With the first presidential debate coming on Monday, Donald Trump has moved to a five-point lead over Hillary Clinton, his biggest advantage since mid-July.

1. ROFL

They're gonna get Romneyed again.

[niyad]

2. and yet, other polls quoted here yesterday had the exact opposite.

[writes3000]

3. This is ridiculous and a waste of time.

[Democat]

4. Some people seem very happy to post pro-Trump polls

Along with concern about how "were screwed!"

[grossproffit]

12. You're noticed that too?

[LanternWaste]

13. More often than not, the glee is from low-count posters as well.

[Democat]

17. You can look at thread titles and guess how many posts the user will have

Usually not hard to guess. That means they're not doing a good job.

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. I like the ones that joined October-November 2012

They're my favorite! Hung around for a second humiliation!

[Wounded Bear]

22. Sometimes, you can look at thread titles...

and guess what the text will be.



(not aimed at you, but at the repetitious poster above you )

[Demsrule86]

39. So what one wonders is the motivation...nt

[Andy823]

14. Yep

And I notice that many of those who only post the ones in favor of Trump, never jump in to say anything when the polls show Hillary with a larger lead.

[vdogg]

5. The same Rasmussen that had Romney winning the day before the election?

Riiiigghht.

[Monk06]

31. Yep I believe that is the exact same Rasmussen The same one that stops polling pulls out of field

earlier than everyone else so they don't look like an outlier

Rasmussen is reliably pro R as per 538

[still_one]

6. NBC/WSJ had Hillary up +6. Ras over samples republicans, but regardless, national

polls are not a good gauge because of the electoral college

[Agnosticsherbet]

7. Rasmussen does this every time, and then slowly moves closer to reality very near the election so...

their gratuitous lies are not exposed.

[blm]

8. LOLOLOL……wanna buy a watch?

Do people really not understand the poll game, yet?

[Loki Liesmith]

9. Rasumussen weights by Party ID

They got annihilated way back in 2000 when they were "Portrait of America". Their polling was just so off they decided to start weighting results by party ID. This has caused its own set of problems.

I suspect they periodically release polls to "change the narrative", so to speak, but I can't prove it.

[asiliveandbreathe]

10. What surprises me is that someone from DU

would even think twice about a Rasmussen poll....it is known to be righty leaning -

538 - even with rasshit -

[BootinUp]

11. This poll seems to have a consistent 4 -6 point Trump bias. nt

[Sugarcoated]

15. Are you concerned dude?

[Ohioblue22]

16. I don't give a fuck what any fucking poll says I'm voting and voting for clinton.

[Sugarcoated]

18. Fuckin ay

don't be overly concerned.

[Ohioblue22]

32. Really they go up and down and it doesn't matter cause I'm voting no matter what they say...nt

[unitedwethrive]

37. I agree...and refuse to believe that this country is stupid enough to vote for a con-artist

[geek tragedy]

20. rASSmussen? nt

[Dr Hobbitstein]

21. Your concern...

is noted.

[Stellar]

[NCTraveler]

24. What does it matter. Romney isn't just going to give up the Presidency to either of them.

[DFW]

25. The names "factfinder" and "Rasmussen" go together like oil and water

But you knew that, right?

[saltpoint]

26. "Goodness, Grandmother -- What a red, red,

red polling outcome you have!"

[MFM008]

27. All to drag down her average

They and CNN do this every damn time.
She gets a bump up and the maggot suckers
drag it down with fictional polls.

[Cattledog]

28. This poll says 14% of Dems support Trump! 10% of Repubs support Clinton!

[workinclasszero]

29. Rasmussen = republican

They always carry water for republicans

[pnwmom]

30. A "full demographic breakdown" is only available to platinum members. In other words

we would have to pay money to show why this R leaning poll is a pile of crap.

No thanks.

[uponit7771]

35. +1

[TeamPooka]

33. Stop w/ the Rasmussen polls. They suck Then I have to click on it just to trash it from my feed

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. LOL

Huffington Post excludes it as well as all other landline only polls because it cell phone users who comprise nearly 50% of the nation.

[Bill USA]

36. Rasmussen, good for laughs

[Demsrule86]

38. Really?

Rasmussen...haha...so welcome to DU. Your concern is duly noted.

[RBInMaine]

40. Don't you know that Rasmussen is REPUBLICAN SHIT polling? They had Romney winning the day before the

election. Please. Enough.

[book_worm]

41. Stop posting Rasmussen--it's a GOP pollster.
