Rasmussen conducts a weekly survey, and this week Trump garnered 47% of respondents’ votes while Biden obtained 46%. Additionally, Trump’s approval rating rose to 52%, as the Washington Examiner reported.

One thing I've noticed is Rasmussen is leading the other pollsters by about a month, so I'm keeping an eye on him.

Not the biggest individual poll guy, but the latest polls have been Likely Voters and larger samples, and the aggregate Biden lead is trending down.

Usually that doesn't happen till sometime in the first half of October if the Republican looks to win, and it reflects little things I've noticed here and there for the last month or so.

No...  don't want to see this.   It must be a lie.  Orange Man must not lead in any poll.  Bad  bad man Biden good.

Are they setting up a Trump peaked too early narrative?

They could well try that. My hope is that Biden will keep a slight overall lead within the margin of error till right before the election, with the occasional one showing Trump ahead of course.

It is a trap.
