in a polling business, nor any particular animus towards 538.

What the Trump era has taught us is there can never be enough push back against lies.

drops by a whopping 0.1 to 0.4%, depending on the day.

Not only that, but Biden just tied his all time high (average) yesterday with multiple Rasmussen polls in the mix.

They are full of the sort of 'black is white' lies, that Rasmussen Reports publish for prominence and profit on RW media.

So is insisting that they're liars because they include a poll you don't like.

Rasmussen isn't posting false information. Their polls are based on their samples, which have a rightward bias.

Also, claiming that 538 is showing Biden underwater is blatantly false. If you're looking for clear lies, there's one.
