Many people say that Rasmussen polls are biased, leaning to the right, politically. Others say that they are representative of the US population, being a serious and professional polling service with a longstanding record.

Rasmussen did predict Trump's 2016 win, while other polls failed to predict this. Or is it something else - maybe they do not get different results especially often after all, or perhaps they simply use a different technique that leads to different results? Let's get the facts.
