Rasmussen is really the only one you can trust, everyone else was so far off with the election and how they weight their variables. Rasmussen has been doing it for 20 years and it was almost the same as the other two major approval rate polls during the entire Obama presidency. Plus rasmussen has not changed their methodology, while Pew and Gallup both have.

The Pew survey had three times the number of people polled as Rasmussen and the Gallup Poll matched the Pew Survey very closely.
It doesn't matter how many people are polled if the assumptions applied to the numbers are skewed.

Thanks for the input dave, but the average poll numbers look like the way to go. Kind of like the Olympics you know, through out the high and the low and average the remaining scores. Beside, if he does a good job the numbers will go up, if not they go down. Simple as that and it's too early to really matter, kind of like pre-season football polls. Only worth arguing about, nothing more.

Where those the same polls giving Hillary a 98% chance of winning? After that debacle, are you still trust polls?

I don't like your poll from one of the most respected polling sites so I'm going to cherry pick another poll to suit my agenda!


Heeeyawww!!!
