Rasmussen Reports Poll: Clinton/Trump Now Even Nationally!

[Christians4LessGvt]

Trump 41%, Clinton 39%

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Monday, May 02, 2016

Last week, Rasmussen Reports gave voters the option of staying home on Election Day if Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the big party nominees, and six percent (6%) said that's what they intend to do for now. Clinton and Trump were tied with 38% support each; 16% said they would vote for some other candidate, and two percent (2%) were undecided.

But Trump edges slightly ahead if the stay-at-home option is removed. Trump also now does twice as well among Democrats as Clinton does among Republicans.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 41% support to Clinton's 39%. Fifteen percent (15%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This is the first time Trump has led the matchup since last October. Clinton held a 41% to 36% advantage in early March.

Trump now has the support of 73% of Republicans, while 77% of Democrats back Clinton. But Trump picks up 15% of Democrats, while just eight percent (8%) of GOP voters prefer Clinton, given this matchup. Republicans are twice as likely to prefer another candidate.

Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Trump leads 37% to 31%, but 23% like another candidate. Nine percent (9%) are undecided.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on April 27-28, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Rasmussen don't know shit.

Rasmussen is rarely right.

Trump's ass will be kicked.

And with even more validity, it can be claimed that

Xo don't know AMBE

Xo is rarely right

Clinton's ass will be kicked

Obama was elected twice, I was right about that.

[sirs]

And so was Bush....and so was Reagan.....all of which is currently irrelevant to the present topic at hand

[Xavier_Onassis]

The topic at hand is that I was right in 2008, right again in 2012, and will be right yet again when Trump loses.
I was right about how Scott Walker had no chance 0f getting the nomination because he was such a prick as well.

[sirs]

So...you're trying to lay claim that even a broken clock is right 2 times a day?  Ok, I'll give you that....which is why I also referenced rarely right vs never right

Rasmussen sucks.
It is basically a part of the Republican't propaganda machine, and has been for years.

It is no fun at all for the guys in the newsroom if every poll predicts the same winner.
Close elections are exciting. Exciting means more viewers. Exciting means higher rates for advertisers to pay, more eyeballs to sell.
Never forget the operative word in  commercial television is COMMERCIAL: more viewers means more money.
When elections are not close, the media likes to spread the word that they will be close anyway.
It is a good thing in that it helps get out the vote, but the fact is that people are not as interested in a rout as they are in a close election.
Rasmussen serves that purpose.

The Lamescream Media has hooked their wagon to Clinton.  If they could, they'd be broadcasting every poll as Clinton winning by double digits.  Rasmussen is no different.  They report what the polls conducted say.  But they are merely a snapshot of what those polled, at that particular time, are saying.  That's all.  Just because its not a clean sweep by Clinton, doesn't make Rasmussen some GOP propoganda piece.  Merely makes the point that Clinton's coronation is far from certain

You were obviously wrong with the last Bush.  You were obviously wrong with Reagan.  Likely will be wrong again, given your track record
