The reason we shouldn’t trust poll numbers is because the outfits running them are often biased. The news is filled with citations from a recent poll by the Wall Street Journal, that bastion of impartiality. Turns out, they included 600 GOP primary voters in their sample, and it was run by an outfit called Fabrizio Lee. Tony Fabrizio worked with Paul Manafort in Ukraine to support the Russian-backed president there. We’re being punked. H/T Mueller, She Wrote.
Rasmussen is considered a legitimate polling company, and FiveThirtyEight rates them +GOP by a few point.
When Trump was running for re-election, Rasmussen polls routinely showed Trump 10 pts higher than an average of all the other, IIRC. They were the poll most often quoted by him.
Their "Daily Presidential Tracking Poll" now is sponsored by a book about Hunter Biden.
Sus.
I’m surprised Rasmussen is considered legitimate, given their wildly pro-GOP, pro-Trump polls.
When I used the birdsite, I often read about FiveThirtyEight’s right-leaning bias, which apparently includes an overly favorable opinion about Rasmussen.
