Whatever impact the third and final presidential debate of the 2016 election season may have still is to come, but the day after the event, Rasmussen had GOP candidate Donald Trump up by three points in its polling.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online White House Watch survey finds Trump with 43 percent support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 40 percent,” the report said on Thursday.
“Six percent still prefer Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and three percent favor Green Party nominee Jill Stein. Another three percent like some other candidate, and six percent are undecided.”
The same poll had the two candidates tied the day of the debate.
“Clinton held a seven-point lead at the beginning of last week just after the airing of an 11-year-old video showing Trump making graphic sexual remarks, but she began losing ground after the second presidential debate,” the report said....

It seems like he’s tied or winning in the legitimate polls.
The author is an idiot; even Rasmussen said this poll did not have any post debate polling. How could it?

Does Rasmussen do state level polls? Because if Clinton takes Nevada, Colorado, and Pennsylvania then she wins. Trump can take Florida and Ohio and North Carolina and Iowa and even the majority of the popular vote and still be sitting at home on inauguration day. So since everyone seems to consider Rasmussen the current gold standard then what do they say about Hillary in the battleground states?
I think he just means it came out post debate. Or at least I hope that’s all he means.

This is Professor Lichtman’s predictor for the election. He says any no answers to the 13 questions that add up to 6 or more means the incumbent party loses(Trump wins). He came up with 6 no answers.
I went through the questions and came up with 8-9 no answers.
So...nothing on battleground states?
Try to accept good news for us Trump supporters.

I Love them together. And yes. Prayers.
Go to Real Clear Politics and read to your heart’s content and with a huge grain of salt.
Do we really believe that third party candidates will get nearly 10% of the vote? Ross Perot was huge in 1992 and he only got 18%. Ralph Nader got a ton of press in 2000 and he maxed out at around 3%, if I recall correctly.
Of the 9% favoring Johnson or Stein, many will decide not to waste their votes. Trump will ultimately get 3% of them and Hillary about 0.5%.
The national poll is not the deciding factor. He needs to win Florida, Ohio, North Carolina. All the other states will fall in line behind those three. Pennsylvania would be a bonus but the corruption level may be too much to overcome. Last few elections had zero republican votes in many districts. Clear evidence of vote tampering! Republicans do nothing to fix the problem as usual.
He’s doing pretty well in those three states despite all the flak you’re hearing in the media. The Bay of Pigs veterans just endorsed him, something they’ve never done before. That should help in Florida.
It isn’t written very well but it seems clear enough to me that the author is saying that this poll does not include the impact of the last debate. “Whatever impact the third and final presidential debate of the 2016 election season may have still is to come...”
This is an encouraging poll. Rasmussen has not been kind to Trump. I don’t think they’ve had him up by 3 ever. This may be the long awaited “as Election Day approaches polls tighten” effect so we may be seeing some light at the end of the long dark tunnel of the last year, the last few brutal weeks in particular.
The real test will be when the battleground state polls come out next week fully incorporating the impact of the debate. IF multiple state polls start showing him in the lead in at least 4-5 of them, he might just win this thing after all.
Of course after the O’Keefe tapes in the last few days I must admit I’m not sure I’d ever trust the election process ever again if he doesn’t win. We all knew there was Dem fraud, speaking for myself though I had no idea it was ever this rampant or bold. It’s sick really sick. How such people sleep at night is beyond me. Total moral bankruptcy.
