In a polling double tap on the Democratic presidential ticket, President Trump for the first time has edged in front of Joe Biden in his bid for reelection and he’s reached his highest approval rating for the year.
The just issued Rasmussen Reports surveys put Trump’s approval rating at 52%, after a string of 51% marks. He reached 52% two other times this year.
And the pollster’s weekly race review released at noon had Trump nudging ahead of Biden, 47%-46%.
“President Trump has now edged to a one-point lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the latest Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey. While statistically insignificant, it’s the first time Trump has been ahead,” said the poll analysis.
It added, "The race has narrowed over the past two weeks. Biden had a two-point lead last week, but that survey also marked the first time Trump had edged above 45% over the past two-and-a-half months. Prior to this week, Biden has bested Trump in every weekly survey since White House Watch began at the beginning of July."

Rasmussen is frustrating. They pull a poll like this out, and then the individual state polls of WI, MI, NC, all have Trump down 5 or 10 points.
Doesn’t make sense.
Every time you post, it’s that same stupid remark.
Why do you do that??
I know the States polls are important, but if he is getting NATIONAL polls where President Trump is ahead, it may mean he will win the DESIRED, “Popular vote.”
Wouldn’t that be great!
Yes. God willing something will stop democrats from cheating...
Yes. God willing something will stop democrats from cheating... The FBI will step up to the plate...
We gotta make it happen!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AGAIN!
Amen!
Not really that confusing if you follow polls closely.
National polls pick up trends first. State polls always lag. Takes longer to get a large enough sample size for one reason.
Most national polls show Trump starting to close in. The state polls over the next few weeks should confirm the same.
Hillary beat Trump by 2% in the Popular vote. If Trump is 1% ahead in the pop vote , then any state where he was within 3% he should win. That means NH, MN, NV, and the 2 at large electors in ME.
National polls. Yawn. Drink beer. Burp. Yawn.
If I was the head of the RNC, I would file suit if Republicans are not getting these mail in ballots.
Those were really weak, I’m sure not their first choice. They’re running out of ammo and getting desperate. That means that they’re this much closer to finding a marksman and a fall guy and green-lighting the hit. Pray that they have a few more bogus scandals to run through.
He is polling 5% below his approval rating in the head to head with Biden. If he has 52% approval, there’s no logical reason he would not be getting 52% of the vote. The gap has consistently been there. About a month ago he had 43% in the head to head around the same time as a 50 or 51 pct. approval rating. If the gap is real it would be totally unprecedented. More likely it represents the “hidden” Trump voters.

McSally is awful, but McCain was worse.
I hear a week in politics is a very long time. We have eight weeks to go.
I think it’s just a bookmark so he can read the article later. l8r
the polls are “narrowing” ... gosh, who woulda thunk it ...
