Trump approval ratings thread 1.5

[Crumpets]

So Rasmussen has Trump at +8 points today at 53/45. They also put this opinion piece on their website.

So, I ask again, why do RCP and 538 continue to include them in their aggregates? They're terrible performance in 2018 along with huge outliers this last week are proof they've dropped any pretext of being an actual pollster.

RCP is the same website that thought Bush would win California

I'm less annoyed RCP includes Rasmussen - just another datapoint to throw into the average - as I am that they routinely exclude outlier polls that benefit Democrats with no explanation.

Me, after reading comments after an obvious joke >>>

One does not joke with stats.

83% of professional statisticians disagree with this.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
