Rudy v. Hillary

Following up on an earlier post on who can beat Hillary, the latest Rasmussen Reports poll shows Rudy beating Hillary by 2 points, narrowing the gap between them in the RCP polling average to less than 3 points. This is significant for two reasons: (1) Out of the six polls included in the RCP average, the Rasmussen poll is only one of two polls with a Likely Voter sample, which usually produces a far more accurate poll than one that just uses Registered Voters, and (2) Rasmussen was considered one of the most accurate polling firms in the 2004 presidential election.
