Rasmussen has been bought out and now is part to the lame stream media run by the democrats. This is just more click bait

Is Rasmussen a liberal poll?? If so, this is great news, to see things moving in the right direction.

Some polls are so far off, such as the NBC poll showing HIllary being up by 14 points, that’s it is hard to know if we can believe polls.

So that’s why I ask if anyone knows if Rasmussen leans liberal.

Pre-debate events.

Sexgate hasn’t boosted Hillary’s lead, which is now well within the MOE.

GOP coup plotters now look even more stupid.

Rasmussen has had a pro-Trump house effect this cycle, had him up by 5 or 6 in the third week of September, more than most others at that time.

Only polls that matter are battleground state polls.

FR is a bit slow today so it’s understandable.

Johnson is not getting 7% of the vote, and Stein is not getting 2% of the vote. The two combined will be less than 3% (all 3rd party votes less than 3.5%). That’s 6% of this poll slotted for the wrong candidate plus the 5% undecided plus the bogus polling method.

If the election is seriously over, why can’t Hillary put the race away?

The Clinton media is the only reason why she has a pulse.

If it wasn’t for all the positive wall to wall coverage she’s been getting, the polls would look very different.

And they’re starting to move closer to reality.

I haven’t seen many of those rolled out lately. They must not look good for Dems?

Rasmussen was historically a GOP-affiliated pollster, and probably still consults mostly with GOP candidates. So their polls are viewed as GOP-leaning.

That might have been true before Rasmussen himself left the service.

Why do you suppose that NO POLLS post their internals anymore??? I always look to see the percentages of Dems/Repubs/Indies.....but they are never there anymore.

In most cases, I don’t even trust the internals of these polls. It’s so easy to manipulate the input to produce whatever favorable result you want.
