Seems to be trouble in river city and its not spelled P _ O _ O _ L. Its spelled TRUMP.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports®

Of late we have seen several public opinion polls of support for Trump average in the 39 and 40 percent mark. Now Rasmussen comes in at 44 and the normal rule of thumb is to take five points off because of their pro-Trump bias that is reflected in their methodology which is radically different than most other national polling organizations and is designed to produce a higher support number.

When you take the normal Ras discount - it comes in right where the other polls have had Trump of late.... as low as 36 in IBD/TIPP, 38 from Emerson and up to 41 in Gallup with several others in between and that is not good for the upcoming mid terms for Republicans.

Yawn...

Some people swear by polls, some people swear at polls. Some people don't care.
 
Loser

So?

You still lost, we're still getting another justice, maybe more. The 2A is safe from the likes of you for generations now.
 
Every time I post a poll from Rasmussen Daily tracking poll I get a barrage of response attacking their methods of polling.
So what is it? Funny when the poll is lower it's OK..... they are doing a good job. Oh look how low it is. While giggling.....
You can't have both ways!

Put this in context, Take a look at Obama's lowest polling which was 38%. (9-05-14) and don't forget Carter at 28 (06/26/79, 10/02/79)

When Trump is under 45 EVEN ON Rasmussen, there is trouble in River City.


Rasmussen is the one he brags about when it goes back up to 50 ... because a mere 50 of Rasmussen is all this approval-hungry Trump can get. And now even Rasmussen has him way down in the weeds. Obama spent plenty of time above 50.

Even with the "booming" economy, Trump is so nasty he can't get his head above water.

If he weren't such a big baby he would be enjoying good ratings, but he has tied anchors around his feet and is stuck on the bottom and crying about how mean people are to him.

The hypocrisy is intentional, haymarket always engages in Alinsky tactics.

The entirety of U.S. government boiled down to fear of people taking guns from you?

I like seeing it spelled out like that. I think that's worse than Trump.

Given the potential for violence against Trump supporters, how many people are going to either not check the box or not tell the truth. You cannot be sure you answers will not be made public and put you at risk.

This is not your grandfathers America anymore. It's politics by intimidation.

Do you not know the difference between an election which involves people going to the polls and public opinion polls?

Thats okay as Rasmussen apparently does not know the difference either and its suppose to be their line of work.

Yeah, sure, the reason Trump can't keep it up even on Rasmussen is fear of violent reprisals.

But in a week or so or whenever Trump squeaks back up to 48%, it will be because 4% more of America found their nerve again and said "to heck with the consequences".

*giggle*

We shall see. The Kavanaugh hearings are a very public glimpse of governance under the democrats. Everyone is on the wrong side of one faction or another, and the result is that someone is going to be in your face at home, at work, or in public as Sarah Sanders and others have found out the hard way.

I find it difficult to believe people will vote "against" their pocket books and "for" chaos and intimidation along with a return to Economic malaise. But hey. Call me crazy. I've been wrong before.

People who voted for Trump voted for chaos. Most didn't know at the time how much chaos.

He was an unknown quantity. They said, "Let's see what he can do." Now they know what he can do. He's used up the "Lets give him a chance card".

Now they know how much chaos.

So, yeah, I too find it difficult to believe that people will vote for chaos. (And for Trump's assaults on the first amendment and for trade wars decimating businesses and so on.)

But hey. Call me crazy. I've been wrong before.

Very few "polls" are all that accurate or mean a whole lot. Hence my comment on the only polls that actually mean as anything in the real world. As for trump, his ratings are and have been always the same give or take 5%, same people that elected him still support him and no matter what I doubt that will change. As for November and 2020, that is the opportunity for the other approximately 60% of voters to make their voice heard. We get the government we deserve.

You are free to believe that. For all Trump's rhetoric, I don't think he really cares about polls.

Of course he does, otherwise he wouldn't be blabbing about them at rallies when the numbers are in his favor.

Just an FY, most people don't know or give a **** who Alinsky is, so your comment has no effect whatsoever.

Yeah, right.

Trump supporters are not the least bit shy about being LOUD AND PROUD about their support for Trump, so I don't buy this excuse at all.

His approval is in free fall because independents are breaking for Dems in mass numbers.

It's not just Trump personality - though that plays a part in his horrible numbers.

He's simply a failed experiment to the 57-63% broader public, whom find him to be dishonest, incompetent, crooked, cruel, and just way in over his head as president.

His minority base can pout and insist all day that they are the majority, but they results in primary ballots, special elections, and surveys show this isn't the case. Come November they'll have to face this reality (kicking and screaming), whether it result from a bare majority win for the Democrats, or a blue wave that wipes them out across the country.

Only the politically ignorant, I do not concern myself with effecting such people. Nor do I dismissive people.

Logical Fallacy: Appeal to population

Oh the irony.

He calls other people that don't recognize his conservative dog whistles ignorant and dismisses them, then proceeds to claim he doesn't dismiss people.

Adding insult to injury, he accuses me of committing the bandwagon fallacy, when I never even made an argument. I simply stated as a matter of fact that most people have no idea who Alinsky is - which is entirely true.

Please, stop taking philosophy notes from Peterson, he doesn't know what's he's doing.
