Looks like they are still using landlines as part of their method:
To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel.
They claim to offset this with various corrections, but it seems landlines are the only numbers they call.
Rasmussen polls always tilt a few points slightly Republican for some reason. It’s not necessarily malicious, but something in their methodology.
I refuse to believe it’s not by design. They’ve known the issue for years and others have produced far less biased polling
Rasmussen is so dodgy that 538 dropped them from their models.
They used to call landlines, which most polling outlets gave up since that will always tilt the results older/conservative.
Not sure if that’s still their process, but with the wide gap here, i’m betting it is.
I highly doubt they’d be crappy enough to keep that up. Nobody does polls like that now

Very much still in use.
Most people younger than 40 dont answer phones, so i assume thats probably part of it.
