Rasmussen Blows the Whistle on “National Poll Suppression” as Trump Closes the Gap
Red State ^ | 08/31/2020 | Brandon Morse

President Donald Trump is overtaking Joe Biden, but you’d never know that because the polls containing this information are being hidden.

According to Rasmussen, one of America’s most popular polling firms, there is actual evidence pointing to the fact that Trump is doing far better than the media portray but this is being withheld from the public.

Rasmussen posted a screenshot of Real Clear Politics polling averages. Normally, these are updated every week and without fail, but as of this moment, they’re still showing older numbers.

OK folks, no joke, this is now a national poll suppression story.

Twitter user “@furioustheguy” noted that the numbers that came out later than the 25th seem to be missing completely.

From August 1-15 there were 16 polls that came out. From August 16-31 there have been only 8 and none covering a later date than the 25th. pic.twitter.com/x5My6ra7Mw

Recent numbers have shown that Trump is doing far better than you’d think. An Express poll has Trump in a three-point lead. Rasmussen has a survey that shows Trump is just one point shy of overtaking Biden. The Trafalgar Group, famous for accurately showing Trump’s lead in Michigan in 2016 and one of the only to accurately predict Trump’s victory back then, also shows Trump above Biden by a substantial number.

Our new @trafalgar_group #2020Election #MO #poll conducted Aug 26-28 shows a comfortable Trump lead:
51.9% @realDonaldTrump,
41.2% @JoeBiden,
2.4% @Jorgensen4POTUS,
1.2% Another Party Candidate, 3.2% Und. See Report: https://t.co/n7noNNbpHC pic.twitter.com/bwI7BldjcL

The gap is closing between the two but totals are being left out that cover this.

Trump’s numbers are on the rise, even in voting blocs like the black community where Trump has experienced a nine-point rise.

Meanwhile, Democrat-supported things such as Black Lives Matter have experienced a massive drop. Support for Black Lives Matter in the swing state of Wisconsin plummeted from 25 to zero in approval. This is troubling news for Democrats who have made Black Lives Matter central to their campaign strategy.

Democrats need to be extremely concerned about what's happening in Wisconsin, where support for BLM has gone from +25 to +0 in 2 months. https://t.co/2wNMWoW6it

If there’s a reason behind these withholding of the totals then this hasn’t been revealed but many are speculating that the reasoning has to do with the media not wanting to reveal Trump’s popularity bump he experienced since his speech.

A successful and popular Trump is a narrative disaster and so these numbers can’t be discussed according to some. While this may very well be true, protecting the narrative may come at a cost as Democrats who believe that everything is still in the bag for Biden may end up staying home.

Regardless, this omission seems to be a big one.

Question:IF Dems are paying for the polls——are the polling companies honest enough to tell them that Trump is winning?

Or honest enough to poll across the board with registered voters???

Seems to me they would try to sugarcoat everything to keep getting paid.

I never answer polling questions because I live in the People’s Republic of California, where Jack the Ripper could get elected governor if he ran as a Dem.

And the media wonders why they’re not trusted.

If Trump actually carries New York he will carry Virginia and probably Colorado.

Not sure if the map is accurate. Latest poll shows Biden with a huge lead over Trump in New Mexico, well beyond the margin of error.

From the map: New York for Trump? It’s nice to dream!

I guess you haven’t read the methodology. It has nothing whatsoever to do with polls.

The Primary Model predicted on March 7, 2016 that Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton with 87 percent certainty.

The PRIMARY MODEL gives President Donald Trump a 91% chance of winning the 2020 presidential election, with Democrat Joe Biden having just a 9% chance.
