Would suggest that most polls’ estimates of likely voters would understate the effect of Trump’s drawing in a lot of new blood. That is to say, it would understate the Trump vote. (I really think he already has a slight lead.)
Trump loses Big to Bernie- Operation Choas!!! Californika Freepers cross over and vote for Hillary!
Polls are moving toward Trump. Can’t ignore the trend.
Nope. Trump needs the delegates, and he needs huge vote tallies to undermine the nevertrumpers. Crooked Hillary will win the nomination unless she is indicted, and if Trump did lose I would much rather have Crazy Bernie than Crooked Hillary.
If the American public learns more about Socialist Bernie his stock will drop like cement.
The latest trend in the polling is disastrous for the commie libs. Just last night the comrades at CNN were spinning the results of the 3 swing State Quin poll as outliers that under sampled minorities. Now with some National polls indicating that the Donald has dramatically closed within the margin of error, the leftists are realizing their biggest fears.
It’s not just the trend. It’s the enthusiasm factor. hillary doesn’t seem to have any enthusiastic supporters, no momentum, and she’s not winning over young voters.
It’s interesting how all the polls I’ve seen over the last week have shown this to be a very close race. It’s also interesting to note that Hillary has underperformed her polling in state after state against Sanders. Trump, on the other hand, has over-performed his polling in all but 2 primaries (VA and NC). Even in his big loss in WI he over-performed his Real Clear Politics average by .6 percent. In the primaries starting with NY to IN, he over-performed by an average of 9 percentage points.
If polling of a Clinton-Trump match-up also has this same flaw, Trump could actually be several points ahead at this point.
“If the American public learns more about Socialist Bernie his stock will drop like cement.”
That is a very big IF. The political right has had an ongoing, continuous opportunity to “sell” conservatism, and to “tear down” socialism.
They have performed poorly, to be generous.
A majority or near majority WANT socialism, in case you haven’t been paying attention.

No, Trump badly underperformed in OK, IA, LA, and TN.
I like Trump, but let’s stay accurate.
Trump is Hillary’s worst nightmare. Attacks don’t work on the man as all his ‘flaws’ (and flaws) are publicly known and publicly internalized, and the man hits back hard! Some Liberals think that Trump is a weak candidate, but what they don’t realize is (1) Hillary has a ton of issues as well, (2) people have real issues they are worried about (eg jobs, politics as usual, etc), (3) Trump is simply the most unconventional candidate in decades. While the election will not be simple, those who think Trump cannot win are quite likely to be very surprised.
Yup...enthusiasm for Trump has been there since the start, or fear that the Clinton’s will be back in the White House.
The felon is hearing the footsteps. Trump made up 12 points in one week on her on Reuters poll; from -13 to - 1 so this is more supporting evidence that the non-sense of “She’s kill Trump” is falling apart.
If using RV instead of LV is only an average change of 2 points to Clinton, that in and of itself is a terrible sign for her.
The task of getting her elected will prove too Herculean. People just plain don’t like her and there’s a lot of reason for that and oh she could be going to jail too.
Agreed.
I like Trump too but an honest, clear headed view is much better than Cheerleading.
Trump needs to continue to work on his message and avoid walking into Clinton traps.
attacks on Bill’ sex crimes are working...
I was a Cruz dude but did not by into the nevertrump BS. It was driven by "trump can't win", which I did not buy. Now that polls are even, the nevertrump thing will die.
