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.
