Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge posted a rare tweet on Friday touting President Trump hitting 50 percent in a daily tracking poll by Rasmussen Reports.
"Sound of the atom splitting... coming from Rasmussen, most accurate poll of '16," Drudge wrote to his followers.
Drudge citing Rasmussen being the "most accurate of 2016" is in reference to the 2016 election, when the polling firm says it was the closest of all major pollsters in predicting the presidential election’s popular vote, pointing to final results posted by RealClearPolitics.
On its final poll released Nov. 7, the day before Election Day, Rasmussen had Hillary Clinton
up 2 points on Donald Trump
. Clinton won the popular vote by 1 percentage point, even though Donald Trump beat her on electoral votes.
No other pollster tracked by RealClearPolitics came as close to the final results.
Rasmussen has been a consistent outlier since Trump took office, however, with the president sitting at 39.9 percent when averaging all major approval polls, including Rasmussen. The 39.9 percent does not include Rasmussen jumping from 47 percent on Thursday to 50 percent Friday.
Drudge has been relatively more active on Twitter since Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, primarily deriding Republicans on Capitol Hill for its slow pace implementing GOP legislative issues.
The 51-year-old Drudge always deletes his tweets a few hours after posting them. He doesn't follow any accounts on Twitter.

Did you actually believe this?
clearly the public isn’t buying continuous fabricated “news” by enemedia
the enemedia must be besides themselves as these kind of poll numbers are indicating how toothless and irrelevant they have made themselves with their self-induced zero credibility “strategy”. Naturally, they’ll attempt to double-down with their fictional alternate reality, but I wonder what exactly they’ll come up with.
So if you adjust that to take California, New York, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, New Jersey & New England out of the picture he is likely doing quite well.
I’d be far more impressed to see a picture of him deployed in his uniform as a young man.
Speak for yourself. None of the supporters I know hate him.
Nancy, the queen of un-civility.
Oops... better rethink that....I trust Trump to make America Great Again... nobody else. Do you trust Trump?
