Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing
in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.

The Rasmussen Reports ElectionEdge™ Premium Service for
Election 2006 offers the most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a
mid-term election. We update the President’s Job Approval
Ratings daily and are polling every Senate and Governor’s race at least once a month in
2006.

Rasmussen Reports was the nation’s most accurate polling firm
during the Presidential election and the only one to project both Bush and Kerry’s vote
total within half a percentage point of the actual outcome.

During Election 2004, RasmussenReports.com was also the top-ranked public opinion
research site on the web. We had twice as many visitors as our nearest competitor and
nearly as many as all competitors combined.

Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, has been an independent pollster for
more than a decade.
