The Raz poll is an outlier. No other single national poll comes close to his results.

“The Raz poll is an outlier. No other single national poll comes close to his results.”

If they used the same standard “likely voters”, a lot of them would the exactly the same as Rasmussen. The rule of thumb is to subtract 2-3 points from Democrats for “registered voters” and about 5 points for “adults” or “Americans.” Those 53% approval numbers become 48%.

Raz polls likely voters instead of registered voters. His record for accuracy is at or near the top.

Many polling outfits just poll “adults.”

Some poll “registered voters.”

Some poll “likely voters.”

Ras was at 50 % until recently , same place as several others. The others will be here in a week or 2. Theyre still in spin mode, hoping this wont last.
