The GOP nominee has a nine-point advantage among men, while his Democratic rival posts an identical lead among women. Women voters are slightly more likely than men to be sure of their vote.

Forty-six percent (46%) of voters think Clinton is qualified to be president versus 35% who feel that way about Trump

National polls are a barometer. But state by state polls are better.

And, I imagine that Trump supporters are more inclined to vote. For Dems? I don’t think they are as jazzed.

“Finally motivated by TRUMP to join and contribute”

Oh, of that I have no doubt.

As a woman, I can tell you she wore a plastic face at the debate. The makeup was very heavy and she never deviated from her practiced grin, sort of like a robotic doll.

She is a conniving woman. Totally unlikeable.

UPI had Romney ahead by 3 on October 11, 2012; one can look that up. We have to keep on.

“Sean Trende on RCP tweeted after the first debate that if she was only up 1-2% after one week she’d be in real trouble.”

Most polls assume that Hillary will get the Obama turnout (D+6) but the bottom line is that nobody knows. She may very well get the Kerry turnout (R+4).

That’s why she already spent over 200 million in ads while leading in the RCP average.

It’s not good in that Trump was up 44%-39% before the debate, so a 6 point swing to Clinton. Trump should never have agreed to debate. He should have announced back at the first of the year he wasn’t going to participate.

In the first debate of 2012 Mitt Romney had what was considered the best debate performance in modern history, by roughly a 70/30 margin, the polls said he beat Obama. Romney jumped out to a four point lead over Obama within a few days of the debate. Unfortunately, a week later his lead had completely evaporated and by the 2nd debate two weeks later, the race was already back to the 2 point Obama lead it had been before the first debate.

The moral of the story is. Does being perceived as "winning" a debate really matter? Maybe for a few days to a week after the debate it does. But 41 days from now, when people are headed to the polls, they are not going to be voting on who scored the most points in a debate that occurred six weeks prior.

Last time, Rick Santorum got me back interested in politics; it does happen everyone and I became active in supporting a candidate.

Polls are tools for rigging the system by influencing people’s thinking processes. The more they get to stay home because some dippy poll said it would be a waste of time the better.

How do you know the poll numbers aren’t just phony-facts like Al Gores climate “data”? Because it says “Rasmussen”? Whose side is “Rasmussen” on? You do know Scott Rasmussen left in 2013, right? The majority shareholder is a NYC-based private equity company:

Which has investments in a bunch of small media outfits:

Wonder what their politics are?

Doesn’t state DNC vs. GOP in polling percentages. Very suspect.

Have you viewed the Hannity/Gingrich interview after the debate? It is on youtube. False the creator of Dilbert wrote a piece after the debate claiming in his opinion Trump won the election at the end of that debate. One final thought; Gallup is showing dem willingness to vote at a sixteen year low. If you look at Hillary vs Trump rallies, this is played out to a tee. And one last indicator of a Trump win, like Trump jow, Obama was pulling in massive rally numbers and commanded social media in 2008.

Trump is going to win. May not be a crushing landslide as some desire, but it will be by at least 4 pts. Maybe 300 electoral college

They were found yesterday as well. Simply amazing to begin a count on those who will be seen in the next weeks. Like flies to honey, they simply cannot resist.

Many on here do tend to be a bit bipolar. A polls shows Trump gained a point, they start setting off fireworks and popping champagne corks, the same poll shows Hillary gains a point the next day and they are getting the cyanide and straight razors out ready to end it all.

Best bet, in my opinion, work and fight to get Trump elected like he's 10 points down no matter what the polls say. And remember, the only "poll" that actually matters is the one on November 8th, focus on that and tune out all else...

Do presidential debates usually matter? Political scientists say no.
