I'll be referencing Rasmussen a lot in the run-up to November. His track record for the last six years or so is outstanding. Personally, I think Zogby used to be the best, but then something happened...it's like he went corporate or something (which he probably did) and started conducting all sorts of weird, generally anti-conservative polls that of course got big play in the Dinosaur Media. See ya, Zogs...

Anyways, today's short comment is about a number I think you'll hear/see quite a bit between now and the election. Nationwide party preference numbers. It's a good quick soundbite for the Demmies, and I KNOW it will boost their confidence and also have some effect in the IEM market traders. I happen to think that number is misleading vis a vis the market outcome. This week's posts will explore why.

More to come...
