Media Bias

Interesting that at least per Rasmussen Trumps favorable/unfavorable matches Obama's at the end of his first year. 46/53.

Well yeah Obama took over when the economy was in the tank so....

That also seems a little generous for Trump, it’s a very conservative leaning poll, but of course Trump pimps the results of that one while dismissing any other ones as “fake”

Rasmussen relies heavily on landline calls for polling so their cross-reference of a community tends to be just what old people think. Election results I suppose are the only true indicator.

That's interesting. I have always looked at Rasmussen as fairly reliable.

Matty, I just found it interesting. Even in the Rasmussen poll the hate factor is incredibly high at 44% who strongly disapprove. So clearly the 46/53 isn't an amazing big time best ever poll - though once it hits Fox's headlines I am sure Trump will trumpet it and CNN will poo poo it.

And CNN has ignored it, so we are at Par.

Rasmussen calls itself most accurate pollster of 2016 | TheHill

They were most accurate among major pollsters with the 2016 election.

Yes, they were the most accurate for the Trump win, predicting Hillary winning by 2%. I imagine since they exclude cell phones with their methodology, anytime a Republican wins they will be more accurate than not.

They were near the least accurate for every other election (somewhat of a guess)

If you dont think Rasmussen leans republican with their way of doing polling, I have to assume you also think Fox News is fair and balanced.

(I think there is media bias on both sides ...)

Well ur point was to simply dismiss the poll bc it actually is supportive of the trump presidency and since day one of the trump presidency there has been been a well documented effort by the media not only to discredit the president but to spread false narrative that no one in the country is behind the president and there generally no positive support for this president.

The Rasmussen poll was the most accurate period. So what you should questioning is why were the others generally off and some way off when it comes to historic polling. ???

When you speak of a biased, inaccurate, false poll....BUT SUPPORTS a narrative you want and THE MEDIA wants...then you can see how it is easier to see the spread of misinformation.
