A lot of polls posted by Trump. Many polls posted on FR but can't even be found on the main site for those polls. Is my computer in the Outer Limits of reality.

There are some die hard hangers on that want to eke out Hillary’s last bit of money and value that temporary gain over their reputations. The ones that care about their reps are slowly converging to the truth.

They want low turnout and de-motivated Trump supporters.

Also effects who will give money and what other candidates will show up on stage with Trump.

All manipulation and b.s.

Hillary can’t get more than 1,000 people to show up to any of her events. Everyone hates her except bull dykes.

The Left, likely with the blessing of the GOP-e, is doing everything it can to demoralize and dispirit Trump supporters.

Never lose sight of that fact.

Stay focused on the larger objective.

-PsyOp to discourage Trump supporters
-Laying down cover for when they steal the election.

Trump over performed the RCP average during the primaries by an average of 2.6%. He overperformed in 26 states and underperformed in just 10. Sometimes the average was off by more than 11%. There are a lot of things to get nervous about. RCP polling averages probably shouldn’t be at the top of the list.

Personally, watching these over the years, I think they include them when they fit the story line and omit them when they don’t. They drop major polls on occasion and that seems to be the only reason that seems logical.

Here's a quote regarding the pundits people still keep referencing as reliable opinions on the election. It's from an article published in the Guardian newspaper very early in the primaries...

"A trio of political data experts empanelled by FiveThirtyEight for a podcast earlier this month estimated Trump’s chances of snagging the nomination at 2%, 0% and minus-10%, respectively. “If Trump is nominated, then everything we think we know about presidential nominations is wrong,” Larry Sabato, head of the center for politics at the University of Virginia, wrote last week."

Enough said.

MEMO

To All News Agencies

Continue PLAN A. Minimize Trump in all polls. If your true polling shows Trump ahead, juggle whatever you need to change to show Clinton on top.

Yeah, Trump was right around 50 before the debate. Since then his poll numbers have dropped nationally by a couple of percent or more, so his odds of winning have been adjusted downward since more people now intend to vote for his opponent.

I usually do a search for LS’s comments on polling to get an idea of what is going on. I'm not sure what other Freepers have a bit of an expertise in this area. I never took a course in stats, so I have to rely on others to wade through the muck of polling news.

Cheating.

That and the fact that a large percentage of Trump supporters will never talk to a stranger on the phone. I won’t. I got a call from a pollster yesterday. I hung up immediately. I’m sure they counted me as a Hillary supporter.

Most of the polling being reported by the MSM and touted at places like RCP are biased and dishonest propaganda tools. I’ll have a slightly better feeling about the numbers a week or two out from the election but until that time you have to realize that the polls are intended to shape public opinion, not reflect it. They’re designed to reduce turnout and demoralize Trump’s support. Period. They have no basis in truth.

The media is nervous with Trump leading in battleground states and Pence’s win in the debate, so they’re releasing these polls.

The only poll that matters happens four weeks from Tuesday.

The morons in the media think Hillary will win if they show her ahead in the polls. The dem oversample in some polls is ridiculous.

Trump declared war against the corporate media and they are deliberately trying to destroy him in case you didn’t notice.

But this tactic will backfire. Dems who don’t like Hillary think they have nothing to worry about with her ahead in the polls and probably won’t bother to vote. The same thing happend with Romney last time. The Fox polls showed him ahead and many republicans stayed home.

After about another week the ‘real’ pollsters will likely become more accurate and less slanted.

All of the earlier polls are meaningless, but those pollsters want to show some semblance of accuracy going into the final 2 weeks. That will make them more viable for the next election.

This will, however, be their last opportunity to put out the significantly slanted polls with the intention of swaying voters. Just today, one 'national' poll shows Clinton ahead by 10, while numerous other 'state' polls show Trump leading by narrow to wide margins.

If you have been neck-deep in poll-watching, you have been allowing yourself to be duped by these daily polls. Notice that each time one candidate supposedly got several points ahead, all of the sudden the race tightened. That was manipulation by the news agents to keep viewers coming back.

Its the demographics of the electorate. Women and minorities will put Hillary over the top. That’s being reflected in the polls. We’re outnumbered I’m afraid.

I'll tell you what's keeping him back.. 3 things

1. His horrible debate performance... he refused to advertise, had 86 million watching, and was absolutely awful

2. He's undisciplined. his 3 am tweets. His constant bragging. His being taken off message so easily.

3. His refusal to advertise!!! And he brags about it! He's getting blistered all over TV and radio, and just like the debate, the outrageous charges are not being answered! Rallies convert no one- ads could
