Stop believing Rasmussen when it's convenient. [View all]

Several people have touted the fact that Trump's approval is down in Rasmussen.
Here's the problem with that
When Rasmussen decides to pretend Trump is recovering, you will have to whine about how the Rasmussen poll is unreliable and biased (which it is).

Very soon, Rasmussen will receive angry email from its predominantly conservative subscribers, demanding that the pollster "get it right".
Rasmussen will not wish to lose revenue and will bring Trump back up to 50%.
Just don't make Rasmussen famous.

The point is that even a pro-Trump outlier poll has to admit his trend is downward. tblue37 Jan 2019 #10
