Based on the 0.1-0.2% daily swings over the past week or so, a full 2% swing is huge

Media and other polls and the effect they have on voters perception of the race is clearly shown in this poll. A month ago, Clinton was 5 points ahead of respondents when queried as to the predicted winner. Now, she leads in this category by 20.

Pray that this deluge of bad news all over the media doesn’t suppress the normally not voting Trump supporters we are counting on to shock the world. It’s clear that this is the intention of ridiculous polls like yesterdays ABC poll.

These MSM polls can swing 2 points this way, 6 points that way purely because Cankles propaganda-media want them to. If Trump was up 10 in this poll I still wouldn’t trust it. The meme between now & the election is “It’s over for Trump.”

Do not believe it. Do not feed into it. Get out and vote!

Vote Trump 2016

Remember the NY Times story on "How One 19-Year Old Illinois Man is Distorting National Polling"?

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-daybreak-poll-questions-20161013-snap-story.html

If the participants were not pledged to secrecy regarding participation they can tell their friends they're part of the poll. My concern was that this news story could now distort the poll -- since the group would not as completely anonymous.
