@matuzalem RMG Research is a legitimate polling outfit, but I'd want to see more before treating this seriously.
RMG is right biased, as it's run by the same guy who runs Rasmussen reports (which was dropped from 538 for being super biased). Considering RMG is hovering around the same poll score as Rasmussen was, idk if they'll be included next cycle.
Napolitan Institute/RMG was one of the lone polls that had trump leading in August (with the other two being fox news & the daily mail).
Poll ratings & August polls ๐

RMG is included in 538. They showed Harris ahead of Trump in an August 26-28 poll of likely voters.

Scott Rasmussen left Rasmussen Reports in 2013, over a decade ago, and has nothing to do with the current management. Under Rasmussen, they were generally considered a good polling outfit.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @matuzalem And in 2004, "Rasmussen and SurveyUSA beat most of their human competitors in the battleground states, often by large margins."

But the issue is RMG, which has a B rating from 538. That's a respectable rating, and not just in "right wing circles."
I'd like to see their results confirmed, but I don't dismiss it out of hand, either.
