Silver vs Rasmussen

Ouch:

Rasmussen polls quite consistently turned out to overstate the standing of Republicans tonight. Of the roughly 100 polls released by Rasmussen or its subsidiary Pulse Opinion Research in the final 21 days of the campaign, roughly 70 to 75 percent overestimated the performance of Republican candidates, and on average they were biased against Democrats by 3 to 4 points.

That's why I remove them from any summary of the poll of polls. Rasmussen's response:

"I don't respond to comments from bloggers or others."
