Fairleigh Dickinson University survey?

LOL

How can this be? Don’t we have enough polls already? Why dig up an obscure one?

Typical concern troll post.

Propaganda. Look at Brexit.

The theory is there are people who will vote just to be on the winning side. So they make the polls look like you’re a loser for turning out to vote for Trump or voting at all.

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.

“TOPICS: Cheese, Moose, Sister;”

Sounds about right.

But who is the sister?

Fortunately, it won’t be long until we find out if the polls are underestimating a lot of Trump’s support or if it’s 2012 redux. I worry that it’s going to be somewhat but not enough.

I’m trying to remain positive, but in light of how this country has gone the last 8 years and Obama with a net positive approval (!!!), I’m not so sure how people can be so optimistic. The country has gotten really dumb really quickly.

What I don’t understand is how people can think another candidate would have been a shoe-in for beating her. They turned an extremely decent man into an accessory to murder, capitalist predator, and dog abuser in 2012. You think they’d be any less vicious in protecting the White House 4 years later? If they can drive Romney’s negatives high enough to win, they can do that to anyone.

Haven’t heard of this outfit before, has anyone else?

I have never met anyone who has said they were ever polled during any election cycle. You would think that with all the hundreds of polls being conducted, the chance of being polled would be pretty good. Makes me wonder if polls are actually conducted, or are they just made up.

Whether accurate or not, he needs to ask himself what could he do different to get 50 points ahead?

1) Hold a news conference and announce the 6 bills you’d send to Congress before the Inauguration parties start
2) At the news conference, practice quickly addressing the major swings Hillary will take at you during the debate (tax returns, insults at particular women, etc)
3) End it by reiterating the 6 bills

This is the debate prep.

Let the FReeper hand-wringing begin.

Why I even visit these threads is beyond me.

A couple of comments:

1) I can’t take a “national” poll seriously that samples 829 people total, no matter what the internal breakdown.
2) I know a lot of people who support Trump who answer with “Gary Johnson” when asked by poll takers who they will vote for.

You can’t trust polls now a days, because they are used to move public perception, not gauge public sentiment. Trump has way more support than TPTB wish to acknowledge. The big question is does he have enough to cover the spread once the massive Dem voter fraud that takes place every election cycle is added to the mix?

Wait a minute wasn’t the hill yesterday’s poll had the beast up by one or vice-versa? How can it jump 10 points overnight? Doesn’t it make sense!

This is ridiculous and RCP better not include it in their averages. In a 4-way, Rasmussen has The Donald up 2, Gravis has it tied and even Economist/YouGov has Illary only up 3 which means Trump’s ahead. Plus a portion of this unknown poll is RV. No poll at this point should be RV. There’s another one on RCP which should be removed. The people want Trump and Pence.

Forget the polls. Get out there on election day and vote Trump. Convince as many people as you can to vote Trump. It’s time to face reality. All of the things people here predicted would happen to force Hillary out of the race haven’t happened, and aren’t going to happen. Hillary didn’t get indicted by the F.B.I. Obama didn’t replace her on the ticket with Biden just before the convention. Hillary didn’t skip the first debate, and didn’t collapse in the middle of the debate. She won’t miss the other debates. Her health may be questionable, but she’s going to appear to be just fine in her remaining appearances between now and election day. Wikileaks hasn’t torpedoed her campaign. Quit relying on some outside force to stop her. You’re only fooling yourself if you do. The only way to keep Hillary out of the White House is by handing her an overwhelming defeat at the polls on election day. Vote Trump, and convince as many people as you can to vote Trump.

Illary is home sleeping letting the media do her campaigning.

In a national poll, this might be the case. Depending on where the responses came from. Surely Hillary is going to win BIG in places like MA, NY and CA.

But national polls do not much matter. Its the states, people...the states.

Ladies and gents this much you know. By and large polls are controlled by liberal universities and/or media groups. Those groups often use polls to shape opinion and outcome, not to reflect or predict it.

To me the bottom line is winning or losing the liberals that control the polls will and have never in my lifetime (Reagan’s re-elect being the only exception) picked or predicted a Republican victory. Might they be correct that Hillary is wiping the floor with Trump? Sure could be. Could it be the opposite? You bet.

I believe that the days of getting an accurate picture of the state of a race are over. We are flying blind here. You want trusted predoction, tune into the weather because that is probably more accurate than a political poll.
