I don’t trust Rasmussen. The week before his Convention, they had Trump at 52%. Then during the week of his Convention, they had him at 46%.

I noticed that too. Made absolutely no sense.

The Rasmussen Poll has always had weird blips. Let’s hope this is just another one of them. The next week should show one way or the other.

Well, they change the rules, refuse to let him even tweet out a message
On the other side they just cover everything for Biden. Trump is not a quitter. He will find a way but he’s got everything going against him. God willing he can still pull it off

I cannot believe that there are people who actually believe that Biden would make a good President. What leadership qualities has he ever shown?

***************

The Left doesn’t care about leadership because real leadership means proactively managing problems, making difficult choices, and preparing for the future. Most Americans don’t really care about that; they only care about ideology IMO.

You look at the polls like this and it is easy to get down, but then you see the early voting results for Florida and North Carolina and things look up again. I’m not sure about PA, but I do believe Michigan goes Trump and most of the rest follow suit. For the record, I don’t believe either candidate believes these numbers, but it does show a sway. I’m not sure how you could say your going to vote for Trump after everything going on the last 6 months, and then change your mind based on a ride to see your supporters.

This is why the left wants to destroy the Electoral College.

The debate and Trump seemingly not taking his own infection seriously could be it.

Breitbart famously stated: “politics is downstream from culture.” Look at the culture of our western civilization. It is sick, depraved and self-destructive. It is only a matter of time before we begin the collapse. I was hoping to have checked out long before that happened. But the decline is proceeding more rapidly than I ever imagined.

If this poll is an honest indicator, then we must accept that we are in deep trouble. We have become a stupid nation, educated in warped schools and informed by a malevolent media.

Trump has been a Godsend for us, but he is one man.

I pray Rasmussen is wrong.

Last paragraph of the "methodology" link.

Rasmussen Reports determines its partisan weighting targets through a dynamic weighting system that takes into account the state’s voting history, national trends, and recent polling in a particular state or geographic area.

It's all Bullsh*t.

Are you normally in the habit of posting Fake Polls in Breaking News?

So unless you believe as an article of faith, as gospel, that Trump will win (in a landslide, no less), you’re a sissy?

There was a real chance of Clinton winning in 2016. There’s a real chance of Biden winning in 2020. Many voters are uninformed. I know gun owners that voted for Clinton. The vast majority of Americans don’t have the clear, concise knowledge that we do of where the candidates and parties stand on each issue and how that will affect the country.

Someone might watch the debate and decide Biden seems more tolerable in his demeanor. They walk into a gun store in August 2022 and are surprised, irritated even, to find no AR15s on the rack. However, they do not connect their vote to the disappearance of MSRs from their local shop.

I believe the poll is accurate..It is a snap shot of the moment. It is also a snapshot who is going to show up to the polls at this time. This composition will change hopefully as we get closer and he can make some better arguements and unloads some of his ad money etc...

They are liberals who are on this site here to cause trouble and misery. I would ignore them along with the poll.

Is there a point where National margins start to indicate a trend? Obviously Biden will win by millions of votes in California and New York, but I don’t know if those states are enough to register a 12-point lead.

A 12pt Biden win is the equivalent of roughly 15 million votes. That's the combined population of the entire states of Michigan and Massachusetts. If that is true then this would be a massive wipeout electorally. I'm not buying it, there probably has been a temporary shift due to Trump's Covid diagnosis...people think he's not taking the pandemic seriously.

He needs to tighten that up, sure the bravado is fine with me and people of our ilk, but the nervous nellies across the country (and the seniors) are so panicked and they don't like the flaunting of non-maskers. These polls are meant to demoralize Trump voters, and quite honestly it is unnerving to see these polls. But I believe the polls will show tightening in the next 3 weeks and Trump pulls it out in the end.

And yet a poll just out shows President Trump with a 12% lead in CD-2 in Maine. Another poll shows Trump way ahead in Florida.

Two co-workers and Trump supporters say the optics the past ten days are bad - debate chaos, his catching covid-19, and then his appearance on the WH balcony followed by his statement (which many say was too boisterous and non-empathetic toward other covid victims). They say he’s his own worst enemy. Maybe that’s why Trump’s been tweeting (good ones) and not appearing (so far) today.

“I cannot believe there are still people who don’t understand this.”

12 points, if real, just about ensures an Electoral College victory.

Rasmussen protocols have been generally well respected on FR.

And anyone who thinks POTUS has gained ground since the debate is not paying attention.

Also the Barrett confirmation will do a lot to take the focus off of this. I would consider this the ‘low’ point of polling, which is roughly around the same timeframe as the ‘pop her in the pu$$y’ tape.
