Doesn’t this essentially ignore the 2010 elections which were a decisive rejection of The Disaster? Not that we shouldn’t assume the worst, given the utter stupidity of the American people.

Rasmussen's polls are what they are. If you're expecting to see a trend continuing from 2010 to now (as are many), then not seeing it now is a sign that people aren't paying attention.

Not seeing the baseline change after the conventions would mean that the people are ignoring the wave of 2010.

I never want to be overly optimistic with this electorate but there would have to be massive schizophrenia for The Disaster to win after the shellacking the RATs took. Nothing has changed to make him MORE popular since then.

And big gains for the GOP in the Senate is coupled with his victory? It makes no sense.

Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Wisconsin.

The Senate gains are in Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. But losses might happen in Maine and Massachusetts.

Different trends weighted in different ways.
