After Trump’s low information voters figure out they were conned by Trump’s tax cut for the 1%, I predict Trump’s approval ratings will be in the upper twenties. Let’s give it a month and see. #Wheresmyrefund. #Ineverowedbefore.
Lol nice cover. You bumped a thread from 3 years ago when you did it, did not link to the poll at the time and at the time you bumped the thread the Rasmussen poll, he wasn't even at 50%.

Have a look at the thread title.
The word "merged" gives the game away.
Seriously,you're making yourself look like the village idiot.
Stop digging.

Your post that I responded to initially was in another thread in which was a Primary poll thread you bumped from March 2016. It was since merged into the main poll thread.
They are when they don't support a position they want. They don't talk about how Rausserman said Romney would beat Obama in the popular vote either...
That wasn't a poll. That was an opinion by Michael Barone. He was wrong.
You do shed light on an interesting fact, though. Click on THIS PAGE and notice that Rasmussen and Gallup both have Romney up by +1. That's not really remarkable, but what is remarkable is that nearly every pollster uses likely voters. Nowadays, they have gone back to using adults or registered voters - all except Rasmussen. I have no idea why they do that, but I do think it has an effect on the poll results.
Economically disadvantaged poeple don't vote in the same numbers that the middle class does - unless Obama is running. Then they vote. Most pollsters believe that fact is a major contributor toward the distrust people now have in polls.

I think the distrust in the polls is because people find they don't support their agenda. I feel the reason Hillary lost is partial due to how widely she was expected to actually win. If you know the outcome, why bother voting. I nearly did but I bought into the theory that Arizona was battleground state and voted Hillary to show my displeasure for Trump. If I am not mistaken Romney (whom I voted for in 2012) was closer in the polls than he turned out and not just on national popular voting averages but rather electorally. I think he only gained one or two states from the McCain (whom I voted for in 2008) electoral votes.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that is the main reason people distrust the polls and it would be a great topic for its own thread, but a chunk of it especially with Hillary was the the fact she was destined to win according to nearly every source no matter how liberal biased the organization behind the polls were. This is shown in your link.
