Trump Surges in Rasmussen Poll, Nearly Wipes Out 10 Point Deficit In One Week

My apologies. Trump admin consistently propogates this lie and here you were saying this lie they keep saying.



It absolutely does matter. It's a major facter in the difference between a competent president leaving 2 dead from Ebola virus and an incompetent president leaving over 150,000 dead from COVID19 virus and climbing.



The rest of this is a direct personal attack that I will be reporting.

This is ridiculous, the trash that needs to be taken out is the radical leftwingers who are destroying property, looting, promoting division and racism. Seems nothing ever changes the mind of a liberal who blames Republicans for all their own personal problems. You have been told the liberal narrative so many times you believe it. Trump had nothing to do with the 155,000 deaths in this country totally under the control of the individual except in the case of NY where Cuomo sent infected seniors back to their nursing homes. Your biased, partisan opinions defy basic civics, logic, and common sense none of which ever resonates with radicals. It is your ideology of placing blame, politics of personal destruction, class envy, jealousy that has no business ever in public office

It's safe in NY now...how are things in Houston? You know, but will never acknowledge how different it was for the NY area in March and April for a myriad of reasons that you're very well aware of. We had 6 deaths yesterday. Texas? 268. Why is that? I'd love to read why NY is so contained today and Texas is so deadly?

Think Houston and TX will ever get to the NY level of deaths from COVID19? You certainly love those scare tactics don't you? Think they are working? Guess you don't get the news in NY, the fourth largest state in the nation that has 5 times the death toll as the Second largest state, How do you explain that discrepancy?

Not true! Obama did leave a pandemic plan. Don't believe me? Ask Mitch McConnell:

McConnell says he was wrong on Obama pandemic playbook - POLITICO

The real question is why didn't Trump add to the PPE inventory at all? When the pandemic hit in March Trump had been in office for 3+ years. How come?

Yes and I stated I was wrong as well, however what was in that manual and what purpose would it have served? Have you ever read the Constitution of the U.S.? Try starting with the 10th Amendment not that that means anything to you. Once you make up your mind nothing changes it, in November I am sure you will be voting for Biden. I will be voting for Trump as will most in the country who will remember the riots, looting, racism, destruction of monuments, defunding of police, taking over of cities by radicals.

Well obviously I'm going to bow to your superior knowledge over those who don't have a political bias. The fact that I don't live in your country precludes me from stating the bleeding obvious? Obama's policies rescued your economy from a deep recession created by your unregulated and irresponsible banking practises; fact. Trump took credit for Obama's achievements; another fact.

I am sure that is what the Press has told you however I cannot find what Obama policies got us out of the recession, please enlighten me with that incredible British education you have received and valuable U.S. Knowledge that doesn't exist here in my country? TARP bailed out the banks and TARP was signed by Bush. TARP was a loan that was repaid in 2009 but never used to reduce the deficit. We came out of recession in June 2009 so it is definitely magic that Obama created to get us out of recession.

Facts seem to be void of data but then that is liberalism. I have given you facts, GDP Facts! Unemployment Facts!! Employment facts!! None of which support your claim and all of which have been ignored. So without providing any data to support your claims, you have no credibility in making those claims. As a foreigner, you have no idea what you are talking about in regards to U.S. policies and results

How about instead of ranting against 'liberals' you put your absurd biases and prejudices aside for a moment and face reality:

I can read just as well as you; but no, as far as you're concerned the moment Trump took office the US economy magically recovered. That's about right, no?

Awesome, media headlines, where is the data??? 10 years of economic growth? 4 trillion dollars in 8years or 500 billion dollars per year growth, Trump 900 billion dollars per year in his first three years, a real disconnect with you and your ideology. And oh by the way what are the components of the U.S. GDP and what did each of those components add to that 4 trillion dollar Obama growth and 2.7 trillion Trump growth?

You can read and that is what you do, but comprehending is another story. You buy those articles but ignore the results. How is it was had 146 million people employed in April 2008 and 152 million in January 2017 generating 6 million NEW jobs in 9 years from that so called Obama booming economy? How many of those 152 million were part time jobs for economic reasons. You cannot seem to grasp the reality, 6 million NEW jobs created in 9 years, 6.6 million created during Trumps first three years!!

"President Donald Trump experienced a 7-point swing in support from likely voters over the last week, according to the latest Rasmussen tracking poll released Wednesday.

Trump now trails former Vice President Joe Biden in the race for president by 3 percentage points among likely U.S. voters, according to the survey. Biden leads Trump 47-44 percent, marking a significant decline from his 10-point lead a week ago, when voters said they favored Biden 50-40 percent.

The shift was driven by independent voters. Voters who said they were unaffiliated with either major party gave Biden a six-point lead, 44-38 percent, down from 12 points a week ago. Biden and Trump attracted a similar level of support from voters in their own parties, with 79 percent of Republicans saying they supported Trump and 76 percent of Democrats saying the same of Biden."

Trump Surges in Rasmussen Poll, Trails Biden By 3

Trump sure is closing the gap more quickly than we thought!

The article goes on to explain that Rasmussen samples a greater number of Republicans than its competitors. The underlying print here? Nearly every competitor samples far MORE Democrats than Repulbicans, Rasmussen is one of the few polls with a relatively even number of Dems and Reps, compared to the U. S. electorate

"Rasmussen was one of the most accurate pollsters in 2016 — correctly predicting Hillary Clinton would win the popular vote by two percentage points — but fell short in the 2018 midterms, when it predicted voters preferred Republicans by 1 percentage point. Democrats won the House by a cumulative 8.6 percent that year."

Let me explain it to you, the 2008 highlighted numbers are Employment numbers thus taxpayers. The 2017 numbers are what Trump inherited 152 million that exploded to 158.8 million in February 2020, that is more new jobs created in 3 years than were created in 9 years. the 142 million in June is 4.8 million created from June to July. Get it yet? you have bought into the Obama myth destroyed by official U.S. data. I will have no problem posting the part time jobs either. I suggest you stop buying media reports and go to the official sites that generate the official numbers

Nice dodge but I'm calling you out on it. You mentioned "CONTEXT" in one of your recent posts - what about the context of NY deaths? More importantly, you avoided answering the key point - why is NY so good now and why does the rest of the country, especially Texas and Houston suck so much?

Your governor really sucks - he, like you, ignored what we've done in NY to contain Covid and now your state is paying a horrific price because of your governor and Trump. Are you man enough to answer - and to answer honestly without "whataboutism?"

Not sure why liberal math is so much different than actual math, looks to me like 6837 deaths is less than 32710 deaths but apparently those don't suit the liberal rhetoric

You don't live in my state yet claim my governor sucks? ROFLMAO, typical liberal diversion from the reality of what is going in in yours. How long do you think it will be before NYC takes over the Murder capital of the nation position?

You keep buying that liberal message and rhetoric and keep living in the armpit of the country when it comes to the death of people from COVID 19. And oh by the way Houston has a Democratic Mayor and has had one since the 90's!! You may be one of the most poorly informed people I have met and that is saying a lot

Why have you 'highlighted' employment numbers for 2008? Barack Obama became president in January 2009, just as the recession was taking effect on employment. Why aren't you counting from Obama's low number in Dec 2009?

Then there's another small matter when you use total numbers - what was the change in population numbers for those who are employable from Dec 2009 to July 2020?

You keep ignoring results believing what someone says that doesn't match the results, Your city and suburbs are rapidly becoming a hellhole where results don't support your rhetoric. Flew right over your head about Houston being run by a Democrat since 1981 didn't it? doesn't fit your narrative.
