This doesn't surprise me at all. Look at the initial rush of money any time a poor oppressed Christian business makes the news because someone was intolerant of their intolerance.

If you want to know why the Rassmussan result looks so different from all of the others, it looks like they are the only ones applying a Likely Voter screen to their results

So they automatically take out 10% of the left-wing respondents to account for voter suppression?

European Conservative = American left.

I realized recently that the UK election, May vs Corbyn was pretty much just Clinton vs Sanders all over again.

Nope, May is quite a bit further right than Clinton. Authoritarian, pro-spending cuts, anti-immigration, she'd be a Republican (albeit one of the ones closest to the centre).

They conduct land line surveys


Who is most likely to have a land line, and who do they tend to vote for


That 48% is his old people approval rate, which is not good

They are quite possibly the correct poll. Trump still seems to be pretty popular among Republicans, despite everyone else expecting them to see the light Any Day Now.

Rasmussen has been consistently wrong for so many years now that there is literally no reason to think that they're suddenly correct.

Or were UK Conservatives always against it?

You seem to have problems with math. Wave happened in April and Clinton hit bottom at the end of May. In point of fact Waco dropped him from his high down to around 50% and then travelgate knocked him to his low.

Milo be trollin'. Clever, though.

Fun fact, wacky circumstance had me going out for drinks with one of the main leaders of gamergate; we got in an argument about Milo. He insisted to me that Milo was a troll and didn't believe what he was saying and offered to introduce me to him to show what a neat dude Milo was. I demurred but I sometimes wonder how the hell that would have gone down. If it had god knows there might be some lovely picture of myself like that out there.

Sorry to bring back Zuckerberg chat, but he's giving his commencement speech at Harvard . . . and it's incredibly political. To summarize, he referenced New Deal and Great Society and said that it's time for a new social contract to include universal basic income and health care that isn't tied to employment; he also said that rich people like him should be paying for these sorts of social programs.

Certainly sounds like he's running for something.

Ill believe it when I loving see it. More big talk from more air heads with delusions of grandeur. We JUST elected a know nothing businessman to the whitehouse and this idiot thinks we should do it again?

It's amusing to see CNN talking heads on air realizing that their class is no longer safe because of their cowardly "opinions differ on shape of planet" reporting over the last two decades.
