You look like a moron when you say shit like this. Show where and how Rasmussen statistically has it wrong so that you can back up your claim ...hint- saying "everyone (whoever they are) knows, is not a factual argument....it's a moronic one.
Should Republicans be worried?

I'm personally not a Rasmussen fan. That said, its a perfectly legitimate souce to cite, and while I prefer Gallup and Pew, Rasmussen has been right many times when the others were all way off, which is an occurance that happens occasionally for each, individual pollster.

Maybe he figures the only argument a moron like you would understand is a moronic argument...
And how does someone look when they argue that they economy is "still in decline," when it's in fact growing?
Wishful projections are not proof ...but actual numbers are.
KEY CONCERNS
Although the core and longer-term inflation expectations remain low, inflation factor has become a key concern of the Federal Reserve.
The central bank said that "commodity prices have risen significantly since last summer, and concerns about global supplies of crude oil have contributed to a further increase in oil prices since the Committee met in March."
The Fed will pay "close attention" to the evolution of inflation and the inflation expectation.
The Fed also noted that the housing market remains in trouble.
"Investment in nonresidential structures is still weak, and the housing sector continues to be depressed," it said.
Moreover, the Fed chief warned of the U.S. debt challenge, which is also weakening the U.S. dollar's global status.
Bernanke told reporters that the country faces a huge problem in its massive debt load.
"It's the most important economic problem, at least in the longer term, that the United States faces," he said.

The price index for personal consumption expenditures (PCE), the indicator to measure inflation, is projected to grow at the range of 2.1-2.8 percent. That is much higher than the Fed's January forecast of 1.3-1.7 percent.
For the core inflation, which excludes volatile food and fuel prices, the Fed sees a 1.3-1.6 percent increase in 2011. That is slightly higher than January's forecast of 1.0-1.3 percent.

well....actually, it's going to increase it until we pay it back.....just how "short term" do you think that's going to be?......
No way to estimate right now, until the recovery is on firmer ground. But the whole idea was that we were going to spend money, thus increasing the deficit. You might not agree w/ the economics of that, but it's not some fringe theory.
If you were starting a small business, you wouldn't decide not to invest money upfront, because it would create a deficit. You'd understand that you have to create a deficit to reap dividends down the line.

here's a clue in case you ever start a business......you don't invest up front more than you're going to earn in the first twenty years of business....(oh wait, I have it wrong, Obama's budget didn't say we were going to pay it back in twenty years....he said we were going to stop BORROWING in twenty years)........

No.... Mott SAID he would bet that Obama would win by a bigger margin in 2012 than he did in 2008. Then we pointed out that the margin in 2008 was 7.2% and now suddenly Mott is all squeamish. So squeamish that he is trying to pretend the margin was 6% despite the fact that we have shown him the ACTUAL final results.

It is a toss up. Obviously ditzie's longevity on the issue puts him slightly in front. But fractions can be said to be slightly harder than subtraction.... so Mott is close on his heals.

No, what he was doing was looking at an article from a day or so after the election that not only rounded, but also wasn't a 'final' result number. The original articles all stated he won by 6% (they rounded McCain up and Obama down). But a few days later when the final tallies came in, the number was 7.2%.
