As the election season enters its last week, President Trump is on the move, ahead of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Monday’s debut of the daily Rasmussen Reports head-to-head poll.
In its now daily White House Watch, Rasmussen has Trump at 48% and Biden at 47%, the latest sign that the election has tightened in the 11th hour.
What’s more, the pollster Trump prefers to follow and tout has his approval rating at 52%, a key factor to winning reelection. Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama were both at 50% when they edged out reelection victories.
The poll data showed Trump building an unusual coalition. For example, 27% of black people said they would choose the president if the election were held today. In 2016, he won 8% of the black vote.
Also, Trump is doing better with Republicans than Biden is with Democrats. Rasmussen said that 84% of Republicans would choose Trump, while 77% of Democrats would vote for Biden.

Didn’t Rasmussen have Biden up around 14 points less than a couple of weeks ago? Hopefully this is the last year for polling mania. It’s ridiculous.
“MSM will wait til Election Day or the day before”

Yes all the “Special Sauce” factors will be dropped starting on Wednesday to get a more accurate turnout model for Election Day...
The 12-16 point leads for Sleepy will drop to around 3%...gotta keep Joe in the lead or risk many DIMS not showing up next week...
Keep hope alive...
Based on my two millennial kids, I agree. They won't vote at all, and claim their friends aren't either. At least they aren't going Biden...they hate him.
However, their older sister and her son - my grandson - are both voting Trump. Maybe common sense just skipped one generation.
Just my gut feeling- Election day voting will be Trump 57-42.
I do not remember a single presidential election going back to at least 1976 when the polls didn’t “tighten” in the Republican’s favor the week before election day.
The only thing really tightening are leftists sphincters.
I love the Trump coalition. We need to continue building it. Many black Americans are conservative but have never had a reason to vote for a Republican. Trump is the reason.
Sorry to say, but Pence would *never* bring together this kind of coalition. He’s fine on the current ticket though.
The next R candidate needs to be Trump Jr, or Rand Paul, or Kristi Noem, or some combination thereof.

That is sheer nonsense!!!!!!
I wonder what the total would be if we omitted some 15 states, where there is no path to victory, such as NY, NJ, WA, CA.
84% won’t be enough to win.
That’s racist!!!
You think LESS than 84% of GOP voters are sticking with Trump? I don’t. Trump received 88% of GOP voters in 2016, according to exit polls. I don’t see that number dropping, certainly to less than 84%.
As Rush correctly says, “polling is meant to drive public opinion not reflect it.” True now more than ever.
IBD/TIPP changed their polling methodology... traditional polling is dead anyway....
Agreed, unless Biden getting only 77% of the DEM vote is true. Hillary received 89% of the DEM vote in 2016, while Trump received 88% of the GOP vote. My guess is Biden will top out in the low 80s and under-perform Hillary. I think Trump will hit the 88% mark from 2016.
You want to mess with your kids’ minds?
I just ordered my Trump 2024 hat.....
Get one and watch their little precious millennial heads explode!:^)
