Not surprising. People have been saying Rasmussen is biased for years. It makes sense, really. Its a completely logical step in the "spin cycle". Blame mainstream media for a "liberal bias". Create blatantly biased conservative media outlets (radio, tv, newspapers). Make wild accusations "in the press" and repeat ad nauseum. Eventually, the main stream press will report on the issue too and then its "real news". Then poll on the stories with a biased polling firm, by over-polling your target audience. Report the results on your biased outlet. Reports giving your positions and candidates strong results filter into main stream and become accepted reality. When the real results turn out different, it doesn't matter as long as you win.
