Why is Rasmussen polling Kerry the best?

when it's known to be GOP-biased? And why is Kerry polling so far ahead in Iowa than the rest of the nation? The results in Iowa in the last 3 elections were almost a complete mirror of the national results.

seeing the end of the Bush cabal

Kerry 51 to * 41

by a Republican or a Democratic group, doesn't mean its necessarily biased. It means it could be biased, but then all polls can be. Democratic politicians tend to hire Democratic pollsters, but they don't do it because they think the pollsters are going to spin things to look as though they're going better for the Democrat they really are.

When people stop viewing a poll as objective, the pollster's just wasting his time. If Rasmussen is really working us over, then he's going to hurt his own business because nobody will hire him. His business suffered after he called 2000 for Bush by ten points or whatever ridiculous margin, and one would hope he'd learned his lesson.

The Corn Belt is actually home to longstanding pacifist/Isolationist tradition which has, of course, been dormant for quite a while.

Before the Cold War ... actually, even through the beginning of the Cold War, the general rule was the closer you got to the middle of the country, the stronger the Isolationism. Jeannete Rankin from WYOMING voting alone against WWI, etc.

I thought was from Montana and was the only person to vote against WWII, but one of may to vote against WWI.

Indeed, Janette Rankin was from Montana.
Wyoming elected the nation's first woman governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross.

and it had one of the 6 Republican representatives who voted against the IWR.

corporateers who run the other polls?

And maybe this is one poll that is tracking it better. Bush is facing huge troubles on all kinds of fronts, and in my opinion Kerry will win surprisingly convincingly in Nov.

I read somewhere that there is a huge contingent of either Reservists or National Guard (maybe both) troops that are serving in Iraq, & the people of Iowa are pretty pissed off about it.

his polling methods are not very good so results are not as accurate as others are. he might get lucky sometimes and be right, but we should not trust this poll.

so a little kid could end up being the one polled.

A guns-or-butter state that has always been on the side of butter. Almost no defense industry.

High per capita population of seniors. They're generally smart having grown up in some of the top school systems in the country. They've probably just been paying attention and discarding the lies like yourself.
