Rasmussen Poll Opinion I

Greg Pollowitz @ NRO

I think something is wrong here. The same poll has Santorum's favorability at 42%. It seems odd that Santorum's favorability rating is higher than those willing to vote for him.

Rasmussen has some other odd results of late. On May 18, he released poll data from Ohio that had Strickland up 16 against Ken Blackwell and had Brown leading DeWine.
Yet, during roughly the same time, The Univ. of Cincinnati poll had entirely different results. They have Strickland up by only 6 and DeWine up by 10.

This is terrible news for Santorum, as it shows that he is still failing to bring his base back to where he needs them. In fact, the recent primary victories may have emboldened conservatives, sending a message that they don't have to accept politics-as-usual, which is what many view a vote for Santorum as.

The Big Fat Slob is counting eggs.

it gets worse for the Senator and better for the perennial Pennsylvania candidate, Bobby Casey Junior -- Senator Santorum's favorable rating is down to 42% and nearly half of his constituents view him unfavorably -- 47%. Nearly 6/10 Pennsylvanians have a favorable view of the challenger -- 59%.

Hard to see how things can get much better for Santorum -- according to Rasmussen, Pennsylvania voters -- by a wide margin -- prefer the Democrats over the Republicans on issues like the economy, energy policy, and Iraq.

Casey now has the race to lose and Santorum, well his anti-immigration policy makes more sense. Since he'll be looking for work soon, he needs to keep the competition out.
