It's just screwy that Rasmussen is out openly trolling other pollsters for not releasing their data when his own survey has Trump at a relatively low water mark of 47% approval and 51% disapproval.

What is going on? How is Trump DOWN several points after a great convention and a mostly favourable (for him) news cycle these last 2 weeks?

And what ground does Scott Rasmussen have to stand on accusing other national pollsters of embargoing their data when his own data doesn't reflect any meaningful change in Trump's favour?

It’s possible some portion of his disapproval stems from handling the riots. Some “disapprove” of NOT sending in the national guard with lethal rounds loaded.

These people aren’t voting for Biden.

Scott doesn't work for them any longer.

BTW, 47% approval is a good number. Plus, minus a few points doesnt matter.

Political Polling is a close cousin of Voodoo.

I dont understand why anyone tries to make sense of the polls at this point. My eyes and ears tell me far more than some skewed and bogus poll.

No one bought the whole theme of the GOP convention and it likely turned off the hardest of the base. It was a weird tact by the GOP and in hindsight a huge misfire.

As other polls have come out it’s clear he didn’t get much bounce if any.

Maybe voters in the US are pretty entrenched at this point and things like the DNC and RNC don't do much to change people's minds, particular those that respond to political polls.

I don't think Trump had 47% approval 4 years ago.

Obama averaged 47% and he was Black Jesus. So 47% ain’t bad.

Let me guess, they asked:

39% Democrat
32% Republican
29% Independent (mostly from San Francisco)

I was disappointed in that number also. Emerson had better numbers with 49% approval vs 47% unapproved.

If the approval numbers are fairy even or above the unapproved he wins for sure, easy. His turnout will be heavier.

I do not see Trump ever going above the 51% he got recently. Obviously that was atypical. He could run in to a burning building and remove 15 black children and his approval would inch up one point.

Shocking to me that anybody with a functioning brain would vote for Biden.

Rasmussen is a daily tracking poll. Due to MOE it sometimes will show slightly different results than another pollster who did a poll that day.

47% is within the MOE of the 49% Emerson poll. Stop worrying

Is this a poll about who they are voting for or a poll about policy?

I disagree with Trunp's handling of some issues, most notably his spending, and his capitulation to the DEMS, who will always ask for the moon, when in reality, they use that to get what they really want.

If the poll is "who are you voting for?" I think this number is low by at least 7 points.
