    Rasmussen has a choice, to be taken seriously as a pollster that reflects reality, or offer a fantasy that endears it to Fake Don and his delusional bum kissers.

    A pollsters's legitimacy (and solvency) is, ultimately, based upon its accuracy, not its shamelessly pandering to any ideological ilk.

    Whilst no poll is infallible, FiveThirtyEight's methodology, an integration of the variations, is clearly superior: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-were-tracking-donald-trumps-approval-ratings/

    This is good news, but these are just polls. I wouldn't be surprised if his approval is higher than that.

    The Democrats do not have a radical agenda, but Trump sure does. Funny that you chear his radical agenda while demonizing Democrats for a radical agenda that they don't even have.

    Considering that Rasmussen filters their results accoring to "likely voters," which skews results in favor of Republicans due to their being more likely to vote, you're way off. Trump's actual approval is much lower. It just may not factor into the next election. It'll depend on how motivated those who disapprove ultimatley prove to be. If 2018 is any indication, though, they'll be pretty motivated.

    Considering it's a poll, I don't put a lot of stock in it. Even less in your analysis. You guys are usually wrong. It's Mueller time.

    Any Dem can win. They just have to show up. Trump has always been universally hated by a big majority of Americans from every major group but old white guys. Now he’s hated in the subs. Only if voter suppression is instituted big time and Dems fall asleep will they lose. They showed up in the mids. It’s theirs for the taking..

    We'll see.

    But it is interesting that you think only "old white guys" support Trump. Would you be interested in seeing that it isn't only "old white guys" that support Trump?

    Also I see that you're already coming up with an excuse if Trump wins again. Perhaps you're not so sure of your statement as you pretend to be?

    One more question for you: What to you is voter suppression? For example would voter suppression include not letting independents vote in primaries? Or are you only worried about the general election? (ok, that's three questions but its all about the main question of "what to you is voter suppression?")

    Interesting questions.
    Pretty apparent though. the parties choose their candidates. So if you're going be an independent and vote for a party candidate, then democrats should be allowed to vote in republican primaries too as well as the other way around.. In our state, like any, you only need to reregister into a party a before the primary. You can always vote for anyone in the general. Changing party affiliation is possible in any state for the primary. So why should the rules change. I do it all the time.

    How often do you change your party affiliation? It's not as simple to change party affiliation as you make it out to be. For instance in NY if you were a registered Independent, or even Republican and wanted to switch to the Democratic Party because you supported a Democrat running you had to do so 8-11 months before the DNC held their Primary election. If you were not a registered voter you had to do it 1 month before then. LINK: Democrats need to fix their own voter suppression problem

    And yes, as you note you can vote for anyone in the general election. Neither the DNC nor the RNC can change that...though I'm sure they'd love to be able to institute rules like they have for voting for their chosen candidates. I find it funny that the DNC is often hollering about "one person, one vote" while at the same time they limit just who it is that is allowed to vote for their preferred candidate of choice....kind of like the EC in some ways.

    And while I'm glad you find my questions interesting I'm a bit disappointed you only addressed one of them. Could you perhaps answer the others please?

    Worse than all that. Democrats are threatening police with the national guard.

    It is clear more than ever why America gun owners need Ar 15s and STANDARD caoacity 30 round magazines.
    Democrats want unconstitutional laws that the police won't enforce backed up by the national guard..

    Yet at the same time want to ignore laws about drugs and illegal aliens..

    Middle finger Democrats !

    It’s called a party and only party affiliates should vote. It has NOTHING to do with voter registration for the general.
    I’m a registered independent. I can walk down to the town hall and change my party affiliation 30 days prior each year if I want a voice in Dems, and the next year if I want Repug voice. After the general, I change it back to independent. It has NOTHING to do with my voter registration eligibility. Other states should make it just as easy. Party affiliation means nothing more then choosing a set of policies I wish to follow. It’s not a religion like some view it. That’s why we independents out number each party.
    Two questions ?

    As far as open borders, it’s a laughable political ploy meant to fool the uninformed masses. What ever Bernie suggests, it’s out of practicality and facts which doesn’t exist on the right. . I doubt many complainers actually live in a border town ( did up north) where economies are totally dependent upon tens of thousands legal passing each day to work, go to schools and shop. Open border fear will exist as long as there is a sky and ocean where 90% of the illegal crossings actually occur and a gullible mass ready to listen to fake reasoning to steer up fear.

    The real enforcement takes place with the American business hiring practices. They are a joke. If illegals couldn’t get work, they wouldn’t come. It’s that simple. So, does the uninformed really know how many miles of coast lines there are off the actual physical border from California to Texas....gonna fence that in too ? Its just political ploy not worth discussing.

    Where does that occur ? I was a cop for ten years. My loyalties were to my FBI / federal sponsored training, the citizens I served and the constitution. I was also in the guard for a decade . Guess what, I had the same EXACT loyalties. The only difference was, I wasn’t allowed to carry a weapon unless issued in the guard, while I could carry nearly anything I was trained in as a cop. . It’s kind of afunny idea that one will confront the other. Much of the time, THEY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE.

    Your loyalties were wrong. Your loyalty should have been to the constitution.

    It is probably the other way around.

    The Real Trump NEGATIVE Number is closer to 90%.

    Let’s look at this paragraph.
    The most progressive side of the Democratic Party, is aligned with the majority of the American public on every poll, on universal healthcare, climate change, gun control and taxing policies.

    Something else. If the Conservative party of every free nation in the world came to the United States, they would align themselves by policy, with progressives. The US Republican Party on these issues, is aligned only with dictators and third world leaders......and on universal healthcare and climate change, they don’t even keep up with Putin and Kim.

    The Republican Party......is alone in the entire world of free people. Among the despots and dictators, they have a chance.

    Ah, maybe you didn’t read the entire post. We’ll wait while you do.
    You take an oath to defend the constitution in both. Anyone who is in public service, the military, police etc, defends the constitution.

    And, Republicans fell farther behind in the midterms. Some candidates who had Trump campaign for them, tanked.
    Trump can’t even go out in public without being booed. His rally’s are hand picked followers.
