Most Democrats (57%) would vote to give Obama a third term. Ninety-three percent (93%) of Republicans, 68% of voters not affiliated with either major party - and 32% of Democrats - would not..
One of the worst pollsters. His polling led all those Conk talking heads to predict a Romney landslide.
Truth is - incumbents with around 50% approval rating win reelection almost every time. Obama is pretty close to 50%. No guarantee he'd be reelected. But, it's just stupid to suggest he'd have no change.
Historically, Rasmussen has been one of the most accurate polling companies over it's existence. In 2004 and 2008, it was dead on the money and was the most accurate poll in 2008. Not to mention, they were right on target in the 2010 and 2014 midterm elections as well. 2012 was it's worst year, but was still rated as average by the wingnuts at FiveThirtyEight blog.
Left-wing loons like Nate Silver, WaPo, NYT, and Talking Points Memo have been most critical, but even Silver has admitted before that Rasmussen is almost always very accurate.
