Why Is It That Rasmussen Reports Surveys And Those Conducted By Other Organizations On The Same Topic Or Political Race Sometimes Produce Varying Results?
Every poll has its own DNA, if you will, and every aspect of it influences the results it achieves. Oftentimes, the difference is in the sample it surveys, adults vs. likely voters. Other times, subtle differences exist in the way the questions are asked. We recommend you look closely at how each poll you’re comparing differs in order to assess for yourself why the results may be polarized or similar. For more on the differences in polling techniques, you can also reference Scott Rasmussen’s commentary on the subject here.
