Pro-Trump Rasmussen Poll has Trump at His Lowest Numbers in a Year

Granted, Rasmussen is Trump leaning polling company, but even they can see the bottom falling out. The 43%-55% (minus 12 points) in the actual Rasmussen numbers are adjusted by 538 for bias to a 35%-56% (minus 16 points).

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 43% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-five percent (55%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 32% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 46% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14. (see trends).

The president’s overall job approval rating has been falling since his Oval Office address last week calling for enhanced border security and the building of a wall to help stop illegal immigration. This is his lowest daily approval rating in nearly a year.<snip>

Other polls show him in steady decline since the shutdown began but nothing this extreme. I suspect Rasmussen may have tweaked their formulas a bit after they got slaughtered in the midterms.
