than Joe Biden is today?
Yep. Rasmussen Reports says so.

I called out 538 today for including Rasmussen in their poll averages.

538 presents its adjusted weighted average of polls as an indication of how the president's approval is tracking over time. It appears on the front page, and it is corrupt - corrupted by the efforts of Rasmussen Reports.
There is no place for propaganda outfit amongst serious pollsters, let alone on the most cited site on the net.

(811 posts)I agree that it shouldn't be included in any poll aggregations. It is almost always far out of step with other polling results...and out of step with reality.

Rasmussen - Rasmussen Reports had him leaving at an all time high.
'Out of step' does not cover it. The appropriate word is lies.

both were focussed on Rasmussen polls with Biden's approval falling when the ARP was passed and people got their checks.
This one, that Dumbf was more popular at the death, than Biden is today, is reductio ad absurdum.
