I for MANY MANY years (and as recently as last week), get to this Rasmussen approval poll by typing in "presidential tracking poll" into the google search. Usually before I finish typing the first word "presidential" in the type ahead search box I will see "presidential tracking poll" as one of the first 5 options... This week Google has completely removed it as an early type ahead search option.

When I type "presidential t" I get instead now, "presidential traverse" and "presidential term limits"

Should read “Presidential Approval Index rating of zero for the first time since 3 and a half weeks into his presidency”

Either Rasmussen is yanking everyone’s chain, or else that ‘blue wave’ is not likely to be very tall.

I’m not sure, I appear to get that prompt.

Could it be you have recently typed a significant number of searches, and your search bar just has more information to return, so it does not prompt quite as quickly?

I am completely supportive of your suspicions of a general left wing slant in MUCH of our various media alternatives, but there might be another explanation for this one.

Maybe...

Also:

The latest figures include 38% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 38% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of zero (0). (see trends).

This is Trump’s highest Presidential Approval Index rating since early February of last year, shortly after he first took office. By comparison, Barack Obama earned a presidential approval index rating of -12 on October 8, 2010, in the second year of his presidency.

You are not alone. I have noticed a similar phenomena recently with my frequent search terms seemingly edited in what appear to be leaving terms that lead to links to conservative sites strangely absent. It is more of an annoyance than a hindrance.

The presidential approval polls are rigged. They were biased in favor of Obama and against Trump.

One good way to check this bias is to compare presidential approval with the question about whether the country is going in the right direction or the wrong direction.

People who say the country is going in the right direction should approve of the president. Wrong direction should disapprove.

If not, something is wrong.

Presidential Approval Index rating of zero for the first time since (Obama was -12 at this time). This is the best for Trump since 3.5 weeks into his presidency. Trump is +4 right now and Obama was -5 at this time.

So which is it? Obama -12 or Obama -5? Article seems to say both. Sloppy journalism as usual.

Trump's approval is almost certainly understated. Mainstream media has a vested interest in suppressing Trump's true approval rating. They really are committed to having Trump fail and so they must really be gritting their teeth just putting out these numbers.

When I typed “presidential” into Google, not using the “Type-ahead” feature, which I detest, “presidential approval ratings” was the 4th choice in the drop-down, and when that was selected, the Rasmussen Poll was what popped up.

Don’t go looking for a Google conspiracy; there are plenty clearly on display.

Google is full on communist censorship these days. They really do desire a Stalinist government. How else are they gonna be able to deploy their crack-pot utopian socialist society except by fervently trying to keep the people indoctrinated with only one view point?

Google, Facebook, Twiiter and such always have their back-up excuse; “We’re a private company and we can be as biased as we wish”

Google is part of the Deep State - #FakeNewsMedia - international socialist movement to oppose the duly elected President of the United States? I’m shocked! Shocked, I say!
