There seems something just a little fishy about the new Rasmussen poll deflating the idea that Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party, with only 11% of Republicans agreeing to the premise and 81% disagreeing.

On the other hand, the phrasing of this question seems like it’s designed to elicit a No response, especially from Republicans: “Agree or Disagree: ‘Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party — he says jump and they say how high.'”

Not surprisingly, GOP respondents don’t want to admit they are the yes-man patsies of a radio loudmouth.
