Yeah a lot of people don't realize that. Understandably given the name still being Rasmussen Reports. Scott now runs RMG Research. I believe their last poll was 47-42 Harris over Trump, but I may have missed a more recent one by them.nortex97 said:
And..Scott is unironically a very neutral and good pollster, imho (not affiliated with the polls cited today, which he sold off like 10 years ago).A4.5 point popular vote victory is not a landslide. A double digit margin is a landslide and we haven't had that in 40 years. Insteady, we have had 9 straight elections where no candidate topped 53% of the vote https://t.co/DLIFFQ8vtd

None of these trendlines/issues indicate a path for Harris-Walz to consolidate support outside of the communist voter block they already have:We asked those who see illegal immigration as bad what concerns them. In response to an open-ended question, 49% cited crime and safety concerns while 26% worried about illegal immigration creating a burden on the economy and health care system. https://t.co/hrgWo94wVo

I also think he has a point that neither candidate has a likely path to cross over the 53% threshold nationally; keep in mind the Democrats will have something like a 40 percent margin in CA and NY, and the GOP (population) strongholds of Texas and Florida are much closer.A4.5 point popular vote victory is not a landslide.
