Rasmussen's "Daily Presidential Tracking Poll" exhibits anti-Ron Paul bias today. This is how the poll describes its survey:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows
Mitt Romney earning 47% of the vote while President Obama picks up
support from 45%. Four percent (4%) would vote for a third party
candidate, while three percent (3%) are undecided.
Much of the results of a survey depend on how you ask the questions. For example, if you ask car buyers, "Do you prefer a Lexus, a Cadillac, or another car," then the results will not be the same as when you ask them, "Do you prefer a Lexus, a Cadillac, or a Rolls Royce." Rasmussen asks its sample the first question. The correct question is this: "Who would you vote for in a three-way election: Obama, Romney, or Ron Paul."
I know that Rasmussen knows this perfectly well. The bias is not because of incompetence.
