the total approval rate is 44% with a total disapproval of 56%

polls are manipulated. when they don't reveal the questions, it's hard to determine the legitimacy of the poll.


I understand that, and I agree.

Who pays for the poll, and the questions asked make all the difference.


There is a world of difference between 'RASMUSSEN's public opinion polls and electoral polls.

Electoral polls are the barometer by which the pollster's credibility is established. The ensuing election numbers keeps them honest, or else they're plain wrong!!!

Public opinion polls on the other hand are impossible to monitor. There would need to be a referendum everytime you make a public opinion poll to validate the results.

So when it comes to public opinion polls, the pollster's integrity, and independence are fundamental criteria.

Rasmussen approaches POLITICAL POLLING following state of the art methods and execution procedures.
Their political polls are judged reliable, and their credibility for POLITICAL POLLS is therefore intact as explained above. Most people give Rasmussen the same credit for their PUBLIC OPINION POLLING results,

... and shouldn't!!!


When it comes to Rasmussen's approach to public opinion polls though, all 'state-of-the-art' methods go out the window, and are replaced by the Rasmussen 'IN-HOUSE' custom made approach to polling.

No one can hire Rasmussen for a public opinion poll, they are proud of claiming as a way of preserving their independence?!?!?!

It is suggested that the reason for their 'personalized not-for-sale approach', is that it leaves them free to poll whichever way suits them and their fans. How else can you explain that their public polling results are never in line with other major pollsters, and always leaning 'right'!?!?!?

And how about leaving out the 'graded questioning' to polling???

Taking account of only the 'Strongly' in the polls questions?!?!?!

That's it?!?!?!

That's twisted!!!

Most moderate people would rarely answer 'I strongly approve' or 'strongly disapprove', but would lean towards approving or disapproving nonetheless.

The 'strongly' allows pollsters to get the partisan votes on both sides of the axis. To only ask, or publish the 'strongly' category of a poll, discounts all moderates, or forces to assume that no moderates were polled.

Either way, it totally disqualifies the poll for total lack of credibility.

Rasmusssen is famous for catering poll results to the 'right'
(especially the fundamentalist religious right). FOX would have no favorable numbers to massage its audience and ratings with without Rasmussen.

Dress it up any which way you want, WHEN ONE IS ALWAYS LEANING ON THE SAME SIDE, don't listen to the seemingly straight words coming out of the leaning man's mouth,
... trust your eyes and notice that man has a crooked tilt about him!!!









It sure is nice to see someone posting that has something intelligent to say Voil.

If you keep them trying to think it at least keeps them confused.

And the Valley Girls say,

"Whatever."
