The Startling Metadata Hidden within the Polling: Voters Love Trump
American Thinker partnered with Rasmussen polling to look at battleground states, plus a few blue states in which there seems to be a softening toward Trump.

Most amazingly, voters in all states, often by significant majorities, love Trump; they just don’t know it. On the kitchen table, bread-and-butter, money-in-the-bank, our-children’s-future issues, people accept the Republican view that Democrats have done a terrible job and Trump can do a better job.
