Rasmussen -- while always an outlier, showing Trump approval much higher than more accurate polls -- has had Trump at 47% the last two days, with Obama's approval rating higher at the same point in his presidency.
NOT ONE WORD from any RW media source I've seen and heard about the dip in Trump's approval.
And of course Cheeto himself is silent about this.

Editing to add a Philip Bump tweet from a few days ago that makes Rasmussen's bias very clear:

Rasmussens polls were worse for Obama than the RCP average 93 percent of the time through March 2010. Rasmussens polls have been better for Trump than the RCP average 99 percent of the time. https://wapo.st/2IpFLX0

I just edited the OP to add info about how often Rasmussen skews conservative.

That's a cherry-picker, if you didn't know.

He's as disgusting as ever. The only explanation is that the nation is getting accustomed to eating shit. Even Hitler had a massive following, while he was forcing Jews, gypsies, and "non-Aryans" onto rail cars.
