Medved - a talker head Trump hater...

I quit listening to Methhead years ago. He's even more irrelevant now. Maybe the treatments are affecting his judgment.

[Red Steel]

Trump brings it on himself because he has made a big deal of how great his poll numbers are while ridiculing other candidates with lower numbers. So he is an easy target on this one.

That's ok. As Trump is the best fighter in this election.

Here's a poll that never gets mentioned in the liberal and RINO press. It's a 5 day rolling poll with 550 to 600 respondents on a daily basis.

I don't even think Rooooters ever mentions it in their own articles. Notice it includes 2 days after the last debate.

The MSM and GOPe will not rest until they destroy Trump.

[Red Steel]

Medved once worked directly for a Communist.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Yeah. I have been saying the same thing for a while. The truth is that his poll are slipping a bit. He needs to minimize the cat fights. Trump also needs to focus more on the issues and introduce his policies at the debates.

[InterceptPoint]

I can’t disagree with any of your comments. And, as you point out and the MSM doesn’t seem to notice, the Carly Debate Bounce appears to be fading fast. I hope it continues.

The same story line has been re-posted over and over for a few days .

[Red Steel]

The 21% is the outlier Bloomberg poll. The others are all withing the margin of error.

Telling Michael Bloomberg what he wants to hear and likely shaded for that result.

I don't recall that. There's no way the average was 31, unless you included polls that no one would include, like the one that had him at 39%.

However, state-wise, he's pretty much where he's always been. A lot of shuffling at #2. I don't see him "slipping" at all.

[LS]

Even if true, the only relevant measure is his LEAD over #2. It was 6 points just before the debate. Where is it today?

[Red Steel]

That's fine. Trump is still talking about it as of 5 hrs ago.

"Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 5h5 hours ago Dishonest @politico just called to say that none of the polls including Fox, NBC, CNN, Zogby, & Morning Consult matter. Serious haters."

[LS]

So Trump’s lead in this is 23!!

[LS]

Where do you find this?

[LS]

Pretty hard to introduce anything at the debate when all the questions are not “what would you do about?” but “attack Trump.” It’s not just Trump, no candidate can seem to get his policies out-—which, of course, is the design.

Trump is right now playing ‘kitty slap the ball around’...

Wait until he gets his ducks in a row, closer to nomination time when Bush, Crispy Cream, Rand Paul, Snarly Carly, Rubio, Kasich, Pataki and the others are gone and there is only Cruz, Carson and Trump left....

Then and only then will you see the time of your life...I think there is a big huge surprise awaiting us then, and your not going to believe it until you see it..

It is going to shut the libs, msm, talking heads, ‘money bags’ Soros, super pacs down so far they won't know what hit them, and there won't be nothing left for them to do but to cry..

[Red Steel]

Yes it is 23% over his nearest rival that was on the 18th Sept for the five day rolling poll. I believe Reuters doesn’t publish their day-to-day results, but will after a couple of weeks or month or so of the aggregated, day-to-day results.

This is about 2800 to ~3000 respondents for 5 days that shows 36.8% for Trump.

In comparison, what did CNN have in their last poll? I believe I saw only 300 polled for the whole nation. A minuscule sample size.

[Red Steel]

Where do you find this?

Reuters - found here:

And read #36 too. :-)

Meanwhile, I wish he'd stick to the message of shaking things up in DC and waking up US citizens. Trump could stop talking so much about polls and say "when you hear what I want to do to make America Great Again we'll be unbeatable!" or something like that.

I'd like more vision, less who's winning and who's a jerk.

[LS]

Did you watch the speech? Most of it was the content you want: Common Core, Iran, trade, religious freedom.

[InterceptPoint]

I don't recall that. There's no way the average was 31, unless you included polls that no one would include, like the one that had him at 39%.

Trump wasn't there very long be he did hit about 31 on the RCP average. And, AFIK, RCP is the gold standard for poll averages. If there is a better one someone should point it out.

And, for the record, I'm not picking on Trump. Just pointing out the facts.

Here is the RCP data:
