Back down to 41% today. They must have decided the President was getting rated too high and increased the number of RATS in the sample.
Ras polled 4.3% more rats...*At Rasmussen Reports, we adjust our party identification weighting targets each month based upon actual survey results from the previous 90 days. For the month of September, our partisan weighting targets are 37.0% Democrat, 32.7% Republican, and 30.2% unaffiliated. This represents a slight increase in the number of Democrats and unaffiliateds. The impact on the President’s Job Approval rating is less than a percentage point compared to data from the prior three months. See our monthly update on Partisan Trends.*
I know that most Americans didn't follow it closely, but the sudden "unexplained absence" of the background negativity is significant.
If the TV press was made up of honorable people, they would spend a full week explaining their own stupidity amd collusion with the DNC dingbats (which would still only amount to 10% of the time devoted to unethical Bush-bashing with this motherless club).
