There's really no pattern, no predominance of customers from a certain part of the ideological spectrum. They conduct polls for Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor, to name only three. Non-media clients are quite diverse as well, from The New Mexico Gaming Commission to the National Education Assn.

This ain't the Left's answer to Rasmussen.

John

Now your going after Rasmussen???

"About Us
Rasmussen Reports is an electronic media company specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.
As a media company, we make our money by selling advertising, title sponsorships, subscriptions, and content. One thing we don’t sell is polls. Because we value our independence and credibility, Rasmussen Reports cannot be hired to conduct a poll for anyone. For our reports, we decide the questions to ask based upon the needs and interests of our audience. If it’s in the news, it’s in our polls.

One thing we’re very proud of during the political season is our bi-partisan audience. Rasmussen Reports is one of the few political sites to attract roughly equal numbers of Republicans, Democrats, and unaffiliated voters. However, we’re also excited about events beyond the realm of politics including business, current events, and lifestyle topics. Rasmussen Reports conducts a daily measure of consumer and investor confidence that was launched in October 2001, a monthly employment index that began in 2003, and a number of other business related index products.
Rasmussen Reports’ campaign coverage has been praised for its independence, accuracy and reliability.

Douglas E. Schoen, a pollster for President William J. Clinton, says "Rasmussen Reports is one of America's most insightful and analytical sources of data and analysis on U.S. public opinion. They are fearlessly independent, always ahead of the curve, and offer unique insights unavailable anywhere else. I rely on them to keep me informed about what is happening today and is likely to happen tomorrow.""


I guess your saying that Research 2000 (polsters for hire) is much more appealing than Rasmussen, who has no client list?

I ain't say'in, I'm just say'in.
