We need to face the cold hard truth that Trump is the most popular president ever!



Rasmussen has deemed it so! So, therefore it must be!



Just kidding. I just find it hilarious that they have the Dotard surging to 53% when every single other poll released yesterday from HarrisX to Morning Consult to Yougov to Ipsos has him retreating to the low 40s.

Nate really needs to remove Rasmussen from his averages. Why keep them? They are flat-out lying and are way out of line of any other poll ever released during this apocalyptic presidency.

… by altering the sample. Hillary Clinton won the Democratic Primary and the General Election in 2016. Unlike Bush versus Gore, it was not close.... however, Trump was elected. Hillary was the most popular politician in the country, yet she's often called the "loser" and "unpopular". People look shocked if you say, "Hillary was the most popular." The polls were wrong, they say, because Trump won... so, the pollsters think they have to alter their sample to get a more accurate reading. Rasmussen and others will then get a bigger Conservative/Republican sample. Other pollsters follow - they don't want to be wrong and the "Vote" winner versus "Electoral College" winner blurs... pollsters have to be correct; it's their business. I think they alter their sample and it looks like Trump is more popular.

There should be 10% hard core racists, 4% extremely rich people and 1% who accidentally pressed the wrong button on the phones.

Any number in the 30s or 40s should be embarrassing.
