(R)asmussen: Hillary 45(+0), Trump 42(-3)

With one day post Comey included in the sample (Saturday). I hesitate to post this considering tomorrow they'll probably have her losing by 10, but important to put out there.

Because it implies that Rasmussen polls are to be trusted. Rasmussen shows the fake Trump bump tomorrow or the day after, we are left with no choice but to be hypocrites and say that Rasmussen sucks.

The best idea is not to bother with these right-wing pollsters with an agenda.

that Rasmussen has a right wing bias in its polls, but shows it close with a slight lead for Hillary, indicates that there are problems in the republican ranks.

In other words, even though Rasmussen polling has very questionable issues, on a relative basis it indicates that not much impact, and that pretty much coincides with the other national polls

The vast majority have already made their minds up is what it is implying.

It is the state polls that will determine what will happen

Rasmussen polls are as much about influencing the election than actual polling results.

same with Benghazi...now what is of interest is a FBI director going against FBI and DOJ protocols and appearing to make a release of information partisan in nature

that is spurring a lot of anger and more reason to come out to vote for hillary

Rasmussen has a RW Rethug bias built in, and if Sec Clinton is pulling away a wee wee bit (Ras has had Trump usually up) then HELL YES I am happy to see it.

GOTV!!!!!
