I think Rasmussen has "adjusted" his voter screen
Obama appears to have gone from -15 (and worse) to -4 since 6/16-6/18.

Thinking he is getting ready to hedge his bets if the midterms are closer than the narrative he has been spreading claims.

1. I think he just makes up the numbers out of the blue. Yesterday & Sunday Obama was at 49% approval
and 50% disapproval. Rasmussen has had Obama's approval higher than Gallup had Obama's approval for several days and today they both have him at 48%. :shrug:

2. He makes it up half the time. Actually, he most likely uses different voter screens for different
polling days. Tricky, but we can pick it up.

3. I bet you're right. Especially since he's constantly on Faux "reporting" on his polls.
If he puts Obama's approval at 49%, I guess it seems more believable to the rest of us so when the number falls to 44%, we can't complain.

4. His numbers have been very erratic in recent weeks
He's already hedging bets.
