A president with a 51% Approval Rating is in their way to victory.

Only if the approval rating is in a long-standing, credible poll whose history can be correlated to Presidential elections for the past several cycles.

The Rasmussen poll is none of those.

I think this is a case of conservatives cherry picking one poll with a short history and dubious credibility that shows Trump doing well, while ignoring a large number of other polls that show him well behind in a 2-way race. We should be more savvy than that.

Are you old enough to remember what happened in ‘16?

Do you remember what the polls said and what his approval numbers were during that campaign?

All of a sudden the polls showing him losing are going to be accurate?

None of these polls are picking up his surge in battleground states, nor his much improved approval ratings among black voters. They do not account for the “shy” trump voter or the voter who says “I’m for Biden!” who then secretly votes Trump.

Most of these polls are—I believe—rigged to pump up the Biden crowd to make him look like a winner. Does he look like a winner? Any more than Bob Dole looked like one?

LOL, troll.

In 2016, Rasmussen was one of a very few who was accurate.
