Oh look, here's some Rass polls used against Bernie by Hillary supporters:

Here's some posts by you (William769) all the way back to 2007 and newer where you have no problem partaking in discussing Rass polls, not mentioning that they are garbage of a sort.

Here's one from 2007 where you (William769) implicity recommend a post using Rasmussen:

Where it is cited the "torturous" 5 day a week daily tracking polls - showing why Obama isn't going to win and that Hillary had a 11pt lead (Rassmussen poll)... oops.

Funny how people are willing to quote "bad polls" when it favors their views; tear them down when they don't like the results. In fact, overall, it looks like your dislike for Rassmussen starts in 2016.

Just sayin'
