Rasmussen National Poll: Trump +4 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Seriously?]

Trump - 43%
Clinton - 39%

If we haven't already, I think we can disregard Razzy for the rest of this election cycle.

Not really, the movement is consistent with the other polling the past few days showing a slight narrowing/trend towards Trump from the 5-7 to 3-6 point range.

Whoops, that said Trump +4? Yeah throw it in the trash along with the Washington Post poll.

[Seriously?]

I remember Rasmussen's saying that Romney would win on election day 2012. Afterwards, I stopped  paying attention to their polls.

Gallup got it wrong as well.

[Seriously?]

Rasmussen actually used to be a legit poster, but then he realized he could make more money by telling Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity's audience what they wanted to hear.

Rasmussen doesn't own Rasmussen anymore. So he's not polling a thing. Whomever took over.. whatever...

[Seriously?]

Nine point swing from their last poll that had Clinton up by 5 points, with no explanation whatsoever.

Polling is not a perfect science. Every pollster is going to get an outlier every once in a while. Since one of these things is not like the other with the Rassy poll vs. the rest of the polls out there, it has to be looked at that way.

Just like the Washington Post/ABC News poll does on the Hillary! side. The good news is that we have plenty of data points to look at where we can quickly figure out where the outliers are.
