Tom Bevan: Donald Trump Is Narrowing The Polling Gap
Real Clear Politics ^ | September 6, 2016 | Tim Haines

Fox Business Network host Stuart Varney interviews RCP cofounder Tom Bevan about

STUART VARNEY: Tom, this is the start of the fourth week of what I am calling the New Trump. He appears to be narrowing the gap. According to RCP is that accurate?

TOM BEVAN: Absolutely. Clinton left her convention and recieved a bounce, and in both of our averages -- the two way and the four way -- She was ahead by over 7%. She got up to a 7.5, almost 8% lead over Trump.

And that lead has now -- that lead has been whittled down to 2.5% in the four-way, and just over 3% in the two way race. So, no question that Trump has tightened, I think Trump had a pretty good week last week and Clinton had another week of bad news. The CNN poll [Monday] is the first poll we have seen that has some of that incorporated into it.

VARNEY: Is that the story within the story? A new Trump on focus, on target, on script, on teleprompter, doesn't say rash things --particularly-- versus the same old, same old Hillary reacting to endless scandals. Is that the story behind the narrowing of the gap in the polls?

BEVAN: I think that is part of it. You have had Trump, one of the things he did last week, if you buy the argument, as most people do and the data bares this out, that Trump's biggest hurdle to get over, his biggest drawback, is the idea he is unfit to be president, doesn't have the right temperament or experience. What we saw last week with his trip to Mexico; where his standing there, looks very presidential, that helped bolster him....

yep every day we see the 100 year old grandma have a seizure or a 20-minute coughing fit, her poll numbers just climb and climb! She is especially hot with the kids- she’s hip and happening and they find her cool. And black people- they can’t wait to vote for an old White woman! Everybody is excited!

Wait til Hitlery hoarks up a lung about 20 minutes into the first debate. Or tomorrow night at the presidential forum.

Is RCP really reliable?

They are still polling some of Hillary’s old bounce hence why she is still leading!!!!

There’s no narrowing going on. Trump has always led.

Yes good chance she will chicken out of the debates. If she coughs even one time tomorrow night, there’s no way she’ll risk it.

Good point, about the debate, during the Bernie debate she had a coughing spell that was so bad they had to suspend the debate for 10 minutes and her excuse was that she had to use the potty, and there was a line, A LINE? And no one called her on it. If she leaves the stage I hope Trump calls her on it and uses it to point out her bad health.
