Interesting from the not-very-credible Rasmussen Trump Approval Poll

[titaniumsalute]

Disclaimer: Rasmussen is an outlier poll. They always have been. Their methods are questionable. But one thing, no matter what methods are used, as long as they are consistent it can produce a trend.

So I usually venture over to see the Trump approval polls every few days. I put more credence in the Gallup polling then most due to their methods.

But today I saw the Rasmussen Poll. It actually had Trump at 49% Approval 51% disapproval. I was rather shocked. It was actually the same number yesterday.

But the most interesting part was they also publish the Strongly approve and Strongly Disapprove data. Trump's Strongly Approve is down to 33% the lowest number since he took office. The highest was 42% the first few weeks of his Presidency. In addition, the strongly disapprove data is showing 41% today. (It was 42% yesterday.) The highest it has been since he took office.

Keep it up Donnie Boy.

1. Those are interesting numbers

Especially the strong approve number. I hadn't looked as rass in weeks and just assumed they were still propping him up. Maybe they're getting the message that NOBODY considers them reliable other than the rightest of right wingers.

3. That's not it

They haven't changed their methods. I think the insane support is waning some. Yes he will have the boot lickers until forever but I think there's numerous Republicans and moderates who may have voted for him, wanted some change, and are seeing the writing on the wall.

4. I WISH (and hope)

that were true but I will never trust rass not to massage numbers for the cons. But they do have a "reputation" to protect.

2. Yeah, IIRC Rass has about a 3-5% Repub lean, at least...

if he's losing them, he's really pissing some people off.

5. Stockholm Syndrome Or...

We secretly like Russia running our government.

6. Gallup approval/disapproval is also trending against Trump lately

7. Yes

8. Rass polls registered likely voters, while everyone else polls adults.

At least that was the case last month when I checked into their polling methods. So, that means Ras is mostly polling older white folks, i.e., GOPers.

Not really sure the distinctions of "registered" and "likely" voters are at all accurate or relevant this far away from the next POTUS election.

9. No but as long as methods are similar

You can produce a trend. And I like this trend thus far.

10. Very true.

Another trend in the right direction... at least until the next time #45 grabs credit for good news he didn't cause.
