In a landmark 2024 presidential election, Rasmussen Reports, led by pollster Mitchell, stood out with the most accurate predictions, calling Trump's popular vote at 49% and Harris at 46%. This performance is especially notable as it comes from a first-time participant in presidential polling, emphasizing Mitchell's ability to challenge industry norms.
