Rasmussen is well known for polling heavily in favor of Republicans. They are often the outlier, with very positive polling for Republicans. Not out of any intentional lying about it, but just the nature and methods they use to do their polls.

Last week Trump even tweeted about how 50% thought he was doing a great job.

Now....only 45% do. The majority of people (55%) disapprove. Wonder if he will tweet this?

Any reliable poll on President Trump will have a 35 % margin of error.

Keep that in mind and you won't be disappointed and able to move on quicker after the next election.

This particular poll is legendary for being a massive outlier thats very very biased towards Republicans.

They came the closest to predicting the results of the presidential popular vote results as well....which they gave to clinton by 2%, the actual result gave her 1%

Given that. lets be nice and call it 46% are in favor of trump, and 54% arent. LOL.

Any other nonsense?

PS-Your guy Trump has posted thier polls on twitter, they seem good enough for him, or do you finally agree that he is a idiot?

Not a chance. Trump supporters have egos just as big as Donald himself. No way they'd ever admit that Donald has absolutely no idea what he's doing.

They KNOW it, but they'd never admit it.

Trump had huge disapproval s ever since he ran



And he still won the nomination and the presidency

Dems aren't going to win by pointing at polls

So then, you would interpret this as meaning that Trump has an 80% approval rating. Not surprised to hear you say that.

I'm just saying that the polls about Trump will not be effective. We both know that any poll now is a poor prediction of the 2018 race.

Anyone that would run on the GOP ticket for President could very well be an idiot considering the witch hunt that is sure to follow. The point = will I support the Democrat idiot or the GOP idiot. I will support my idiot who keeps his promises and continues to work towards keeping them. Never has there been such a President in my life time as Trump on that important issue.

Who will be your idiot ? Do you even know ?
Picking the wrong candidate could have a drastic impact on your poll.

Except Trump himself bragged about this poll having him at 50% and it dropped to 45 in like 2 days. Can't claim this one is biased or unreliable when Trump himself is tweeting it and it's a very right wing poll.
