"The Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll found that 50% of likely U.S. voters approve of the president, while 50% disapprove. The poll releases its results at 9:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.
Trump proclaimed it "great news" within a couple hours:"

It looks like Rasmussen is a little out of synch...

I wonder how much it costs to get a major polling firm to agree to act as your propaganda arm?

This is banana republic stuff.

He tweeted about it, with the Rasmussen logo behind him.

I won't post it, it sickens me too much.

1. Raz polling has always sucked

The GOP uses it to drive the narrative

Then on their last poll right before an election Raz will put the numbers closer to the truth. That way their 'poll ranking' comes in better

3. 45 looks really desperate

Waving this around.

Had to cost a bundle.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. Got that right!

[marylandblue]

2. Rasmussen is a little out of sync

And their numbers bounce around a lot. He was at 55% disapproval a few eaks ago, why didn't mention that.

[orangecrush]

6. For them to be this far off

Right when he needs it shows they are completely in the bag.

4. Different respondents

Last time I checked, Ras polled registered likely voters while most others polled adults in general.

This far out from 2020, it's doubtful they're very accurate about likely voters.

7. Thanks

For the info.

13. Most likely using GOP voter lists

from a given Area. Seems to me,they call the same respondents each time.

15. Our new reality

The ministry of trump propaganda.

[Wellstone ruled]

16. Believe on of the Dem Bloggers

took this group to task and proved their methods to be questionable at best. Anyone who uses a on line type poll or combination of phone and on line has a real credibility issue.

5. Rassie polls are jokes

[orangecrush]

9. The timing

Is highly suspicious.

[miyazaki]

8. Beyond comprehension. n/t

[orangecrush]

10. Looking at the RCP chart

Exposes rasmussen as complete b.s..

[unblock]

11. 42% strongly disapprove vs. 31% strongly approve

Still terrible numbers for a president.

They eliminated any "don't know/no answer/neutral" responses, which is unusual.

Also odd is the implied 29% somewhat approve vs. 8% some what disapprove. Possible, but peculiar.

And their "likely voter" methodology notoriously leans heavily to the right.

Finally, I think this factors in an obvious but temporary bump from the d.c. shooting.

[orangecrush]

14. Thanks

You obviously know what you are talking about.

It's obviously bullshit, but when you google conald rump, his tweets show up on the page, and I wonder how many unknowing people will fall for it.

[D_Master81]

17. I call BS

they say his high approval was nearly 60%. so we're lead to believe over 10% of people who voted against him approved of him after several months of being in office?

[orangecrush]

18. Bullshit Mountain

It's a real thing.

[marylandblue]

19. When Rusmussen itself reports, they don't report the same way others do

They report strongly disapprove vs. strongly approve. Not sure why they do this, but their own measure, Trump is still underwater by -11.

[orangecrush]

22. Thanks

I see what you mean.

[wildeyed]

20. And he's bragging about his fake followers too.

He's President and all he can think to boast about is an outlier poll about how popular (not) he is and his huuuuuge social media reach. But click on 'followers' and they are all fake!

It would be pitiful if it wasn't so scary.

[orangecrush]

23. It IS scary.

Even scarier that the media and pols on all sides aren't calling for his immediate removal.

[bdamomma]

21. Is this

FAKE news

[orangecrush]

24. Yep

[Joe941]

25. After the election polls debacle does it really mean anything?

Do any polls mean anything? I think not.

[LovingA2andMI]

26. Does Cheeto Idiot Understand Anything About Statistics?

Where one take the Median - i.e. low and high of all polls numbers together to arrive at the average? For His Information, his average is nowhere near 50%.

[orangecrush]

27. He is pushing his brand

Reality has nothing to do with it.
