Voter attitudes about President-elect Donald Trump have changed little since Thanksgiving, with just over half of voters continuing to give him favorable marks.

Call the BS media on their fake news. The good news is Trump will win and their ratings will go down
If they are admitting to 52%, it’s at least 60.
It will skyrocket today once America watching the scum of the Earth disrupting civility while exercising their snivel rights. Go Trump. **** the commies!
Rasmussen should start receiving death threats from the commie snowflakes in 3....2....1.
Landslide President Clinton thanks Ras for the accuracy of his polls.
For so long, the Petulants have been getting away with all of the direct threats that used to get people arrested or sued. With a new Justice Department about to grace We the People again, they will start to get those knocks on their doors at all kinds of hours if not from the FBI, but mostly from Serving Officers. This crap will stop in an incredibly quick fashion because the breadcrumbs to the source will be as easy to follow like a blind man finding a Hostess bakery at 4 in the morning.
They felt empowered after seeing the treatment of the Philadelphia New Black Panthers outside that polling place eight years ago.
A message was sent and received.

May be worth paying attention to Rasmussen again. (I've moved my bookmark up.)
Didn’t care about polls yesterday, don’t care about them today, won’t care about them tomorrow.
Polls are the Appeal To Majority Fallacy in individually-wrapped pieces.
Once America is great again do you think the media will raise the favorable rating to perhaps 55?.......
To the extent I pay attention to polls, when GHWB’s number reached 92% it was:
1) A fleeting moment in time at the start of Gulf War I ie an outlier
2) A fright for the DC press who never want to see a GOP president with that sort of approval and were determined not to let it happen again.
Bush 43, of course, was subjected to the self-fulfilling prophecy of ‘your polls are down’ in every presser which was a cue for sheep to give him a negative rating.
Clinton, on the other hand, was obsessed with inflating his poll numbers to make him feel better about his revolting sexual addiction. His primary concern after the Lewinsky news broke was not his wife or daughter or even his colleagues but merely his poll numbers (as Dick Morris chronicled).
The media will set the number and manipulate it any way they like. I can only hope that Trump ignores the polls but, more importantly, ignores the people telling him the polls matter.
You can’t trust any of these polls.
I don’t believe any polls, period...number one, with today’s communication methods (e.g. if someone calls your cell phone for a poll and you don’t recognize the number, do you answer it? No.) The polls have been absolutely wrong about everything. The only people that believe polls are when they agree with their own thinking and attitudes, so why waste time even reading them? I could not care less about what pollsters conclude - they are paid by the people that want certain results.
Well I don’t trust Ras period. It seems as though they did this before the last debate. He was up above 50, like 53, and then the next poll it was 44. But needless to say, October 1st seems like it was a million years ago and only Trump could whether that storm.
Thanks...
I didn’t remember saying this recently.
This from 01/19/17.
I could say something very close to that today.
Same thing...
Gallup's polling accuracy, good or bad, doesn't seem to factor into the overall picture of their reelection data since 1948 that shows the importance of a POTUS job approval rating of 50% or greater for reelection. Presidential job approval ratings are the only polling data that I usually pay any attention to.
