Wow 24% of GOP are #NeverTrumpers, RINOs, or watch no news at all. Would never have believed the percentage was that high.

I bet 76% is too low/24% is too high.

"After the surveys are completed, the raw data is processed through a weighting program...because different segments of the population answer the phone in different ways. For example, women answer the phone more than men, older people are home more and answer more than younger people, and rural residents typically answer the phone more frequently than urban residents."

Think about it...how many Trump supporters would answer their phone, and tell "a single, digitally-recorded, voice" how they feel about things?

It reads like Rasmussen keeps calling after hang-ups then re-weights the results. Thus, I strongly suspect the TRUE percentage of Trump supporters is higher.

The best take on this topic was Bill Burr on Conan, the night after the election. In the midst of a talk about how the polls were off, Bill said "...if you're any sort of a normal person, if just someone came walkin' up to you with a clipboard like 'hey, ah, who are you voting for President?' you'd be like 'hey, ah, none of your f***ing business.'"
