Take out the Rasmussen poll and Trump's Approval is -13

This shit ALWAYS happens when the election neers. Rasmussen starts coming up with complete BS polling 15 points off everything else to make it look like the GOP has momentum. If you take out the outliers the past few weeks his negatives actually look as bad or worse than they have for months.

A week before the election he'll start conforming his results to what the real polling firms are publishing and then use his final poll to claim accuracy. 538 seems to be onto his racket.

They have a pretty big correction for Rasmussen already, so it doesn't make sense to adjust it further by taking Rasmussen out.

Conservatives can buy. Shouldn't surprise anyone as much corruption is going on from trump and the gop that they have probably paid them off for results for themselves to claim publicly, and make it look closer for putin and his hackers to swing the votes in their favor again. trumps scared or he wouldn't be acting out so desperately now. He knows they're losing their ass off right now. And its getting worse.
