Donald Trump Is Not Beating Hillary Clinton In The Polls, No Matter How Many Times He Says It
By Philip Bump March 24
Donald Trump legitimately does not care about what polls actually say; he cares about what he can say about the polls.
He likes to talk about polls because polls are usually pretty good for him, at least since last July when he stormed into the lead in the Republican field. Polls serve as validation for his dominance, and so he talks about them as a slightly more subtle way of calling himself a winner. Last September, he suggested that he put so much weight on the polls that if his support started to crumble, hed drop out. Obviously that didn't happen.
Theres one set of polling that Trump likes to talk about, though, that is at odds with this pattern. Trump frequently talks and tweets about how polls show him beating Hillary Clinton, when in fact polls almost always show the exact opposite.
Since Jan. 1 of this year, Trump has led in only five of 39 polls, including only two of the 16 that used live callers.
Since voting began, Trump has beaten Clinton in precisely one of the 29 polls that have been conducted.

Citing the feeble Establishment/Media propaganda (a.k.a. "push polls") as a source for the American People to get their voting advice?
It also sounds like something an Establishment water-carrier would do.
You see, the Establishment knows that these figures aren't likely to stay where they are over time. If they really wanted Hillary to face Trump, they'd instead bury such information.
So, tell us, Steelfish, why do you think the Mass Media is pushing such stories? If Donald Trump will be so easy to beat for Hillary, why wouldn't the Hillary-loving Mass Media STFU and let it happen, thus easily putting her in the White House?
Makes one wonder, eh, Steelfish?
I await your answer.
Meanwhile, I say "bring it on". It'll be a clarifying moment for those of us who wanted the Revolution to be bloodless.
If it has to be the other kind as a result of Hillary being elected and the Establishment staying in power, then so be it.
So keep trying to win friends and influence people with your sh!t propaganda, you Establishment water-boy, you...
YEB BUSH can't beat her losing those States
Polls said Carter trounced Reagan.
Pollsters Lie.
I have a B. S. in Statistics and much experience in forming surveys.
I believe no surveys, especially ones formed by the establishment which is in cahoots with the MSM.
Name me a poll that isn’t.
1) its inconvenient
2) its inconvenient
3) its inconvenien
So continue to live in the Trump bubble were a 50 state landslide awaits...rofl
Even those of us who back Cruz understands he would have an uphill battle in the general
He’s going to get creamed. Could lose every state, which would make Hillary the new George Washington since Washington is the only President who had a unanimous electoral college vote.
10 debates wasn’t enough? By my reckoning, it was about 8 too many.
Good to see that the compost cares so much about the Republicans. Look how they are trying to help us pick the best candidate to beat Hitlery.
Do you have a poll that’s taken outside the Trump bubble to prove Steelfish wrong or is all you got is name calling?
Maybe you can get a Twitter account and tweet all day like your boy....lol
Cruz wont beat her. Trump may or may not beat her, but he is our best bet to win this year. Suck it up.

#scumbagtrump will beat her in the tabloids!
Hes going to get creamed. Could lose every state, which would make Hillary the new George Washington since Washington is the only President who had a unanimous electoral college vote.
Echoing Hillary.
will not let you make a lot of friends here.
My prediction - It is possible that she gets charged for her felonies. A long shot - but possible.
In comes The Squaw. The every 4 year voters are that dumb, the Squaw will win. (will be positioned as a cross between Hitlery and Bernie).
“I dont see how Cruz can get enough cross-over voters to win,”
I don’t see it either. Trump has the best chance with his Regan style coalition.

You should be able to prove the OP wrong with a counter poll, then...right?
And I mean something more than “everyone I know is voting for Trump.”
Will you still be coming in here after Trump wins the election????
and i dont care how often the D-party-mouthpiece Wash Post... prints this same BS
Trump will THUMP Hillary!
Hillary’s got more baggage than American Airlines, and Trump will expose all of it!
