Rasmussen is considered a lean-right poll and has not been included in 538's polling aggregate due to that bias.

Yesterday a poll in Iowa had Harris +3. I don't believe it.
The most accurate polls over time come from the NY Times/Sienna.

But there are signs that late deciders are breaking for Ms. Harris: Among the 8 percent of voters who said they had only recently decided on their vote, she wins the group by 55 percent to 44 percent. (With Election Day nearing, 11 percent of voters remained undecided or persuadable, down from 16 percent about a month ago.)
The polling comes as more than 70 million Americans have already voted, according to the University of Florida Election Lab.
Roughly 40 percent of those surveyed by the Times/Siena poll across the seven states said they had voted. Ms. Harris wins those voters by a margin of eight percentage points, the polls found. Mr. Trump has an edge among voters who say they are highly likely to vote but have not yet cast a ballot.
Totally different from what Rasmussen predicts.
