Rasmussen Blows the Whistle on “National Poll Suppression” as Trump Closes the Gap
Red State ^ | 08/31/2020 | Brandon Morse

Posted on 08/31/2020 12:00:06 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

President Donald Trump is overtaking Joe Biden, but you’d never know that because the polls containing this information are being hidden.

According to Rasmussen, one of America’s most popular polling firms, there is actual evidence pointing to the fact that Trump is doing far better than the media portray but this is being withheld from the public.

Rasmussen posted a screenshot of Real Clear Politics polling averages. Normally, these are updated every week and without fail, but as of this moment, they’re still showing older numbers.

OK folks, no joke, this is now a national poll suppression story.

Twitter user “@furioustheguy” noted that the numbers that came out later than the 25th seem to be missing completely.

From August 1-15 there were 16 polls that came out. From August 16-31 there have been only 8 and none covering a later date than the 25th. pic.twitter.com/x5My6ra7Mw

Recent numbers have shown that Trump is doing far better than you’d think. An Express poll has Trump in a three-point lead. Rasmussen has a survey that shows Trump is just one point shy of overtaking Biden. The Trafalgar Group, famous for accurately showing Trump’s lead in Michigan in 2016 and one of the only to accurately predict Trump’s victory back then, also shows Trump above Biden by a substantial number.

Our new @trafalgar_group #2020Election #MO #poll conducted Aug 26-28 shows a comfortable Trump lead:
51.9% @realDonaldTrump,
41.2% @JoeBiden,
2.4% @Jorgensen4POTUS,
1.2% Another Party Candidate, 3.2% Und. See Report: https://t.co/n7noNNbpHC pic.twitter.com/bwI7BldjcL

The gap is closing between the two but totals are being left out that cover this.

Trump’s numbers are on the rise, even in voting blocs like the black community where Trump has experienced a nine-point rise.

Meanwhile, Democrat-supported things such as Black Lives Matter have experienced a massive drop. Support for Black Lives Matter in the swing state of Wisconsin plummeted from 25 to zero in approval. This is troubling news for Democrats who have made Black Lives Matter central to their campaign strategy.

Democrats need to be extremely concerned about what's happening in Wisconsin, where support for BLM has gone from +25 to +0 in 2 months. https://t.co/2wNMWoW6it

If there’s a reason behind these withholding of the totals then this hasn’t been revealed but many are speculating that the reasoning has to do with the media not wanting to reveal Trump’s popularity bump he experienced since his speech.

A successful and popular Trump is a narrative disaster and so these numbers can’t be discussed according to some. While this may very well be true, protecting the narrative may come at a cost as Democrats who believe that everything is still in the bag for Biden may end up staying home.

Regardless, this omission seems to be a big one.

As Seen On Overnight Twitter:
"Seems as if CBS/YouGov has decided not to update their battleground tracker this week (last few weeks it was done at 10:30am).

We all knew that 2016 polls were flawed, or worse - purposely corrupted.

I am certain that polls now in 2020 are far worse. Given that ANTIFA/BLM thugs roam the streets, and the entire leftist apparatus of mainstream media, education, and most branches of government are shrilly against Trump and Republicans - what average American will dare tell the truth to any stranger about their political beliefs?

I receive polling calls very often now. I always lie - not merely to hide my own beliefs, but to screw with their results. These people do not deserve the truth from me.

When the polls are updated, Biden will still be comfortably in the lead. Would anyone here expect otherwise?

Isn’t this interfering in an election?

Who is paying for these lies/interference?

The only poll that counts is in November.

Why do they even bother with the expense of doing polls anymore? Just put up the desired numbers, that’s all.

I hope I'm the one who started this with last week's post Vanity: Where Are The Post-DNC Convention Polls?:


Where are all the Democrat convention polls? The convention ended on Thursday (8/20). It's now Tuesday.

In 2016, the DNC convention ran from July 25 to July 28. After the convention, we had these national polls released:

It is now the Tuesday after the Thursday close of the DNC convention, and there have been ONLY these three national polls published:

Four additional state polls were released, three in "safe" states:

So where are the post-Biden convention polls? There have been three national polls released that were taken during parts of the DNC convention and ZERO immediately after it, compared to six polls during the same period four years ago that covered all or after the convention.

What gives?


I hope that poll suppression becomes a very big story.

Black and Hispanic numbers remain unchanged about BLM after two months of rioting and destruction. Completely brainwashed. No wonder the DEMs are gleeful about elections.

Much worse than 2016 final results (Trump nearly 19% over Hillary).

If you over sample Democrats, no wonder Biden is in the lead.

Much better than the 2016 MO Polling average (9.5) you Soros sucking piece of Obama filth.

Trump performed far better than the polling would have indicated in Missouri, so your precious polling at this time is much better for him.

You are a worthless pathetic Soros weasel.

By the way, I could not find a Trafalgar poll in MO from 2016.

Screw you, you piece of Soros sucking trash.

The RCP AVERAGE of multiple polls, was Trump +9.5. He nearly doubled the average.

Same thing with Hawley in 2018. The RCP Average was Hawley +0.6

Hawley won by 6 points.

Missouri polls have consistently understated the GOP support by A LOT, for a number of years.

You are a Soros stooge, and you aren’t nearly as anonymous as you think that you are.
