Reuters/Ipsos Poll: Donald Trump Overtakes Hillary Clinton — Despite Altered Methodology
breitbart.com ^ | 2 Sep 2016

Posted on 09/02/2016 11:33:55 PM PDT by Helicondelta

The poll showed 40 percent of likely voters supporting Trump and 39 percent backing Clinton for the week of Aug. 26 to Sept. 1. Clinton’s support has dropped steadily in the weekly tracking poll since Aug. 25, eliminating what had been a eight-point lead for her.

Trump’s gains came as Republican support for their party’s candidate jumped by six percentage points over the past two weeks, to about 78 percent.

25% ? Let’s not go overboard. If he’s ahead and wins by 5%, that’s a landslide. Only once since the popular vote was tabulated has a candidate won by more than 25%, and that was Harding over Cox in 1920, where he got a jaw-dropping 26%+ (and 300 Republicans swept into the House, a feat never repeated).

Even the famous landslides came up short: FDR over Landon in ‘36 (24%), LBJ over Goldwater (22%), Nixon over McGovern (23%) or Reagan over Mondale (18%).

Red-Eye Radio, a late nite show that caters to the trucker crowd is very anti-Trump.

TRUMP is going to win by 10%

Donald Trump will defeat Hillary Clinton 52.5% to 47.5% in the popular vote and the probability is down to 87% from 97% predicts Professor Helmut Norpoth

“...he may very well win by 20% popular vote, but still lose electoral college.”

Whoever wins the popular vote by even 10%, to be conservative, will have an electoral landslide.

California, New York and Illinois, Ohio, Florida, are a major fraction of the popular vote.

Trump is on message and controls the agenda. That is how you win. Doesn’t hurt that HRC is in hiding, too. She can’t dictate the agenda from a bunker.

I’m just telling you what internal polls say.

It is true that Trump has the most votes of any Republican nominee, and that was split 17 ways.

Trump fills stadiums any where he goes across the country. While at the very same time Hillary has trouble even getting 300 people to show up to a rally.

Yet the main slime media wants us to believe that Hillary will win by a landslide.

Well the external polls are there to influence vs. reality.

This is why campaigns have “internal” polls. The real numbers in other words.

I have heard that the internal polls have Trump with any where from a 15 to 25% lead over Hillary.

For what it's worth tightly lipped Trump internal polling in mid-August had it Trump - Ohio +7%, Florida +10% to 15%, Pennsylvania +10%, and California +3%.

It explains why Hellary is running her ads in Commiefornia.

Loved the appearance in Philadelphia with grassroots-level community leaders. Cut through the layers. Connect directly with the people. Big city government is corrupt beyond redemption!

BTW Nate Silvers thinks Ipsos is biased against Trump by 2 points. Think of this bias as relative to the mass of polling.

Trump doesn’t need for black communities to vote for him. He just needs for them to be unenthusiastic about Clinton.

Bingo.

Some people think Hillary Clinton is trying to repeat William McKinley's 1896 Front Porch Campaign, but anyone who's seriously studied American history knows that McKinley received some 700,000 visitors (that's a lot back in the days when the railroads were pretty much the only way to get around reasonably quickly) and held frequent public speeches around his house in Ohio. Hillary has just about vanished, making few public appearances (and those public appearances are in small venues!) and nobody is going to visit Hillary at her home in Chappaqua, NY unless they're deep-pocketed donors.

Why aren’t people bringing up her thefts the last time she left the White House and what they did to all the keyboards?

Hitlary was responsible for raping the gifts that were given to the USA and subsequently had to return them back to the White House.

This needs to be said loud!

which is all he needs to win... given the red states that are already in the bag.

It’s all about how much of a crushing defeat Trump can muster. It NEEDS to be a slaughter, with liberals jumping off bridges... Massive coat tails... and weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth... into the flaming sea of outer darkness... and so on.

The left has destroyed our nation. They and the GOPe uniparty members, are responsible for the death of millions, globally. Millions of innocents dead here, in the security of their own mother’s wombs.

The eradication of the left... needs to be so extreme that it would take 10 generations to get a dog catcher elected.
I think it could be called “extreme venting” ...

If Trump ‘s numbers rise by 4-5 points everyone will start chasing the strong horse. She has to much baggage and serious health issues.

More like she’s re-creating Hitler’s 1945 Bunker Campaign.

At this point, it comes down to FL and OH.

If Trump starts to lead in PA or VA, then the Clinton team and the MSM will be in panic mode.

Their macho culture will prevent many of them from voting for a woman.

That's an excellent point. I hadn't really thought of that. It would be too funny if the Dems lost because of their own misogynistic base, since they never tire of claiming that we are the ones who hate women.

I only want to see state by state polls. I know they cost more, but I would like to see a poll of 1000 likely voters per state, then drop the states with huge Trump of Hillary margins. No doubt, these are often the internal polls.

.....if the election were held today, Trump could very well win by 20%
of the popular vote, but still lose in the electoral college.....

Good point, Bubba. The electorals is where the power/money-mad Clintons do their dirty work to steal the election.

=======================================================

TRUMP NEEDS TO DO THIS TO STOP THE CLINTONS' ELECTION HEIST:

<><> Require every voting machine to (a) post the tallies, (b) with a program dump every ten minutes (c) to a public website. (hat tip RavenLooneyTune)

<><> Take I-phone pics of any voting documents you are given..... AND take a pic of your voter sign-in page. If your polling place has a sign “no cell phone use beyond this point”, take I-phone pics INSIDE the voting booth....take a pic of you pulling the lever for Trump, for example.

<><> use your I-phone to photo your completed ballot showing your Trump vote and your voter number.

<><> photo your official precinct voter registration page.

<><> photo any perceived voter suppression/intimidation BLM-types lurking around the precinct, for example.

Keep the photos as evidence for Trump attorneys.. The Clintons will no doubt pull a shrewdie.....such as Trump gets no votes or Hillary gets 110% of those registered....lotsa similar stories reported in 2012. (hat tip extexasredhead)

<><> Keep on your person the phone number of your state's Secy of State.....they are the ones that check into voting irregularities. NOTE: Since the last midterm, most Secy of State are Republicans.

=============================================

Freepers working on the campaign, please suggest this to the Trump staff---urge the Trump campaign staff to establish a “how to report voter fraud” hotline and do so ASAP.

Put the information in a Trump ad with how to document it and report the fraud that was witnessed or heard about. It would be worth the expense.....anyone with fraud to report, do so immediately.

Urge the Trump campaign staff to have a team of lawyers ready to document all reports of voter fraud. Video proof would also be quite helpful with date, time, names (if possible). Perhaps there are retired law enforcement all over the country willing to donate their time to this effort. Veteran volunteers would be very helpful as well. (hat tip extexasredhead)

====================================

Trump needs to have this in place BEFORE the election:

<><> a database of every precinct in the country.

<><> a database of every address in the country.

<><> purchase datasets of people from Intelius and or Zabasearch.

<><> Merge all and see what pops up.

<><> get the Social Security death index. Make sure that if you are on the ssdi, you aren’t registered to vote.

<><>line up poll watchers for precincts with abnormal turnout.

As to the vote side: see if there is a way to demand a paper trail through the court system of the states. If the integrity check of the machines fails, ask for an order for paper ballots. Machine-only precincts have paper ballots in case of a power outage or hard drive crash. (hat tip BigEdLB)
