Is Rasmussen Inaccurate???

[edthecynic]

Of course, the real question is…..is this a mistake or an agenda?

Yes, of course it is Rasmussen's agenda to fudge the numbers....

They are using "likely voters", which is uncommon and generally not used in polling a President after an election is over...

CNN is using the Standard method of all adults, since it is a year plus after he became president.

in your articles it states THE STANDARD for a President, is all adults being polled.

Historically, national polling houses use “adults” rather than “likely voters” when polling presidential approval.

Read the rest of this thread, and see if you can make an argument that CNN is more accurate.....in fact, that they wish to be anything other than water-carriers for Democrats.

You know....pretty much like you.

The Right-wing Christian Gallup uses "adults" also and has habitual liar Tramp at 39% today, so Ratmuffin is worthless.

9. And, a bit in the weeds as far as methodology…

“The CNN poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points, which is nearly one percent higher than a typical margin of error for a poll with a sample size of 1,000 and a 95 percent confidence interval. Typically, a sample of a similar size with the same confidence interval will have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

Other potential errors include the use of “live interviewers.” If an interviewer’s intonation or inflection was different, some of the results could be called into question. Similar errors could stem from a question being worded differently in an interview.

Another point of concern with having a live interviewer, as opposed to a recorded, robotic interview like Rasmussen uses, is that respondents might feel the need to curb their responses or lie. FiveThirtyEight has pointed out a number of reasons using live interviewers can cause varying results between polls.”
Why Is CNN’s Approval Rating For Trump 15 Points Lower Than Rasmussen’s?

Gallup has 1,500 in its survey like Ratmuffin.

10. Just one more thing…..

“Rasmussen Reports says it was the closest of all major pollsters in predicting the presidential election’s popular vote, pointing to final results posted by RealClearPolitics.

No other pollster tracked by RealClearPolitics came as close to the final results.” Rasmussen calls itself most accurate pollster of 2016





Rasmussen isn’t omniscient….just more accurate. While Rasmussen called the 2016 election for Hillary, 322-216…..

Consistent with most other pollsters.

[October 25, 2016...NYTimes gave Hillary 93% chance of winning the election.
2016 Election Forecast: Who Will Be President?]


"Clinton is expected to get 332 electoral votes, while Trump is predicted to get just 206, according to the Moody's Analytics model, which is based on three economic and three political factors." Moody's Analytics model predicts big Clinton win





“Only one polling entity tracked by RealClearPolitics had Trump leading going into Election Day: A collaboration poll between Investor's Business Daily and TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence that had Trump leading by two points.

Most other polls tracked by RealClearPolitics showed Clinton leading by three or four points. The Monmouth University poll showed Clinton leading by six — the furthest off of any poll tracked by RealClearPolitics.”

You moron, Rasmussen can be accurate in measuring elections by polling only likely voters since polling likely voters for election polls is the most accurate form of polling. But it’s the least accurate for measuring anything but elections since they’re measuring a component which affects all people, not just likely voters.

Exactly how rightarded are you?

 

[whitehall]

Rasmussen had Hillary up by 2 points 24 hours before the election.

Of course, the real question is…..is this a mistake or an agenda?

Yes, of course it is Rasmussen's agenda to fudge the numbers....

All evidence shows that it is Rasmussen that has deviated from the Standard of polling "All Adults" for Presidential approval ratings....

Why would Rasmussen poll the President's approval rating WITH ONLY likely voters, in a non election year?

NUFF SAID..... you are wrong.

The question is for ALL American adults, do you or do you not approve of the President?

Not just for likely voters in a year that they are not even voting for him, which also leaves out an entire generation who just became eligible to vote...who are not included in likely voters....

Rasmussen is fudging the numbers and using the criteria of likely voters to skew the results in the President's favor.

6. Of course, the real question is…..is this a mistake by CNN, or an agenda?

Does the Clinton News Network wish to have accuracy in its data, or simply a boost for Democrat success?



7. This should answer the query:

“CNN polled the opinions of “adults,” ages 18 and up, however, Rasmussen polled “likely voters.” Choosing one method or the other can lead to different results.

Polling “adults” includes a significant number of respondents in a given sample that either rarely or never vote. Adults that are not politically active, or rarely politically active, are less likely to follow public policy debates as closely as those who are committed voters.

Using “likely voters,” some argue, like Kyle Kondik, managing editor of “Sabato’s Crystal Ball,” is a better barometer for measuring presidential approval ratings.

“If I were to start doing a poll of presidential approval, I personally would do registered voters,” Kondik told TheDCNF in July 2017. “If you’re looking specifically at trying to figure out the electoral effects, you’re probably better off doing registered voters or likely voters.” Why Is CNN’s Approval Rating For Trump 15 Points Lower Than Rasmussen’s?



Accuracy for the mainstream media???

Hardly.



And CNN?
Democrats posing as journalists.

Imbecile.... the job Trump does affects ALL Americans, not just likely voters. Omitting a segment of society, by definition of scientific polling, cannot produce accurate results except by chance.

Don’t you know anything??

We have all seen these "man on the streets" shows where people are asked political questions and they,if told a certain tax proposal was Hillarys, they would back it, or if told it was Trumps they wouldn't. The average person on the street has absolutely no idea what is happening politically. And if I were a politician, why should I care? It is the feelings of the actual voters that only matter. As they are the ones that do the electing.

Likely voters is a good metric right before an election

But in evaluating a sitting Presidents performance it ignores much of the population. Trump is the president of everyone, not just those likely to vote

We hear that claim with metronomic regularity from the Left’s acolytes, most especially whenever Rasmussen posts an increase in Trump’s popularity.


The glare is blinding when one compares Rasmussen with Pravda…..er, CNN.



1. “CNN claims 35 percent of American adults approve of how Trump is performing

Rasmussen Reports found 49 percent of respondents approve of the president


2. What accounts for a roughly 15 percentage point disparity?

CNN is skewing polling data to show the majority of Americans disapprove of the way President Donald Trump is handling the presidency.

The network published a poll Sunday that claims 35 percent of American adults approve of how Trump is performing as president. Those results are in stark contrast to a Monday Rasmussen Reports poll that found 49 percent of respondents approved of how the president is managing the White House.


3. …a number of factors that could account for the 15 percentage point disparity between CNN’s and Rasmussen’s results.

4. Thirty-three percent of respondents identified as Democrats, 44 percent as Independent or members of another party and 23 percent as Republicans.

5. … the most recent Gallup polling on how Americans self-identify politically, CNN’s figures are off as much as 14 percentage points for Republican representation.

Forty-four percent of U.S. adults self-identify as Democrat or independents who lean Democrat, according to a December 2017 Gallup poll. Roughly 37 percent of Gallup respondents self-identified as Republicans.”

“If I were to start doing a poll of presidential approval, I personally would do registered voters,” Kondik told TheDCNF in July 2017. “If you’re looking specifically at trying to figure out the electoral effects, you’re probably better off doing registered voters or likely voters.” Why Is CNN’s Approval Rating For Trump 15 Points Lower Than Rasmussen’s?



Accuracy for the mainstream media???

Hardly.



And CNN?
Democrats posing as journalists.

Imbecile.... the job Trump does affects ALL Americans, not just likely voters. Omitting a segment of society, by definition of scientific polling, cannot produce accurate results except by chance.

Don’t you know anything??

We have all seen these "man on the streets" shows where people are asked political questions and they,if told a certain tax proposal was Hillarys, they would back it, or if told it was Trumps they wouldn't. The average person on the street has absolutely no idea what is happening politically. And if I were a politician, why should I care? It is the feelings of the actual voters that only matter. As they are the ones that do the electing.

Everyone’s opinion counts. “Likely voters” only matter in terms of elections.

Know what I think? I think that if a dissatisfied person isn't dissatisfied enough to vote, then their dissatisfaction isn't bad enough to cause them to act.

And they aren't worth polling.

Who cares what you think? JAR is an opinion poll, not an election poll. Excluding a segment of adults makes no sense. Not to mention, it excludes young folks who are interested in voting but haven’t voted enough to establish a history to qualify as s likely voter.

That’s why all other polls combined average about 42% but Rasmussen is an outlier at 49%.

Of course, the real question is…..is this a mistake or an agenda?

Rasmussen has been more accurate in predicting election results than the Fake News Network

they poll "likely voters" and get it closer to reality

FNN would have you believe that Trump is in dire trouble with the general public ; it's enirely agenda driven
