Oh, and it wasn't a Rasmussen poll - doesn't that mean it is wrong?

Coming legally?

I thought you were worried about a cultural take-over.

Venezuelan president depicted eating steak in a Turkish restaurant while his people starve and Venezuelan diaspora in NYC area are shown to be bringing fast food ideas from Venezuela and successfully marketing them in Hispanic neighborhoods of NYC.

I only question election polls. The
others are usually close to accurate.
Lots of people still think Trump
stole the election because all the
polls said She couldn't lose.

Go look at one of the compilation
videos from election night where
pundit after pundit was proclaiming
Her victory before the results started
coming in. Funny stuff..

I am, which is why you limit the immigration and favor groups like Catholic Hispanics over muslims. Better cultural fit.

So you realize those polls you have been questioning lately have not been election ("who are you voting for?") polls, right?

RCP has him at 41%, Rasmussen is 49%. Rasmussen had the closest election poll, but of course this poll is way off because they forgot how to do it since the election.

As I pointed out, this is a public opinion poll, not an election ("who will you vote for") poll.

Also, Rasmussen polls likely voters, who have landlines, and this makes a well-known skew towards conservatives, and also isn't a great measure of "public opinion" because of the limited slice (likely voters with land lines < likely voters < registered voters < adults) of the population that they poll.

Rasmussen is at 47% as of now.
two other likely voters polls have approval at it at 43
among registered voters, 37, 38, 38, 43, 44
among adults 38
overall RCP average 40.7%

Yet you question the validity of the other public opinion polls because of rasmussen's performance in an election poll.

538 has an average of 40.4%

Why are you so fascinated with land lines? Why would they favor conservatives? Rasmussen takes non-landline customers into account:

Quote: Rasmussen Site

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.

Conservatives are older. Younger people don't have landlines.
