My Portfolio says HELLO!
Trump continues to put up impressive approval numbers.
Democrats have no message and they are the party of lies and deceit.
Mid terms will be interesting. Democrats better pivot to the middle if they want any chance at being competitive.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has improved slightly since the end of April due in part to a lower-than-usual volume of new polls. But that trend reversed over the past few days. He’s 14 points underwater in the latest American Research Group poll, 5 points underwater in the latest Civiqs poll, and 8 points underwater in the latest YouGov/Economist poll. But overall, most pollsters show little change in Trump’s approval rating over the last month.Where does that leave the average? Trump ends the week with a net approval rating of -5. That’s down from -4.3 earlier this week, but still better than his low of -9.7 on April 29th. -EMD, 5/23/25

"Rasmussen Reports' credibility as a polling organization has been a subject of debate, with its accuracy and bias drawing significant scrutiny, particularly in recent years. Here's a breakdown:
Bias:
- Generally considered right-leaning:Ad Fontes Media rates Rasmussen Reports as "Strong Right" in terms of bias. Many analyses, including those by FiveThirtyEight, have noted a "house effect" in Rasmussen's polls that tends to favor Republican candidates.
- Question wording concerns: Critics have pointed out that Rasmussen's question wording can sometimes be designed to elicit responses that support conservative viewpoints.
- Embracing false claims: In recent years, Rasmussen has been criticized for promoting right-wing conspiracy theories, especially concerning topics like COVID-19 vaccines and election results. This has led to concerns that it has transitioned from a public opinion quantifier to a "purveyor of propaganda."
- Mixed track record:Rasmussen had a strong reputation for accuracy in earlier presidential elections (e.g., 2004 and 2008). In the 2016 election, Real Clear Politics noted Rasmussen as having the second-most accurate poll for electoral college results and the most accurate for popular vote results.
- Declining accuracy and exclusion from major aggregators:However, its accuracy has been questioned in more recent elections. FiveThirtyEight, a prominent poll aggregator, dropped Rasmussen from its polling averages and analysis in 2024, citing its failure to meet updated standards for pollsters. In 2010, FiveThirtyEight concluded that Rasmussen's polls were the least accurate among major pollsters, with a pro-Republican bias.
- Methodology concerns:Rasmussen utilizes a combination of automated telephone inquiries (robocalls) and online surveys. Automated polling methods have been observed to sometimes favor Republicans compared to live interviewer polls. Rasmussen is also not a member of the National Council on Public Polls or a supporter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research's Transparency Initiative.
- Problematic data and questionable reporting: Instances of questionable data reporting (e.g., percentages adding up to over 100%) and polls released months after an election claiming to reflect voter sentiment at the time have been noted.
While Rasmussen Reports has had periods of accurate polling, its more recent history is marked by a strong partisan bias, concerns about its methodology and question wording, and a willingness to engage with or promote content that aligns with right-wing narratives, including misinformation. As a result, its credibility has significantly diminished in the eyes of many independent polling analysis organizations.

Very weak sauce as usual. Rasmussen is professional and one of the best. Your main deal is just attack the messenger.
I gave you the results of multiple messengers from two different poll aggregators but you only pay attention to one messenger. Very weak sauce to dismiss the other messengers. It's almost like you only care about the ones that say what you want to hear.
Really? You of all people talking about credibility.....lmao"Rasmussen Reports' credibility as a polling organization has been a subject of debate, with its accuracy and bias drawing significant scrutiny, particularly in recent years. Here's a breakdown:

Shows how pathetically stupid you are. This is AI talking about credibility, hence the quote marks, you ignorant waste of space.
Pretty much wrong on every measure so far.
