Comments on: Rasmussen moves to block Dobbs presidential Run http://www.thepostemail.com/2009/11/26/rasmussen-moves-to-block-dobbs-presidential-run/ News Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:17:44 +0000 hourly 1 By: thatsafact http://www.thepostemail.com/2009/11/26/rasmussen-moves-to-block-dobbs-presidential-run/comment-page-1/#comment-3423 thatsafact Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:25:43 +0000 http://www.thepostemail.com/?p=2942#comment-3423 I'm not sure I agree with your analysis here, John, unless I'm missing something. While I grant the probable fact that Rasmussen is GOP friendly, it bears noting that he is one of the most accurate pollsters out there and was so in the 2008 presidential election. You link to Hot Air and Hot Air links to a Wall Street Journal piece, saying that Dobbs recently met with some Mexicans and is changing his tone on immigration. If this is the case, then it would be understandable if his numbers would not be high. Given that among some folks immigration is the only issue for them, I could see lower numbers based on Dobbs' alleged softening of his previous position. Lack of name recognition might keep his numbers low as well. I’m not sure I agree with your analysis here, John, unless I’m missing something.
