La times poll: Trump 45.3% clinton 41.9%...

For every one poll that has Trump in the lead, there's 10 others that don't.

I think in the end, come November, Trump will be blown out of the water. But how ****ty is Hillary Clinton that even now, there are some polls that show her so close? I think if the DNC put up an actual candidate, this wouldn't be a "race". Of course, I think the same holds true for the GOP. The only way Hillary could be in the running is if the GOP put up an absolute disaster...and they did.
 
It is too early to be looking at polls for anything other than trends to current topics. Even then one has to be picky about the polls they are looking at.

I don't I think so, its going to be a close race. Hillary's overwhelming lead is a MSM narrative.
 

Hey look, you are still not linking to the poll, despite being told about it pretty much every day when you refuse to post to the actual poll. You would almost think you rather desperately did not want people to know the poll uses a different and unproven methodology from other polls. You would not try and hide facts from people, would you?

If she were facing anyone else, her disapproval rating would be the top trending story every day. I don't think HRC is the devil reincarnate like people try to paint her, but I think her history and the fact that her husband was already president should all but disqualify her in my book. Unless she's running against Trump, lol. Craziness.
 

This may come as a complete surprise, but when you see one poll that's wildly different from almost all the others, there's a reason why...and it has little to do with "secret Trump voters" as his campaign manager claimed.

Look - y'all went down this path in 2012, believing the very few polls that told you what you wanted to hear, but completely ignoring the vast majority of the polls. And what happened on election night?

And here we go again - once more, the great majority of polls are showing a significant lead by Hillary, and very few are showing Trump even being tied to her, much less in the lead...yet that's the one you want to believe. Desperately clinging to any sign of hope that your side will win even when there's so much evidence to the contrary is a very human thing indeed - but as long as Hillary's alive and alert and lucid come election night, she will win...because most people simply cannot bring themselves to vote for a man who's a racist, a misogynist, and a narcissist in the clinical sense.
 
I don't I think so, its going to be a close race. Hillary's overwhelming lead is a MSM narrative.

When it comes to the EC, Trump will be trounced. The only reason Trump is still hanging around in some polls is because Hillary is such a god-awful choice. But he's a little worse, which is why he's going to lose in the end.
 
...because most people simply cannot bring themselves to vote for a man who's a racist, a misogynist, and a narcissist in the clinical sense.

Because a corrupt lying wall street shill with delusions of liberal globalism and a loathing for American rights, freedoms and sovereignty is a better choice?
 
And whatever the MSM says must be false, huh? If the MSM says a thing, y'all just gotta refuse to believe that thing.

You mean in the same way any source that reports with a conservative bias is considered not credible by liberals? Yes.
 
For every one poll that has Trump in the lead, there's 10 others that don't.

Except almost all the "10 others" over sample Dems have changed methodology in ways that specifically hurt Trump. But even with that almost all the "10 others" are slowly going in Trumps direction.

Tell me, which polls were more accurate in 2012 - the very few that said Romney was going to win (remember Karl Rove's on-air panic on election night?), or the ones that said Obama was going to win?

Remember how much statistician Nate Silver was castigated as a left-wing shill? But he got all 50 states RIGHT.

That begs the question: is it still "liberal bias" if it's significantly more accurate than what the Right wants to believe?

I wouldn't count on Trump being out the race.

The answer to why this poll differs so much is easy to spot..

The Daybreak poll, by contrast, asks voters, using a 0-to-100 scale, to rate their chances of voting for Clinton, for Trump or for some other candidate.

Absolutely idiotic way of polling.

Both parties' did such an incredible job, the voters were so unbelievably irresponsible.... It could make one speechless.

That is a good point, I wouldn't be surprised if the Clintons have the EC in their back pockets too.

No but to be honest I take the MSM with a grain of salt, it's not so much that I don't believe their polls are accurate. What concerns me more is how much their propaganda is behind the votes that make up the polls.

Yeah, no. The polls aren't biased against Trump.


But even with that almost all the "10 others" are slowly going in Trumps direction.

No they aren't. Trump's slacking in the polls right now.
 

I listened to DJT's speech yesterday and found it uplifting and the high energy of the crowd was terrific. I contrasted that with one of Crazy Crooked Granny's and, wow, what a difference. I must have heard a dozen reasons from her how horrible things are and how hard things are for the average American. Leftists dwell in a world misery. What a shame.

That's because Trump inspires people by confronting the issues head on while Hillary is like grandma reading happy butterflies and rainbow bed time stories to the dumbed down masses.

"not biased against Trump" says who Hillary?

Before you embarrass yourself further check RCP, the polls are tightening.
