Poll used in governor’s race story shows bias

The June 17 article, “New poll shows Branstad leading Culver 57 to 31 percent,” in which The Gazette cites a poll by Rasmussen Reports, has an interesting back story.
The June 17 Washington Post has an extensive article questioning the validity of Rasmussen polling, the conservative bias. The Post states: “ ... traditional news outlets - including this one - have refused to cite his polls.”
I hope that future Gazette articles live up to the standard of “traditional news outlets” including the Washington Post.
