Romney Has 5 Point Lead

[AK Forty Seven]

Quote from Maverick74:

Nope. Rasmussen actually not only had Obama but had the closest call on the popular vote.

2008

According to Politico, "Rasmussen’s final poll of the 2008 general election — showing Obama defeating Arizona Sen. John McCain 52 percent to 46 percent — closely mirrored the election’s outcome."[39] In reference to the 2008 presidential election, a Talking Points Memo article said, "Rasmussen's final polls had Obama ahead 52%-46%, which was nearly identical to Obama's final margin of 53%-46%, and made him one of the most accurate pollsters out there."[40]

That is the result of 1 poll ,the last poll before the election .the average poll in that survey was only off by 1.7 %

Rasmussen did well in their final poll,so did most other pollsters as the average poll was right within 1.7 % in their final poll.What about all the other polls that Rasmussen had McCain winning prior to their final poll when other pollsters where picking Obama months before Nov
