Voters Aren’t Swayed by Trump’s COVID Diagnosis
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 2020-10-07 | Rasmussen

Posted on 10/07/2020 11:03:05 AM PDT by OttawaFreeper

Voters strongly reject the idea of pushing back the election because of President Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis, with most saying the president’s illness will not influence their vote in any way.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 15% of Likely U.S. Voters say they are more likely to vote for Trump because he has tested positive for the coronavirus. Twenty-two percent (22%) say they are less likely to vote for him now, while 63% say the diagnosis will have no impact on their vote.

Okay, all of the babbling and carrying on over the 12 point lead that Biden supposedly has over Trump according to Rasmussen and then this. There seems to be some sort of disconnect to say the least.

By election day this will be old news. All people will remember is that the president and his staff tested positive a month ago and nobody got sick.

Yet on the other thread here about Trump being down 12 pts. in this same poll all of the reasoning is about COVID.

Something doesn’t add up.

Is Rasmussen still Rasmussen?
Is Drudge still Drudge?
Why is it so difficult to get a straight answer to these questions?

What changed? He was on the uptick and slightly leading with Rasmussen a day or two after the debate...now he’s down 12???

Did getting Covid sway 6% of the voters over to Sleepy?...Maybe?

Did taking his ride in the Beast while sick sway 6% of voters?...Maybe?

Did 6% of voters think he faked Covid?...Maybe?

Did pulling the plug on the Pelosi Covid funding charade sway 6%?...Maybe?

Does the lack of indictments by Barr/Durham in October sway 6% of the base?...Maybe?

Maybe, its is a combination of all these concerns...?

But, Maybe, just maybe this Rasmussen poll is a total outlier and Rasmussen has jumped on the MEDIA bandwagon to manufacturing a Trump collapse 4 weeks out...?

I believe this poll is bullcrap...!!!

What kind of sick person would be less likely to Trump because he had Covid?

Rasmussen reports is definitely no longer Scott Rasmussen.

See ScottRasmussen.com, not RasmussenReports.com, for Scott's own polls.

Uh this isn’t a disconnect with anything. Totally different and shows a negative effect for Trump.

I read not long ago that Hillary’s support from blacks and Hispanics was that good bit higher than those for Biden nowadays.
