`:::#Please provide a reliable source for your accusation that Rasmussen data is ``conservatively biased.`` Was it so-biased when it showed Bush's poll numbers in the tank? :::#Poll numbers were included in the previous president's article almost instantaneously, so this argument holds no water. While I agree that the numbers should show a trend over time, there's no precedent for simply ignoring them. :::#I agree that data from multiple polling agencies would be helpful. Most that I've seen also show a sharp decline, though. :::#It's not ``rendered moot`` by your statements of opinion at all. I'd say if the Rasmussen numbers have trended down for a matter of a few months, it's enough to make such statements, as long as those statements are identified with the Rasmussen polls in the text as well. :::   `
