Rasmussen Reports used to be a fairly creditable and credible political polling organization, good enough to be included among the pollsters relied on by services such as FiveThirtyEight to give a broad-spectrum gauge of voter sentiment in the run-up to state and federal elections. It's true that Rasmussen had a detectable pro-Republican 'house effect,' in polling parlance — but one that was consistent enough to compensate for in published polling averages.
' That unsupported assertion, of course, is the core of the long, fruitless campaign to overturn the election by Lake — who gleefully cited the Rasmussen results. Rasmussen polls on COVID vaccines and other such topics aren't entirely worthless.
