Rasmussen polling methodology is flawed because it relies on landline calls during weeknights, excluding significant demographics.

If you consult their methodology, you'll find that they randomly call house phones from 5 to 9 p.m. on weeknights. That pretty much excludes anyone who doesn't have a landline, who works at night, or who likes to party on weeknights. Their process is also an automatic, robotic call. So for someone to take their poll, they'd have to receive this call on a landline, hear the recorded prompt, and decide not to hang up.
