This after the Wisconsin poll that had him up 8.

Edit: it’s funny that no one is believing these Rasmussen polls....Trumpers because he is down, and is because we think Rasmussen has some type of motive

1. Trump campaign is out of cash, so they cannot pay Rasmussen.

Good poll numbers are going to cost you.

2. Trying to instill complacency in Dems?

Trying to appear to be "fair" & "unbiased?" With some devious long-term goal, no doubt.

[Claustrum]

5. It's hard to instill complacency in Dems after 2016

It's a scar we will not soon forget.

18. True, but they are repukes

[RhodeIslandOne]

15. Desperate to motivate Trumpsters too

[SheltieLover]

19. Could be!

Does that work with magats? Not sure.

[Skraxx]

3. They Need To Get In Line with other polling at SOME point, otherwise they will lose what little cred

they may still think they have.

4. Weird - it's usually the opposite.

His polls are usually favorable to the Republican for most of the campaign, and then start to shift back to reality as we get closer to the end so that he can claim that his final polling was reasonably accurate.

6. Make the rich folks desperate that they're about to lose their tax cuts

such that they pony up so Trump's kids can still collect their $180,000 campaign salaries and help keep the Trump businesses afloat.

Of course, the corporate bonds the US treasury is doling dough out for is bound to circle some of it back to the Trump campaign ..

7. He wants to pump and dump

I don't trust Rasmussen

8. Setting up the October COME BACK YEEEAAAAH!

[Squinch]

20. This

9. They may be giving up on Trump and decided to go legit.

I suppose to save face when the Idiot loses in a landslide in Nov.

10. Rasmussen always had a republican bias. I think those polled aren't being honest in their

responses

I sure would be skeptical of anything from Rasmussen

[Proud liberal 80]

12. Me too

That’s why I am wondering if they are putting out these favorable Biden polls, just to show in a couple weeks Trump momentum

[Loki Liesmith]

11. Ras is a random number generator

It’s a mistake to look for a plan

[MoonRiver]

13. Rats abandoning ship?

[Roland99]

14. trolling, not polling?

[DarthDem]

16. Setting Up Later Narrative-Driving

All of their polls as, as far as I'm concerned, completely made up. So this is an prelude to a later poll in mid-October showing Trump with a big Ohio lead and DEMONSTRATING MOMENTUM, BAY-BEE!!!

It is weird that they chose to do this with Ohio, though. Maybe they want Biden to waste time and money there - but he's sort of printing money right now, and Trump isn't.

Bottom line - it's Raz. Point, laugh, and do nothing in reliance thereupon.

17. My general thought with Rasmussen is

Lower the republican number 1 to 2 and raise the democratic number by 1 to 2 no matter what.

Rasmussen skews for republicans, but even they can only do so much without it being super-obvious. This 49-45 is the best they could do for Trump so the numbers could actually be 51-43.
