Scott Rasmussen received $95,500 from the Republican National Committee and $45,500 from the George W. Bush presidential campaign as a campaign consultant for the 2004 presidential election. Rasmussen's polls are notable for their use of automated public opinion polling, involving pre-recorded telephone inquiries. Traditional pollsters are skeptical of Rasmussen's methodology and selection sampling which skews toward the GOP. These type of polls are used to manipulate public opinion, rather than get an accurate guage of it. Surprise, surprise.
