An all time high (Rasmussen) or a record low (Morning Consult)? In these crazy times, polls are starting to seem irrelevant.

they can be safely ignored

I always see stories with headlines saying "Trump approval rating climbs" that cite Rasputin polls.

It all depends on what kind of people you ask. You need a batch that looks like a cross-cut of the population. Rasmussen simply uses a batch that overrepresents Republicans.

is Rassmussen ONLY CALLS LANDLINES. ZERO CELL PHONES. Can you even imagine how that skews towards older voters? It's worthless. Don't let the cons con you.

The ones which showed Clinton did not have anything to worry about in the upper Midwest states? ALL polls have a bias. They have to when they only contact about 1500 people in a nation of 330 million. So they have to weight responses based on a model. Many of the polls in 2016 had poor models and had poor results when applied to the states. Which is where elections are won or lost.

that in WI (notoriously a hard state to poll) that wasn't within the margin of error (why do people constantly forget the margin of error that is posted on each and every poll). Look at any site that aggregates polls and you get a truer sense of what is actually going on. No one poll is always accurate but rassmussen is CLEARLY BS since it doesn't call cell phones.

And look how well that worked for him.

No presidential candidate relies on public polls. They all hire private pollsters who are polling specific states where elections are won or lost. That's why they call them "internal" polls and they are never released to the public.

But Rasmussen is about the only public poll I'm aware of which actually had Romney winning.

But we had our own problems with polls in the upper Midwest in 2016. Never rely on any polls in my view.

We had basically a one-off error in most serious polls. There are arguments that people just didn't want to admit that they were voting for Trump, and a whole host of other second-guessing explanations after the fact trying to explain and fix the polling error among professionals going forward and dealing with changes in technology and demographics. Rasmussen is just openly a partisan GOP supporter.

Honest mistakes bother me a lot less than blatant lying and I tend to approach them very differently. Although the bottom line is that I do tend to agree with you about not relying on polls, I wind up throwing more venom at Rasmussen.

headed for certain extinction. We're suicidal. Homo sapiens sapiens suicidal.

doesn’t deserve any more time.
If I was a higher power, I’d just wipe the slate clean and start over.

And rest on the 6th day.

within a 3 or 4 point spread.

Let's stop worrying about his deplorable supporters who still approve of this asshole and make sure we get the folks who didn't think about who they were voting for because "EMAILS!".

"Rasmussen, of course, is notorious for their sloppy work and their pronounced Republican house effect. They are, in fact, so problematic that some polling aggregators won't use their numbers any more (in 2016, we offered a Rasmussen-free option, for the same reason). And even if one is not familiar with the various analyses of their work, a glance at their website makes clear how much they are in the bag for Trump. Consider this graphic comparing Obama's approval rating with that of Trump":

The Richie Riches I suppose. But everyday people who still think this abomination is fit to be President....something is seriously wrong with their brains.

So I see 40% support as being scary.

It's been my experience that even a Repuke who loathes Dolt45 would never telll a pollster so. The real questionwould you vote for him again?

That's who voted for him.people that did not vote for him despise him and will never approve of him.Rasmussen is a joke.

So are the freepers LOL

are too dangerous to be part of the world.

This isn't FDR's America anymore, the OG Antifa.
