President Trump's favorite poll may just become Democratic nominee Joe Biden's, too.
Trump has often praised Rasmussen Reports' polling, as it typically gives Trump a better-than-average approval rating. But in its Weekly White House Watch poll out Wednesday, Rasmussen actually finds Biden with a 12-point lead nationally.
Rasmussen, a conservative outlet, is pretty much the only polling form to give Trump positive approval numbers throughout his presidency. And just two weeks ago, it found Biden with only a single point lead over Trump nationally. But since then, its polls have given Biden an 8-point advantage, and then a 12-point lead among likely voters. That's a bigger lead than most other polls taken in the past two weeks have given Biden, though they unilaterally give Biden the advantage on a national scale.
Rasmussen surveyed 2,500 likely voters on Sept. 30, Oct. 1, and Oct. 4–6, with a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
