Rasmussen Numbers: Still Close

Other blogs already have this, but the Rasmussen numbers have been released for their March poll of Iowa. It’s frustrating how little polling is done here. These are really the only reliable polls, and they only happen once a month.
Here are some interesting facts that don’t have to do with the campaigns in particular but are kind of … yeah:
Most Iowa voters think that most politicians would change their vote for a contribution. But, as in other states we’ve polled, a majority also don’t see this is as a reason to institute publicly funded campaigns.
When asked about the abortion issue, 61% say abortion is morally wrong most of the time while 25% say it isn’t. A plurality of 45% would support a South-Dakota type ban, making abortion illegal except when the life of the mother is at stake.
Uh oh.

Further concerns from the poll results:
“Most Iowa voters think that most politicians would change their vote for a contribution. But, as in other states we’ve polled, a majority also don’t see this is as a reason to institute publicly funded campaigns.”
Which can be summarized: most Iowans are dumb.

Rasmussen is notorious for asking skewed questions on issues like this. I wouldn’t buy it without seeing the actual wording. Remember how bad their wiretapping question was?
