Yeah... It's a single poll and I always argue against single polling, but when you look at the last 3 election cycles and everything in between, Rasmussen Reports have been the most accurate pollster out there for a very long time. And the fact that FiveThirtyEight refused to use any of their polling in their aggregate after Nate left is a big reason why they were always wrong by so many points, and is also a reason why they no longer exist in 2025.

They've been around since 2006, and earlier this week was the first time in 19 years of polling that the "Right Track" polling was in positive numbers since they started.

Every time there is a real outlier to the right, it seems to be Rasmussen.

On the last overview 17 of 20 national polls were Harris - Fox and CNBC had each a single Trump poll (+1 and +2). But Rasmussen - surprise - had a Trump+4

They have an openess score of 3.1 so not very transparent. Have anyone looked in to WHAT in their polling, in whatever info is available, makes them able to so predictably shoot to one side.

|| || |Scott Rasmussen (Rasmussen Reports)||-0.3|3.1|792|

They do a lot of polls. What are their business model? selling polls to rightwing media? are they sponsored against certain results? or is there a real difference in their approach to polling that makes this "happen".

Ooooh. Our resident illiterate has posted something that I just heard about last night - kinda.
It was not recognizable until getting to the end of this linky (and not bothering to hit the imbedded linky)

This is the whining from Bill Nye The Fake Science Guy.
He got his panties in a twist because NASA is now told to stop wasting money on the Fabe Climate Global Change Warming Hoax, and start focusing on real science, like for space.

boo hoo.


Budget prioritization like this is exactly why Direction of the Country is going up.
