Media Bias

Rasmussen relies heavily on landline calls for polling so their cross-reference of a community tends to be just what old people think. Election results I suppose are the only true indicator.

Rasmussen calls itself most accurate pollster of 2016 | TheHill (http://thehill.com/media/306721-rasmussen-calls-itself-most-accurate-pollster-of-2016)

They were most accurate among major pollsters with the 2016 election.

Hilary hanging around in the outskirts of the public eye is hardly the dems biggest problem

That's interesting. I have always looked at Rasmussen as fairly reliable.



Matty, I just found it interesting. Even in the Rasmussen poll the hate factor is incredibly high at 44% who strongly disapprove. So clearly the 46/53 isn't an amazing big time best ever poll - though once it hits Fox's headlines I am sure Trump will trumpet it and CNN will poo poo it.


Oh he’s already all over it don’t worry about that, he tweeted about it yesterday

Yes, they were the most accurate for the Trump win, predicting Hillary winning by 2%. I imagine since they exclude cell phones with their methodology, anytime a Republican wins they will be more accurate than not.

They were near the least accurate for every other election (somewhat of a guess)

If you dont think Rasmussen leans republican with their way of doing polling, I have to assume you also think Fox News is fair and balanced.

(I think there is media bias on both sides ...)

In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!

LOL it makes me cringe every time winter comes and conservatives use cold weather as exhibit A on why climate change is not real.

Record breaking weather is Exhibit A that climate change is real. "COLDEST New Year's Eve on record" ... is just another record that is being set. The stupidity of Trumps post is mind boggling.

"Last month also marked the hottest ever for August, which was also the 16th straight month to set a global heat record, according to Sánchez-Lugo.

The last time the Earth had a cooler-than-average month was December 1984, Sánchez-Lugo said. The "average" in this case is the average 20th-century temperature.

The first eight months of the year were also record warm, putting 2016 on track to be the warmest year on record."

What a shocker he doesn’t know the difference between climate and weather

Oh he’s already all over it don’t worry about that, he tweeted about it yesterday

And CNN has ignored it, so we are at Par.

Well ur point was to simply dismiss the poll bc it actually is supportive of the trump presidency and since day one of the trump presidency there has been been a well documented effort by the media not only to discredit the president but to spread false narrative that no one in the country is behind the president and there generally no positive support for this president.

The Rasmussen poll was the most accurate period. So what you should questioning is why were the others generally off and some way off when it comes to historic polling. ???

When you speak of a biased, inaccurate, false poll....BUT SUPPORTS a narrative you want and THE MEDIA wants...then you can see how it is easier to see the spread of misinformation.

Chico .. my point was that Rasmussen uses landlines, which means they tend to poll older people which tend to vote republican. Fox news spins right, CNN spins left. I accept both for what they are.

Sounds like you think Rasmussen and Fox News are on point, thats your call.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this will shock no one that I hold this view, but Climate Change is one the Democratic Party's greatest inventions. It is the equivalent of Religion to the right.

(RELIGION: You can't disprove it because FAITH, the effects are far off enough to be minimally impactful now, BUT if we don't fix it, the rapture/apocalypse will occur and we will be doomed - DOOOMED I TELL YOU. Because FAITH.)

Climate Change: You can't disprove it because SCIENCE, the effects are far off enough to be minimally impactful now, BUT if we don't fix it, the global tipping point will occur and we will be doomed - DOOOMED I TELL YOU. Because SCIENCE.

And, no I'm not denying an amount of climate change occurs, both naturally, and man-made, anymore than I am saying faith is wrong. I DO disagree with the doomsday prophecies of a slow occurring natural event over the pace of tech advancements.

Not to mention we might be better off if the west and east coasts of the US moved inland about 20 miles (LA downtown is about 16 miles from the ocean). :smashfreak:
