no one except the super rich: Joe Miller – Alaska Ken Buck – Colorado Pat Toomey – Pennsylvania Rand Paul – Kentucky Sharron Angle [...]

WTF? How crazy is the Republican Tea Party that they have a candidate for Senate who starts off a political ad with the line “I’m not a witch”?! And how creepy is this ad? What’s up with the weird lighting and the strange way she speaks? It’s almost like she’s trying to hypnotize the viewer.

Some recent Senate polling shows momentum for the Democratic Party. In California, Barbara Boxer now has a 51% to 43% lead over Carly Fiorina according to this poll. In Nevada, Harry Reid now has a 45% to 40% lead over Tea Party lunatic Sharron Angle according to this poll. In Kentucky, Rand Paul’s lead over [...]

In Delaware Republican Mike Castle was ahead of Democrat Chris Coons by a comfortable margin in polling which made him a big favorite to win Joe Biden’s old Senate seat for the GOP this November. Then Sarah Palin and the Tea Party got involved and moderate Republican Mike Castle is now gone. Far right wing [...]
