Rasmussen is a F-CKING JOKE, just like the president he makes up #'s for. Trump and his supporters are fully and completely synonymous with DISHONESTY. And the bigger the lie is, and the more it tells them what they want to believe/makes them look better, the more they love it. Disgusting, pathetic, SAD.

Hi Flagpole!

What's even worse is that Rasmussen refuses to release their poll. They have only released a tweet and they don't even say that they stand behind the tweet. So we don't know how they arrived at their figure or if they really did at all. For all we know, it could be an internal error in data compilation and somebody excitedly tweeted about it.

But true or not, it's so much of an outlier that it can be ignored.

Has A-A support for the POTUS increased or decreased since he was elected? I would think that it would be near 0 now.

Trump is proposing that SEC regulators change the quarterly financial reports from quarterly to twice a year for public companies.

This is not a terrible idea.

Companies feel pressure to make every quarterly report positive and sometimes at the expense of ling term growth.

But investors need up to date info to make trade decisions on.

And CEO's can simply report quarterly while planing long term.

The change is not going to happen.

"true or not..." I know what you are trying to say: is it an actual figure they arrived at, but knew that their methodology was $hit to get to it, and released it anyway, or did they simply pull it out of their a$$ ? Yes, 2 slightly different scenarios. But either way, the figure is not "true", so I think you could have worded that a bit better.

But here's the best part: there is absolutely no way anyone with a shred of credibility, objectivity, healthy cynicism/lack of gullibility, or respect for facts would read that poll and just believe that african american support # reflects reality in any way, shape or form. Yet, from President Trump, to Sean Hannity, and to all their idiot followers, they completely buy into it, because......it tells them what they want to here. If a poll was released and said he had 100% african american support, you can bet your last $ that Trump would re-tweet it.

But what might be worse is: while many of the doofuses on the right probably actually now believe over 1/3 of blacks now support Trump (because ASSmussen told them so), Trump and Hannity likely know it is complete BS. BUT...they don't care. Facts are for losers. Lies are for winners, in their book. Lies are powerful. Lies let you change reality. Lies let you say up is down, and night is day. Everyone exaggerates or spins, or tries to put things in the best light. But very few, if any, leaders in the US have had the utter disregard, and lack of respect, and lack of giving a damn about truth and facts as Trump and the current Republican party. What a disgrace.

Rasmussen has been "tweaking" their poll questions to get answers they know must be "right." It has been obvious for some time that they poll is heavily biased towards the results conservatives what. They "tweaked" their questions so much that they now provide results (36%) that are so far out of line that their poll is now a laughingstock. It is best to completely ignore all Rasmussen polls. Fox and Drumpf's favorite poll is a bigly joke.

Pestiferous sounds pretty cool. Bigly bad just sounds dumb.

Pestiferous (dangerous to society) is great word to apply to Trump, just like dotard.

Manafort not guilty on all charges!!!!

Um...no.

From nearly EIGHT years ago; Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEIght commented on the obvious bias of Rasmussen Reports. Some interesting findings by Silver were that Rasmussen"

— had some polls that were commissioned under a subsidiary on behalf of Fox News (via its subsidiary Pulse Opinion Research).

— overestimated the standing of the Republican candidate by almost 4 points.

— weights their surveys based on preordained assumptions about the party identification of voters.

— just a week after Barack Obama took office had his disapproval rating at 36% when no other poll had him higher than 20%.

— has an owner, Scott Rasmussen, who is a conservative.

Indubitably!

It is also at least a 25 cent word.

"Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation,"

It is insane how corrupt Trump is.

Here's what he said about the Manafort trial:

"I think the whole Manafort trial is very sad... I think it's a very sad day for our country," Trump said. "He happens to be a very good person, and I think it's very sad what they've done to Paul Manafort."

1) How is a trial for a dude accused of bank fraud and tax evasion "a sad day for our country"?

2) How is Manafort at all a "good person"?

3) What have "they" done to Paul Manafort? Paul Manafort made his bed by committing bank fraud and illegally evading taxes. Turns out the most stupid thing he did though was to get involved in the Trump campaign. Unless he is pardoned, that little decision is going to cost him his freedom, likely for the rest of his life.

Well, to be fair, she did appear to recognize that Japan is a nation that we once defeated in war. That puts her WAY ahead of most Americans. A recent poll indicates that 31% of Americans could not name ONE Asian nation. The same poll showed that 57% of Americans believe that Germany and Russia were the two (and the only two) nations that fought against us in WWII.

And then people wonder how Trump got elected

What's fair to say is that Americans don't care about education. Americans often prefer stupid over smart. Thus, we get president Trump.

Which leads us to the Chief idiot's AND THE ENTIRE STAFF incompetence.

This is very bigly bad news for the chief idiot.

When does the winning start?

It is a sad day for the country, because the Deep State is willing to single you out for not capitulating to their agenda. None of the banks reported "fraud" to FBI or any other law enforcement authority. Mueller's angry Democrats scrutinized Manafort's financial records with intent to find any discrepancy that they could potentially exploit. And why did he become their target? Because he was the chairman of Trump campaign. If he were another businessman with no ties to major political candidates, this would have never gone to a trial. So Manafort's "crime" was to have worked as the Trump campaign chair. If this is not a witch hunt, I don't know what it is...
