He’s Australian. He finds a bad attitude and wraps some random words around it. Only has subservience to worse attitudes not actual comprehension of words.

I think something weird happened on those transport ships that no one ever wants to talk about.

AMAzing what you can do with a creepy little push poll if you are an incredibly crooked organization. They’re only off by about 10 points, right at their average.

Glad to see you still partaking in the poison you rotten lickspittle.

Not you Larry. The tresus mashup is shit scary.

50-49 for Trump

Obama was at 45-54

facilitorn   Yep! Even giving credence to the poll the numbers doesn’t convey the atmosphere of the times.

On this day in 2010 The Tea Party firestorm was peaking and Obama was figuratively being roasted on a spit. Progressives were pissed about the Public Option after GOP insisted it be removed from ACA. Joe Lieberman insisted it be pulled so GOP got that concession then didn’t back ACA anyway.
Left wingers “punished” Obama for not wielding his Green Lantern Ring of Power and willing single payer.

Context is everything, bubbe.

Obama never encouraged rioters, shooters, bombers, though he still had to deal with fox doing it all the time.

Obama never sent troops to terrorize voters at the border when he was afraid he’d lose senators in Texas and Arizona. Here’s sissy trump’s military parade. While he has troops on the move and more killers incubating, his rashness tweets about punishing illegal voters, who basically tend to be republican committee men who can’t remember which tax dodge cottage they are currently calling home.

Why do you think the 2010 midterms were such a mess for your side?  HISTORICALLY bad.

Rasmussen has been an outlier polls for years,  with its reliance on automated land-line and not calling cellphone -only people.   

Quote
Meanwhile, polls that use live callers have been showing lower approval ratings than polls conducted by online or automated survey. Rasmussen uses automated surveys.

"Automated polls only call landlines, which means they miss the roughly half (!!) of the American population that uses mobile phones only," FiveThirtyEight editor in chief Nate Silver wrote in February.

"This matters because cell-only individuals tend to be younger, lower income, and more urban, all of which bias landline-only surveys in a conservative direction," Smith said.

Each of these factors help explain the higher results for Rasmussen in Trump’s favor. We reached out to Rasmussen but did not hear back by deadline.   
  - from PolitiFact in 2017.

Quote
"As we move from all Americans, to registered voters, to likely voters, and to actual voters, the sample becomes more educated, more wealthy, and more Republican," said Steven S. Smith, a political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis. "Statistical weighting can reduce the bias. Rasmussen weights, but we know little about Rasmussen’s weighting procedures. The details matter."
