I know Rasmussen is a conservative-biased poll and it always has been. However, they were the most accurate in predicting the 2016 election so I can't say they should be completely discarded. They had Hillary Clinton up by 2 points in the popular vote and she won by 1 point. I do wonder though why there is such a difference between them and most other polls.
Clinton won by roughly 2 not one. All the national polls were pretty close on the popular vote actually. McClatchy/Marist was the best, but considering margin of error, none was off by much.
Rasmussen may be using voter lists or their national likely voter model. One would expect that to be more trump favorable than the Gallup survey which surveys all Americans without regard to voting likelihood.
Trump's approval rating has hit 50%, likely due to the Alexandria incident. Do you think this is a temporary bounce or do you think this is a turning point in his Presidency? Regardless, despite everything stacked against him, Trump remains a very popular President. I don't like or support Trump, but it is what it is.
You need to look at the average.
He was at 35% a couple of days ago in a Quinnipiac. Now it's 38%.
But there is no doubt in my mind that his idiotic tweets and his edict restricting Americans' travel will drag him back down.
Turning point! The resistance has cried "wolf" so many times that they have become nothing but white noise when they whine, thus people are becoming wise to their constant wailing over Trump.
I think a lot of the resistance were paid and now are fading away without adequate funding. They should have chosen their "battles" more carefully.
I know some other poll this week shown some ridiculous percentage of approval of which anyone that actually reads more than the headlines knew it was not the reality.
