Rasmussen? No. Just no. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/ I trust 538’s pollster rankings. Rasmussen gets a C+. LA Times gets an A-. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Seeing you like 538 research "herding" on that site in regards to pollsters. This occurs because pollsters don't want to look foolish and generally will find a way to rationalize changing their numbers if they are an outlier to more closely match the other polls. It's one reason why polls are often not accurate now. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

This is not correct. Polls are just about as accurate/inaccurate as they've always been. Nate Silver has written a lot about this as well... “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Yes Nate Silver's analysis says poll accuracy is "about" the same. He also says "And in many recent elections, the polls were statistically biased in one direction or another — there was a statistical bias toward Democrats in 2016, for instance."

Isn't it time to brin back Nareed? The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Appears it be. Going to fix... Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Sounds like he should quit, assuming it does not get him axed. By how much he added it seems he needs to go work at a lamestream network. The President is a fink. |

Yeah. And there are factions within Fox mgmy as well, notably between Rupert Murdock and one or more of his sons. Fox News is just one division, and a lot of their reporting is dressed-up opinion. They like to beg off as entertainment if they're held accountable. So probably their most valid response to "you're not fair and balanced" is when they say, "but look at Simpsons and Family Guy and the rest of our programming". Agree Seth has made hundreds of millions more for them than Carlson. Not that I can see their balance sheets. O'Reilly might have been up there, maybe, in contention. Carlson never has, never will. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |
