Normally convention bounces favor the party with the convention, but the Democrats’ convention appears to have had the opposite effect. Trump’s approval rating went from 47% on August 17 to 51% today.

Did the convention’s dark and divisive narrative turn off voters?
51% is nothing to brag about.
And from Rasmussen, of all polls.
Trumplovers need to figure out if they trust polls or not.

RCP Average:
Monday Aug. 17 Approve: 43.1% Disapprove: 54.5%
Monday Aug. 24: Approve: 43.7% Disapprove: 54.3%
So no big whoop.
Trump only quotes Rasmussen. Although it might be the only poll that his staff let’s him see.

I’ve not see a noticeable bounce for Biden but Rasmussen approval rating polling does not indicate that there’s a bounce in the opposite direction
Yes it did!
I don’t think we will be seeing any boat parades for Joe anytime soon, I haven’t even seen a Biden flag.

Missing the point. If you believe Rasmussen favors Trump too much, you can still compare his favorability with them now compared to past times. This is about as high as I have ever seen it with them, compared with their previous polls. And right after the Dem convention.
I wish there were a way to measure the enthusiasm factor for Biden. Can polls do negative numbers?
The Chinese were aware of negative numbers around 200-100 BC(E).

Interestingly enough, a comparison of Trump to Biden by Rasmussen is included in this poll below. Their poll has Biden 4 points ahead of Trump.
How does Rasmussen’s polling of Trump’s approval shift three to five points in a couple days so often?
Honestly, if I were Trump I’d be a lot more concerned about 51% being record high territory in my approval ratings.

Rasmussen has been consistent as of late, hovering from around 47 - 51; this has been for about a month or more
One of these things is not like the others.
