I’ve been looking for credible presidential tracking polls, and I came across this poll from a group called [[http://www.rasmussenreports.com/index.htm](http://www.rasmussenreports.com/index.htm)]Rasmussen]( [url) Research. Apparently, Fox News used their numbers quite a bit in 2000, but that doesn’t sway me much.

Anyone know much about 'em? It’s one of the few currently-rolling tracking polls, so I might be interested in paying for their more-detailed stuff. I’m a junkie for statistics. If they’re generally respected, it seems like a pretty good deal.
