Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump narrowed to 3 points this week after several days of controversy following FBI Director James Comey's recommendation that no criminal charges be brought against the former secretary of state over her use of a private email server.
One thing I am noticing is that polls are not so much in the news these days.
Polls are worthless until after the Republican convention. Do not forget the GOPe got their court ruling yesterday at ALL the delegates are unbound.
OH HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY
Now they can dumpTrump without fear. They can vote their “conscience”. They can nominate a candidate who will not embarrass them. We are now back to JEB or Cruz or Rubio or Kasich. Their party can now be purified.
Hillary by 10 or more points in the general, but it matters not, their party will be pure and sanctified.
(I think that there is a "Trump effect" in the polling. (The flip side of the "Obama effect".) It's politically incorrect to admit support for Trump. Consequently, automatic polling is likely to prove more accurate in this election. (Rasmussen had Trump up by 2 last week.)
It is not an issue.
A very sad day for America.
Saw a hillary bumpersticker today. Young woman driving.
Woman is going to get the short end of the stick. Keep it up girls.
I am a woman.........YOU BETCHYA! ; )
“How Trump is not ahead after last week is beyond me”
I think the media will make this look like a close race all the way to election day.
Also, Trump says some things that don’t do him any good. My wife hates Trump because of his conceit and ugliness (as she sees it).
The violence that is helping Trump began with Mexican flags & has morphed into #blacklivesmatter with Obama blaming guns and Hillary blaming white people.
Skyrocketing gun sales means more voters for Trump, IMO.
Personally I add 5 points to Trumps numbers when I look at any poll. Between the fact Trump is pulling in disenfranchised voters and Bradley Effect I assume he’s easily about 5 point higher than polls suggest.
Now am I just living in a self created delusion? Perhaps, we will find out in November, but polls showing Hillary with any measurable lead just don’t jive with any other empirical evidence out there.
Geez dude you are woefully uninformed re the effect of thecVA ruling. Try and pay more attention.
Geez dude you are woefully and probably STUPID.
Your wife and mine as well prove women should never have been given the vote. They run on pure emotion. This why they are so pitifully easy to manipulate.
He’s doing well with a lot of the conservative media attacking him along with the left, but I wish he’d pull ahead in the polls.
You’re wrong about the court’s ruling. What came down is the exact opposite of what you’re saying. Trump and the republican voters WON. Delegates will remain bound and must cast their votes according to the rules, in line with their state’s primary results.
Lol but I’m not the one who claimed the delegates were unbound when in fact they ARE still bound by the RNC rules.
I would inform you that DJT is now ahead in many polls (state polls). Hillary Clinton, the entire Democrat Party and, the Obamabot media is going to take a political beating come, November 8, 2016 like they dreamed of happening. End of story!!! Stay tuned....GO Donald J. Trump!!!
(However, considering a "Trump Effect" and that he's spent close to nothing on ads so far, I'm not discounting the Scott Adams prediction that he'll win in a landslide.)
Just tell democrats to go to th polls on Wednesday. They are stupid enough to do it.
This is half the problem with the silent majority - they are silent, which allows the narrative to continue and the fraud can be justified.
Until the right stands up, these monsters will never stand down.
Fully understand why you would keep your lips sealed - its no different over here.
There’s many a reason liberalism has been able to decimate the West - for me, the lack of voices on the right is a major one, hence why Trump surged - people found a voice. But one man will not be enough.
Ironically for a man as brash as Trump is it’s the massive Silent Majority who will put him over the top in November. The Dems are beginning to sense Hillary is a loser so expect the NeverTrump stories to come out en masse to scare the squish GOPe to dump Trump in Cleveland.
Internals? Prolly over-sampled for dems by 6-7%.
