Ugh, two more polls show Trump's approval rate going up. WTF?

[democrattotheend]

Trump's approval rating jumped several points in two tracking polls, Politico/Morning Consult and Rasmussen. I know a lot of people don't consider Rasmussen a reliable pollster, but I still look at it for the trends. They are one of the few if not the only daily tracker now that Gallup stopped doing daily tracking.

Politico/Morning Consult 2/21 - 2/23 45% approve 52% disapprove
Politico/Morning Consult 2/23 - 2/23 42% approve 54% disapprove

Rasmussen Reports 2/19 - 2/23 49% approve 50% disapprove
Rasmussen Reports 2/20 - 2/24 52% approve 47% disapprove

Actually, after looking closer, it looks like Politico/MC did 2 different polls, one only on 2/23 and one from 2/21-2/23. The one only on 2/23 had a lower approval rating, but it was released first so it looked like his approval rating had jumped. Anyone know what the deal is with this poll? Both the one-day and three-day one were conducted online using similar sample sizes, and both with registered voters. Why do they have a one-day and a three-day covering the same period?

1. Jesus. How many times does this need to be said. These are RUSSIAN PSYOPS

Remember they're ramping up the voter suppression and using other strategies to keep DEMOCRATS from voting in the general. Yu don't do that if the polling was real.

2. Rasmussen is a GOP pollster

All of its polls are severely skewed in the party's favor.

3. Wait for them to check those 409s :) today.

Market down another 350 now.

4. They will make sure enough polls report enough bogus info

that when he screams "IT WAS RIGGED" his devoted cultists will be ready to respond to his orders.

5. look at the aggregates on 538 -- you will feel better.

Rasmussen is not a reliable pollster.

6. Rasmussen always runs GOP +5

their job is basically to encourage the Republican base ("look at this poll! see? a majority approves of our stupid idea!&quot

[Polybius]

9. That's still bad news

If Ras is running +5, that means he's 47% approval. Still crazy high.

10. high but not severely deviating from his norm

he's been pulling around 42-45% for the last couple years, which is still at least 40% too high imho
i'd bet a 47% result is within 2 standard deviations of average.

7. Russian Poll Manipulation

8. I haven't believed any of the polls in months.

11. As election nears, opinions will polarize. People who were not paying attention now picking sides.

12. The paid-for polls?

best to have a full-sized salt lick when you read that stuff.
