For the most part, that's my opinion of the Tea Party haha.  Bunch of angry people that know nothing about the actual libertarianism.  Say most of them are just a bunch of sheep rahter than those that actually hold any idea principle above others. 

Some conservative beliefs sure, but the guy was practically running on a fresh print-off of a Republican party platform flier as it was.  I think Critz is further to the right than Scozzafava was in NY22 (the RNC endorsed candidate there), but that it is even close at all is quite telling. 

Add to that a nationally spotlighted democratic senatorial primary that undoubtedly bolstered Critz's turnout (and arguably by more than he won), and I really think you guys are seeing what you want to see here.  Of course I was saying the same thing about Republicans a week ago when they were feeling confident they were going to win the seat.....there is a reason Murtha held it for as long as he did in spite of his record being somewhat at odds with the "slight conservative" bent of that district.

Rand Paul as the standard bearer of the teabaggers?  Ok.

You have every right to refuse to admit ANYONE into your home but the law/Constitutional guarantees DON'T end at your property's edge.

This guy's a fucking idiot.

Rasmussen is nothing more than right-wing propoganda.

More damning charts here.

If you don't believe it then prove it wrong.

I don’t know about you, but it seems to like Rasmussen has done amazing job at matching the trend present for President Obama’s approval rating. At the same time, with how much talk there has been from political pundits (on networks like CNN) about how the Democrats are headed for trouble in November, Rasmussen’s generic congressional ballot does not look that out of whack.

With that said, it is important to remember that you should pay attention to the trends represented from polls and not their absolute value because different pollsters’ methodologies will change the value of a poll. In the case of Rasmussen, it is highly likely that his strategy for determining "Likely Voters" tends to make his results more "conservative" than other pollsters; but this doesn’t (necessarily) mean that his polls are any less correct than the polls of other pollsters.

With that said, the real thing I wanted to point out on this thread was that, with the exception of a lower support from Black Americans (who still have an insanely high approval rating for Obama) the Tea Party movement’s demographics are pretty representative of America in general:

Rasmussen is usually on the low end of the aggregate.

However, in the same breath, NYTimes polling is the exact opposite. They've always had Obama's approval rating much higher than average. Dare I say, they are further off than Rasmussen is. If you'd like me to make a chart similar to the one you've provided, I gladly will.

I'll give you a precursor to a chart, though - NYT has never had Obama in the red. They have had one poll where he was +1% of the 10 times they've done polls on Obama....Despite the fact that Obama has had an aggregate rating of between -1% and 4% since December.

Ok... how about instead of comparing it to other polls.... you compare it to reality.

Rausserman.... #1 in accuracy in both the 2004 and the 2008 Election.

What your doing is comparing Vgchartz japan numbers to Famtisu and Media Crate... what I'm doing is comparing them to the actual numbers.

When you combined the two together... Rausmmeran #1 in accuracy + right bias vs other polls... that = Most polls are incorrectly biased leftwing.

If you don't believe it... prove it wrong.  Since, you know... I proved you wrong.

FYI, the reason for the difference in numbers between Rasmussen and other polls is because their poll requires 100% of respondents stating if they want, or don't want, something. Other polls usually have a 'not sure' category.

Well that was a short-lived assault on Rasmussen =P

....When your citing DailyKos for valid information, you are pretty much asking for it. Its like the Fox News of left-wingers.
