Trump pops to 52%: ‘Best job approval rating on record,’ up with blacks, democrats

Here's the bottom line. Since the second week of July, there are 124 data points in the 538 listing of approval rating based on registered/likely voters. Of those 124 polls, Trump has been at or above 50% in exactly three of them. He has been below 40% in twelve of them. He has never had his average approval rating above 50%. The idea that he is somehow getting more popular is laughable. But whatever helps you sleep at night. You go for it.
 
seems you have a conclusion first and then look for the data to support it. That's the opposite of what you should be doing

You are projecting. You cited ONE poll. Literally one. As I just posted, there are 124 polls listed in the last six weeks or so of LV/RV. Trump was at or above 50% in three of them. So YOU are the one trying to find data to confirm your bias. Not me.
 
Do you understand how often something With a 25% chance of happening happens?

Hey, that guy had only a one in three chance to get a base hit. But he did. So you were wrong.

ROTLFMFAO!!! They don't understand probabilities. It's sublime.
 
Even worse, the despicable hack admitted the only reason democrats should care about it is because ‘it’s showing up in the polls’.

These people need defeated in the worst way.

I like Don Lemon. He tilts the Trumptards. See, I can play that game too.
 

This is completely laughable and would never pass basic scrutiny. With almost the entire democratic voting base against him, he's not capable of getting close to 53% even if every republican out there was for him. If he got every single republican and all independents that would give him 58%. He's not even getting all conservatives though. Maybe your gutter source has something to do with this.

Speaking of games lol.

How long do you think Joe will be able to keep playing hide and seek with these kinds of poll numbers trending? Some of these pollsters may not be ‘party approved’ but your delusional if you think the Biden campaign just sloughs them off.

Well, maybe they might. They don’t seem to bright, frankly. How could the not see this coming?
 
"Reeeeeeee I am an enlightened liberal and I only look at polls i like!"

it is undeniable the trend recently is in trumps direction. i am sure the racist hurricane though will change the narrative for the next month so dont worry too much

This mockery from a person basing an argument off of one poll only makes you look bad and vice versa. Although I won't put you past trolling.
 
Rasmussen is ALWAYS an outlier. Their result is nowhere near any other pollster. And this poll apparently hasn't been published. So I have no idea if it exists. Trump is right around 40% and has not budged in months.
Trump is 43.9 (RCP)
-538 is weighted - i dont use it. i use RCP averages
 
rasmussen is "always an outlier" (and the most correct poll for 2016) because they poll likely voters, and likely voters naturally skew conservative. voters are more conservative than the population at large.

Rasmussen was not the most correct poll in 2016. It was middle of the pack and it all depends on how you define "most correct". Is most correct the one that was closest to the actual margin or the one that got at least one of the numbers correct or the one that was closest with both numbers?

Rasmussen claimed they were the most correct before all the votes were counted then never corrected the story.
Final Rasmussen Poll - Clinton 45, Trump 43
Final vote count - Clinton 48.2, Trump 46.1
Final ABC poll was Clinton 49, Trump 46, so they were actually more correct than Rasmussen.
Economist was Clinton 49, Trump 45 - they were off by 1 point for each candidate as opposed to Rasmussen being off by 3 points for each candidate.
 
no question trump has been trending up since beginning of July..and Biden went down post-convention..lol

trendlines DO matter
 
multiple polls (of people that will actually vote) are now saying trump is over 50%.

Really? Multiple polls? 2 polls of his job performance may be over 50%. No poll of the vote contest has him near 50%.
Of the last 60 polls only 2 have him at 46%. 3 of them have him at 45%. Every other poll has him below that.
