Ridgewood NJ, in the most recent Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
This is the first time the president’s overall approval rating has been back in the 50s in nearly a month. Just after his inauguration, Trump’s job approval peaked at 59% and remained in the 50s every day until early March. It’s gone as low as 42% since then.
The latest figures for Trump include 30% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 39% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -9.
Rasmussen Have always been a bit sketchy. They do not follow normal polling science.
They do not call cell phones – omitting younger Americans
They use automated voice rather than a real person, who waits for an automated voice?
They use a voter file rather than a random sample
wrong most accurate polling of 2016
Alternate truth with alternate polls
By what measure are they most accurate? Do you need one acurate poll to make the list?

Normal polling science as well as most talking heads boned the election and numerous primaries…
Psmith. So is polling science just another science that Republicans don’t follow?
Do we stop polling or work to make it better?
the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll was the most accurate during the previous election cycle period , you make not like the results but it is what it is , most polling since the 2000 election has been terrible and totally bias , Rasmussen however this past cycle called it .
I.. of course you make it ideological…no surprise there….. if anyone called it correctly, especially in the firewall states, it was Michael Moore… and he was ridiculed for it and derided as a traitor…. Pollsters have had a rough ride for several cycles, similar to Neilsen ratings trying to deal with changing TV habits over the last 2 decades… they make a bundle from polling, they need to earn their cash by coming up with ways to more accurately measure or new organizations will come up with a better way and disenfranchise them…
Love the “INJURY ATTORNEY” sign behind the Trump one.
Love nutty peesmith citing Michael Moore
Doubt can certainly be cast over Rasmussen’s methods but no one should be throwing a parade over a 50% rating. Once the smoke clears from the bombsings, the emperor will still have no clothes.
I guess asshole 3:25 doesn’t get it. By the way, the opposite end of the spectrum got it wrong in 2012 too (think Karl Rove on election nite)…. It’s not ideological, it’s extremist ignorance as in both kumbaya corners listen to nothing except to what they agree with…
unhinged nuch psmith?
no, not “nuch” 1126…. how about you? facts are abhorrent?
