GatewayPundit.com, a hard-right website that is "not afraid of conspiracy theories" and Rasmussen, which doesn't poll cell phone users, but only those who still have landline phones and still answer them, has proclaimed that Trump is one point higher today than Obama was at this day eight years ago.

Break out the champagne.

THIS " SURVEY" ISN'T WORTH THE INK IT IS PRINTED ON!
Except that polling more Republicans would not accurately reflect the voting population. Maybe you should do some homework before you yell at us in dark red

Manafort Round 2 coming up, that won't help Trump's numbers.

Do you realize how many voters a 6 point edge equates to in a national election? Obama only won by 7 or so in 2008, but it equated to a 10 million vote edge.

Keep torturing Manafort.

We have a Kavanaugh Kram coming up, a Bruce Ohr-Christopher Steele Match.com sighting, more Lanny Davis-CNN fallout.

It's gonna be a nice week.

We also have not felt the full effect of Trump's crude, offensive and disgusting behavior during and after McCain's death in the polls. That will drop it further. That is in addition to his other stupid tweets regarding Canada and attacking labor unions on Labor Day. Good job Donny!
