An article on Scott Rasmussen simply regurgitates his bio, which claims he has been “an independent pollster for more than a decade” and “has never been a campaign pollster or consultant.” Think Progress does the work:

According to the non-partisan Center for Public Integrity, Rasmussen has been a paid consultant for the RNC and President Bush’s 2004 campaign. The RNC paid Rasmussen $95,500 between 2003 and 2004 for items listed as “survey,” “survey cost” and “voter data.” Bush’s campaign paid Rasmussen $45,500 for “survey research.”

Ouch.
