My guess is that this poll is about right.
I kinda agree with you, but Trump hasn’t opened up yet with paid on-air ads. I have a feeling all hell will break loose after the conventions.
Most voters won’t pay attention until September/October. That’s when Trump will come out with both barrels blazing, IMO.
Six down isn’t irreversible.
That hillary could be anywhere on any level with anyone else, is beyond the pale. She is wicked.. she is damaged goods and she is a criminal.. oh yes.. and she is a liar.. plus hating this country and all the people in it.
I agree. Look, there isn’t a national poll he is winning in right now. The general numbers from most polls is around 5-6 percent down. Ignoring the polls and pretending everything is good is not in our best interest because people did that in 2012. I seem to remember it in 2008 as well. Ignore the polls, they would say. Ignore them. The media lies. Well, the polls turned out to be right.
It is June, and there are things that I feel Trump needs to do better. For example, why wasn’t he hitting on the Benghazi report? I know he did a big job’s speech, but he did two rallies after the Benghazi report came out and didn’t hit on it. It reminds me of when the IG report came out on Hillary’s emails. That wasn’t hit on immediately like it should have been. Also, the book came out from the Secret Service officer decimating the Clintons. It’s already at the top of the best seller list. He needs to hit on this stuff more.
I heard him at his rally talk about how he won the primaries without a bunch of ads referring in part to media attention. He talked about how his competitors spent so much on ads, but he won. That’s true. He wondered about needing ads in the general. He will need ads and need a lot. Sure, he got a lot of media attention in the primary, and he’s getting a lot now. However, it’s almost all negative. The media is in the tank for Hillary. Ads are going to be his way to bypass the media and speak directly to the American voter about why Hillary is corrupt and why he is a better candidate.
We, as in his base, see through the media spin on Trump. However, outside of the base, there are many voters who will follow the media spin; that’s why the polls are like they are. Imagine if the media spent time hitting Clinton like they did Trump.
