Trump gains on Clinton, poll shows 'rigged' message resonates
Reuters ^

Posted on 10/21/2016 5:53:52 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gained on his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton among American voters this week, cutting her lead nearly in half, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling released on Friday.

The polling data showed Trump's argument that the Nov. 8 election is "rigged" against him has resonated with members of his party.

"Remember folks, it's a rigged system," Trump told a Pennsylvania rally on Friday. "That's why you've got to get out and vote, you've got to watch. Because this system is totally rigged."

Clinton led Trump 44 percent to 40 percent, according to the Oct. 14-20 Reuters/Ipsos poll, a 4-point lead. That compared with 44 percent for Clinton and 37 percent for Trump in the Oct. 7-13 poll released last week.

Everything he says is true. Everything she says is a lie. The difference could not be more stark.

This race is going to come down to the wire!!!

All the polls missed BREXIT ....except the online polls.

https://yougov.co.uk/news/2016/06/28/online-polls-were-right/

Online polls, in fact, consistently put the Leave vote ahead by 1.2 percentage points in the Brexit polls, compared to live phone surveys that gave the remain camp a 2.6 point lead, reports The Huffington Post. The same patterns where seen by the Ethics and Public Policy Center, which tracks conservative politics in the United States and Europe, reports The Atlantic.

Reuters/IPSOS online poll did very well in the Presidential election in 2012

Even this rigged poll is showing Trump gaining support. I guess they need to find a way to change their methodology.

But all of FOX CNNews is saying the election is over and only a matter of how far over 300 EVs she has. This poll must be wrong.

I’ll tell you what folks —

After flipping around the cable networks a bit tonight, the level of propaganda and spin is so high it’s almost unbeleivable. One guy on CNBC actually corrected himself when saying “if” Trump loses and restated it as “When Trump loses..”. Just incredible.

But ask yourself, why is this? Is this the way a team that is 2 touchdowns ahead in the 4th quarter acts? Or are they more often cautiously optimistic that their team will hold it’s lead and win, but highly aware that “anything can happen”?

I say these people are beside themselves with fear and the only way they can continue going on the air is by putting up this false front of unrealistic confidence. Their heads are trying to convince their guts that it’s true.

If Trump loses, we’re going to have to figure out what do do next, because it will only have been through the psy ops and propaganda war waged by the DMC (Democrat-Clinton-Media) complex.

caught a bit of Kelly File, Larry Sabato was saying “it’s over, people have decided” etc and even Kelly came back with three examples where Trump was counted out for dead and came back and regained the lead (in their phony polls) in only a couple of weeks.

Either Trump is going to lose by the landslide the media and pollsters are convinced of, or there is not going to be enough humble pie for them to eat for a year!

“Reuters is dem + 14”

If true that means Trump has a nice lead.

You can tell the actual voting is drawing neigh when Reuters and other MSM outlets start to have more accurate polls, rather than those that reflect their hopes and dreams. They have to try to salvage some semblance of credibility.

Sabato makes me sick. He is old-school. He just can’t imagine the possibiliy of a wave, much less of a Brexit. But Pat Cadell can.

Of course, Reuters has Trump treating this idea as if it came up in a focus group somewhere. They just don’t get what’s going on.
