It’s been a tough few weeks for Democrats and the media. Grasping at straws and serial gang rapes, Democrats have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, only to have everything bounce off him, hitting them back squarely in the chops.
Saturday afternoon, Kavanaugh was confirmed to the high court despite wailing and howling from snowflakes in the Senate gallery. Democrat hopes for a last-minute surprise fell flat. CNN wished for creepy porn star lawyer, Michael Avenatti, to pull a rabbit, or a pole dancer, out of his pocket at the last minute so we could have yet another delay – a round of testimony, FBI checks, and caterwauling from the left.
Instead of a pole dancer, we have a real poll, from the reliable Rasmussen Reports, their Daily Presidential Tracking Poll. These are the pollsters who most accurately forecast the 2016 presidential election.
On Friday October 5, 2018, after weeks of the left mercilessly bashing and besmirching his nominee Judge Kavanaugh, President Trump sits at 51 percent total approval. He approval hasn’t been this high since a single day last May. So much for Kavanaugh and Trump offending the sensibilities of average Americans; quite the contrary.
His approval index, the difference between strongly approve and strongly disapprove, on October 5 is at minus 1, the highest level for Trump in over a year and a half. During much of his term, Trump’s approval index has been in minus double digits, meaning at least 10 percent more “likely voters” strongly disapproved rather than strongly approved of his job performance.

The only time the polls can be trusted is when they can be verified - just before the election.
Trump Rallies this week on RSBN:

President Donald J. Trump Rally in Erie, PA 10/10/18
President Donald J. Trump Rally in Lebanon, OH 10/12/18
President Donald J. Trump Rally in Richmond, KY 10/13/18
I noticed similar patterns with Obama. His very negative would outpace his favorable until election time.
When you’re guy is in office you time out for a while. The question is can trump nationalize the mid terms.
I lie to pollsters whenever they call. They’ve called twice recently, as I live in a highly-contested Congressional district.
“The question is can trump nationalize the mid terms.”
I’d say that that is exactly what he’s doing with his phalanx of rallies. I just hope hat AF-1 doesn’t crap out for another 30 days.
“I lie to pollsters whenever they call.”
Good for you. I have not had this problem as I do not answer numbers that I don’t recognize. However, I wonder how best to lie to them? If you act like a lib, you risk adding to their polling numbers and influencing moderate politicians and voters.
thanks for posting the list. I like to stay up to date on where he’s going — it tells me what the real areas of interest are for Trump and the house/senate races.
Always go to this website for all things Trump and videos. I have it bookmarked. RSBNetwork has been there for President Trump since the beginning. Their cameras always show the entire crowd and have a pre-rally broadcast and talk to people lined up to get in.
Trump is rallying in fly over country.
Awesome.
Poll takers should be ignored because everything they do is either biased or they report based on lies being told to them. Stay away from poll and pundits. Pollsters like Charlie Cook or Larry Sabato are nothing but Democrat loyalists. Sabato nearly ruined his business in 2016, even after he was warned that Trump was going to be a powerhouse. He laughed and said...”You are nuts”!! Sabato was not laughing after Clinton went down the rabbit hole!!!
Folks many “Trump” surprises & victories are enroute to election day, Tuesday, November 6, 2018!!! Forget the current polls...they mean and tell nothing as it really is!!!
Ew, gonna have to steal that one.
Imo, the only time polls can be trusted is after the election, if the polling was at all accurate as proved by the election.
Otherwise, I suspect ALL polls to be playing the same perfidy they played in 2016. Report as polls what they want to be true, then try to tighten up to what might actually be true just prior to the election. Then make up excuses after the election and expect us all to forget before they start the same crap all over again.
I wish I could remember what poll it was, but there was one poll for the 2016 election that was showing Trump gaining on Hillary and actually showed him ahead of Hillary on the evening before the election. But then they changed their results to show Hillary ahead by a point or two. I saw it with my own eyes. I even posted about it here (it was a polling company that was being discussed here a lot.
I don’t trust polls. What’s kinda funny is that I do talk about this stuff on liberal sites that allow Conservatives, but temp ban at the drop of a hat. The people in these echo chambers think the Dems have their wave - and that Kavanaugh is a rapist.

The people in those leftist echo chambers do not think. They parrot what they’re told to parrot. Period.
