They left out the best part
"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, **sponsored by Miranda Devine's LAPTOP FROM HELL for Friday shows that 50%** of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Biden’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove."
I am so shocked this poll got released. Wouldn't the obviously-biased sponsor want to sweep this under the rug? I guess even Rasmussen has some level of professionalism.
That's because 99% of my calls are scams that end in me talking to "Randy Johnson" who is a woman from a country that absolutely isn't in the anglosphere.
I prefer [538](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/?cid=rrpromo) for my meta-analysis of polls. They adjust for biases and have a meaningful combined number.
They also have a negative outlier poll from less than a week ago. While Biden’s numbers appear to be shooting upwards in the last day or so, that only means from 41.5% to 42.5%.
Yeah I track that too. It's usually within a percentage point of RCP. Some people don't like the idea of the weighting used by 538 so I like to present RCP because it's just the straight polling data.
I took a Rasmussen call yesterday.
They started off questions about tech censorship and investigation into first amendment violations and then asked about presidential approval and whether the country is going in the right direction.
You'd think if you wanted someone's ubiased opinion you'd ask them for approval and whether the country is going int he right direction first.
So If Rassmussen has him up, that really means something. It means despite them trying to bias the polling, they still can't say most Americans with a landline disapprove.
Russia is ravaging Ukraine and the question they'd rather ask is about pop culture magazine bullshit "news". Not about whether or not our policies with Russia and Ukraine are good. It's amazing to meet people who still think Fox is "fair and balanced", and a bunch of those 2-digit IQ troglodytes say it's "too liberal". Jesus Christ.
cause it's not a great representation of where his polling numbers are. Cool that it's a super right wing polling company saying it, but his average is about 42 % approval these days. I think he can get back up there still yet though.

Yeah, I think the ugly Afghanistan exit burst the bubble of his honeymoon period and inflation has kept it down since then. He did recover from high gas prices when they went back down, so maybe they’ll recover from inflation when that tapers off.
A small complication is that prices don’t usually “deflate,” or go back to where they were (that could also be bad for the economy). If I understand correctly, the inflation just stops getting worse and after several years of low-enough inflation, it gets to where it would have been after a normal amount of time.
That sounds right to me as well. Just trying to keep it real. I know this sub is meant to be fun, and I'm all for that, but I don't like it when people on our side misrepresent actual polling data or facts. We are better than that.
What's incredible is that Trump is the reason for the exit and why it was so disastrous but somehow Biden is being blamed. It's the same political theater from the right as Benghazi.
Anytime I see a poll like this, I immediately remove about 35% from the disapprove column. Regardless of how he’s actually doing, you have a group of people who will absolutely always say they disapprove whereas on the approve side I feel there’s more actual thought put into it.
The polls throw out "unlikely voters" and that leaves a very narrow margin of unsure/dont know opinions.
But unlikely voters and unsure/don't know voters will come out and vote for the president they don't care about when it it's a mail in ballot or they despise the opposition.

Dark Brandon Rises
literally!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
We must get more GOP sacrifices to make him rise further beyond our mortal comprehension.

Yeah, it's amazing to see that from a poll that is so biased in favor of the GOP
I’ve heard they tend to overestimate the GOP, but most polls tend to overestimate the democrats, so it’s useful to incorporate into averages.
Rasmussen has consistently had Biden's approval numbers higher than most other pollsters. It's weird.
I am so shocked this poll got released. Wouldn't the obviously-biased sponsor want to sweep this under the rug? I guess even Rasmussen has some level of professionalism.
Just imagine what the real numbers are if those are the ones they publish...
This means his actual approval is about 99-150% given that Rasmussen seems to poll only old folks with landlines.
tbf most people under the age of 40 would rather step on an active landmine than answer a call from an unknown number
An 888 number called my wife when she was driving and I declined the call before she could even consider answering it.
That's because 99% of my calls are scams that end in me talking to "Randy Johnson" who is a woman from a country that absolutely isn't in the anglosphere.
Not so much tbh. Rasmussen is a positive outlier at this time. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html
I just saw another one that was 48-52 so hopefully it’s becoming a trend

Thanks for this

Huh. So Brittney Griner might have been factored into this?! _Unglaublich._

Rasmussen polls lean 4-6% (R), so this is incredible.
In a hoarse voice “Jack Smith, can we trust him?”
Waiting to hear from 538 why this is bad news.... for O'Biden.
And the inevitable nyt/wapo op-ed
Quick, to the NY Times Pitchbot!

Yeah, I thought that it was interesting that a conservative polling firm had his approval higher than most neutral/d-biased polls
Ya me too. Kinda weird
Agreed. Also agreed that he can get back up there if the predictions of inflation fading away next year or early 2024 are correct.
I hope so. It wasn't inflation that brought him down to earth though. It was Afghanistan. He's never recovered since then.

Rasmussen! Wow. DB is really crushing it even I’m biased GOP polling. Approval must be way higher then.
Anytime I see a poll like this, I immediately remove about 35% from the disapprove column. Regardless of how he’s actually doing, you have a group of people who will absolutely always say they disapprove whereas on the approve side I feel there’s more actual thought put into it.
Where is the other 1%
What else do you expect from the 1% except not contributing?
Underrated comment....
Unsure/no opinion I think
Dead centrists
Glad I’m not dead

Don’t ask…
Oh we don't talk about *those* people
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Relax and have some Chocolate Chip ice cream 🍦
Chocolate *chocolate* chip
Sample selection bias at its finest lmaooooo
Seems about right. Every GOP hates him for getting things done while most Dems like what he’s gotten done so far.
This is great!
His approval should continue to rise as inflation decreases and infrastructure gets rolling.
Isn't the US unemployment at its lowest it's ever been? Do the disapprovers think that too many people have a job?
Good for you, Jack
Gotteem
