If you feel strongly enough, you massage your model to reflect it. He calls out Rasmussen specifically, time and time again. Rasmussen's track record, though, isn't that bad, and includes two "best of shows" for the most important prediction in terms of media attention (overall vote). There's just been a campaign against Rasmussen (probably led by the Silver criticism).
