Oh......and check this...first on Rasmussen which Drudge AND the President have been raving about (dont you wonder why polls are so important to this man)....

"Time magazine has described Rasmussen Reports as a "conservative-leaning polling group."[85] The Washington Post called Rasmussen a "polarizing pollster."[86] John Zogby said that Scott Rasmussen has a "conservative constituency."[87] The Center for Public Integrity listed "Scott Rasmussen Inc" as a paid consultant for the 2004 George W. Bush campaign.[88] The Washington Post reported that the 2004 Bush re-election campaign had used a feature on the Rasmussen Reports website that allowed customers to program their own polls, and that Rasmussen asserted that he had not written any of the questions nor assisted Republicans.[72]

Rasmussen has received criticism over the wording in its polls.[89][90] Asking a polling question with different wording can affect the results of the poll;[91] the commentators in question allege that the questions Rasmussen ask in polls are skewed in order to favor a specific response. For instance, when Rasmussen polled whether Republican voters thought Rush Limbaugh was the leader of their party, the specific question they asked was: "Agree or Disagree: 'Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party—he says jump and they say how high.'"[90]

Rasmussen Reports - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasmussen_Reports)

in addition....

"President Trump's approval rating remains stuck near the lowest point of his presidency, according to a host of polls released in the last several days.

Only 38 percent of Americans in a Gallup poll released Thursday said they approve of the president's job performance. Fifty-seven percent said they disapprove.

Similarly, the president's approval rating stood at 40 percent in a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday, while his disapproval rating stood at 56 percent.

"It has been a rough Friday morning for President Donald Trump. He fired off a pair of tweetstorms aiming his anger at investigators looking into his potential ties to Russia, the "fake news media" and, in general, the "phony Witch Hunt going on in America."

He has reason to be angry. Trump's support among Democrats and independents has long been pretty dismal—but now things are growing worse among his own party and the demographic groups that largely thrust him into the White House.

In just one month, the percentage of Republicans who thought America was heading in the right direction dropped a full 17 percentage points—from 58 percent in May to 41 percent in June—according to a Gallup survey released this week. Overall, just 24 percent of Americans are pleased with the direction the country is heading, the lowest point since July of last year when the figure plunged after a series of police-involved shootings.

There are other worrying signs for Trump. A survey released this week from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research​ poll found the president's support among Republicans—which is, of course, his own party—had plunged. The poll found that one-quarter of the GOP respondents now disapproved of the job Trump was doing, up from 20 percent the month prior

LOL you are dumb and your links are meaningless dated BS

Scott Rasmussen no longer owns Rasmussen polls
Rasmussen polls was the most accurate pollster during 2016 election
The reason you are dumb is you listen to CBS and Gallup, who told you Hillary was a lock to win

How's that working out for you?

Here's the deal.

I, personally have never put any trust in polls of any kind.

My responses, or responses actually, was a result of the President of the United States bragging and tweeting for getting to a 50% approval, which is desperately low.

You see, most would not be proud of that and he is which deserves a response.

Do not turn this thread or any mention of Trump ratings.

Most Americans don't give a crap. They want honesty, truth and progress,

Trump, and it appears you simply want some PERSONAL need fulfilled.

You can call me dumb I suppose...a trait of your ilk, but at least understand where this comes from. Pay attention, the world is passing by quickly.

Actually...the world is turning "dark"...brown people are the overwhelming majority outside Eastern Asia. 80% of the worlds population lives on less than $10 a day. There are also close to 9 billion people on this planet...how many can it support?

Why don't try something that is unheard of for Republicans support your statements with facts?

Rasmussen had Trump winning the popular vote by 3 points. He lost the popular vote. The other polls had Clinton winning the popular vote by 2/3%, which she did.

Rasmussen poll has Trump up by 3 (http://www.wnd.com/2016/10/rasmussen-delivers-post-debate-poll-triumph-for-trump/)

Read the article. Take a look at the last two paragraphs, it points out CNN as left leaning. However, not a word about Drudge reports leaning. The article also references Breitbart. How can anyone in their right mind look at this, and not think that it was written by a biased reporter?

Most polls have trump right now about 40%. Considering he had middle 40's in the election, what in the world has he done to increase his popularity? He hasn't passed any major legislation. He is under criminal investigation. The House's Obamacare care plan has 17% approval. Trump calls it "mean".

To say Trump is at 50% is a total joke.

Maybe Rasmussen only polled the 31 states that Trump won in the Electoral College?

I expect it will keep heading south as the facts warrant. Trump is very upset about something.

Well, we know for sure that they didn't poll the almost 3 MILLION more American citizens that voted for Hillary...over Trump. :D

Too bad that doesn't matter, Presidential votes are counted electorally. Don't like it? Change the constitution, good luck with that as most states controlled by Republicans.

Sucks to be you don't it? :MOJE_whot:

Well a popular president is about as useful as a pet rock.

I prefer my president's decisions be based with on the ground facts vis a vis popular among th hoi polli

I recall when jesse Ventura got elected as governor one of the first thing he did was return small amounts of tax money to residents referred to as "" jesse checks"
Ventura turned out to be a total disaster
