Normally I'd agree with you. But Rasmussen has been held in high regard by the .WIN community since they gave the most accurate Trump polls back when everyone else had him down by double digits prior to the election. So this is disheartening.
Assuming that Rasmussen has maintained a stable sampling methodology, I think what's going on here is that there's a fairly limited hardcore group of "true believers," who won't change their minds for anything. (Bet they all have 2 & 3 vaxxs too!) It's comforting to see a significantly larger group who are really hating on Ole Joe. The people who are in the center ("approve," "disapprove," and "don't know") are probably quite whishy-washy about things in the outside world and will change their minds fairly easily.
Right, there's about 25% who don't feel strongly either way, so I guess I'm expecting more of them to jump on "strongly disapprove" after the Taliban debacle but it doesn't look like ANY did.
The plain and obvious point is that Rasmussen was also corrupted, and false. I have no idea how you think pointing out that they happened to be the least false at one point in time is going to carry any rhetorical weight.
Fox News was notably more favorite to conservatives than the other major news outlets through the election season. Are they trustworthy? Are they honest? Are they independent?

Guess we'll have to wait for a different "precipice event" for the brain-fogged middle. Ten days of darkness with no cell phones might do the trick!
No cell phones / no internet = no polls! :)
Huh?
Rasmussen went from outrageously lying about Joe Biden's "lead" to merely massively lying about it.

These ain't independent and honest pollsters, that's for damned sure.
Gosh, nice try, tho. 🤷♂️
Nice try for what? It is widely speculated that people weren't honest when asked because they feared ending up on some list as Trump supporters.
Can you name a more accurate poll prior to the election? and
Can you recommend a better daily presidential poll, or one that's as independent as possible?

Obviously I made this post because I'm unhappy with them. I'd like to replace them if possible as I like tracking this sort of thing.
