Rasmussen’s polling techniques are unique in that they poll daily, M-F and only poll land lines.

Who are these people who answer calls from unknown numbers and disclose personal information?

Rasmussen, like most polling companies, projected a win for Hillary in 2016.

Trump loves polls when outcomes are favorable to him and condemns them when the outcome is unfavorable.

Oh? Please do share with us where we sign up for the far better than the ACA plan he told us time after time would be in place immediately after he took office.

If you want me to respect your potus, then make him earn it and not behave like a spoiled brat. To me, he's a senile, approval seeking, old man whom I wouldn't let drive.

Not even considering the fact that rasmussen is unreliable since they only called landlines (what?).
So...basically old people approving an old senile president.....and only atb 51%? It's actually quite embarrassing.

I'm aware. And I doubt that many people under 40 have landlines any more. By targeting them, they are trying to stay away from the demographics that won't provide confirmation bias. Trump and Rasmussen are obviously big fans of each other. That's why I go to Polling Report to get a blended view from all reporting polls.

Your understanding of Trump supporters can best be described as Cartoonish.

You statements may be a little emotional but factually you are dead on the money. The longer Trump is on office and the more people begin to really understand what kind of person he is, the harder it is for his supporters to maintain credibility or to defend their positions. The only recourse is to retreat to a cult-like mentality in order to keep up their facade. While this is totally unprecedented here in the USA, there are plenty of examples in world history of demagogues and authoritarians that have maintained their power through cult worship.

How do Obama's actions impact Trump's inferiority complex and constant need for approval? I think Trump has Mommy Issues.
