Ready to have some fun with polls?
As we all know, Trump is about as popular as a genital wart at a nude beach. Polls consistently bear that out...
...with the exception of one: Rasmussen.

Rasmussen consistently has Trump’s approval well above what any other source records... and as a result, it is Trump’s favorite poll.
When Trump’s approval hit 50% in Rasmussen, Trump crowed about it like he had won the Super Bowl.

Welp, things have taken a dark turn over at Commander Babyfingers’ ego-polishing pollster of choice.
Look at this graph... Trump’s approval even when measured by the right-wing Rasmussen has now fallen below Obama’s.
43%. Down 7 points in under a month.
Ouchie.

Even worse, the spread between “strongly approve” and “strongly disapprove” has reached a whopping 15 points.
Strongly disapprove - again, even when measured by Rasmussen - is now near 50%!
That’s a brutal number for Donnie Dunce.

One of the things about narcissists like Trump is that they assign value to information sources backwards.
Instead of judging good news based on its truthfulness, they judge truthfulness based on how good the news is.
Meaning, flattering info is true. Criticism is false.

Trump has built up a reliance on Rasmussen as his safe harbor from the ugly truth of his polling.
Now even Rasmussen has sprung a leak and has him deep underwater and falling like a dead starfish.
That is going to deeply, deeply bother Trump. Deeply.

Once a narcissist incorporates something as a tool in the protection of their facade of competence or brilliance, it stings even more for it to suddenly turn against them.
Trump doesn’t care what the CNN poll says.
This one, he cares about.
This one is hurts the big fella.
