Stunning Numbers: Trump Leads Hillary in Rally Attendance by Half a Million People Since August
Gateway Pundit ^ | October 23, 2016 | Jim Hoft

This was a joke but there is more truth to it than anyone there may have known. Since the party conventions in July (from August 1st through Saturday, October 22, 2016) Hillary has participated in only 34 campaign rallies to Trump’s 87. Of Hillary’s 34 campaign rallies where she was present, only a dozen of these events had crowd estimated at over 1,000 people.

Donald Trump on the other hand held 87 events in the same time period of which only 7 had crowds estimated at less than 1,000. Most, if not all, of these small crowds for Trump were special campaign events where he gave speeches on foreign policy, childcare, or his recent Gettysburg address, for example. Trump has held 80 events with crowds more than 1,000 in this same time period with 16 of these events with crowds 10,000 or greater.

Trump averages more than 6,000 at his events while Hillary averages less than 1,000. Because Trump has many more events than Hillary, he averages getting in front of more than 6,700 per day compared to Hillary’s 380 per day in this time period. Because Trump has worked much harder he has 53 more events than Hillary, which has resulted in Trump having more than a half a million (530,000) more participants at his events than Hillary.

Hillary has taken 57 days off without participating in campaign rallies since July. She is either sick or her campaign thinks she’ll do better if she doesn’t get in front of people or her campaign doesn’t want to show the abysmal lack of interest in her and her events.

What's more stunning is that those Trump supporters have to figure out how to get away from work to go to the rallies.

Of course, Hillary's supporters have to figure out how to get away from the cemetery to get to the rallies. That's much harder and explains why attendance at Hillary's events is so much lower.

All the same, I’ll feel at ease when he wins on the 8th.

TRUMP has the enthusiasm. From rally crowds to ALL of Social Media, all of the enthusiasm is for TRUMP.

But, looking at the polls, all I can see is Trump trailing Hillary by BIG numbers. Not just a few polls, but in most. When I look at the Media, same thing.

Something is not jiving here. And I’m reminded how the polls told us that Hillary was going to win Michigan by 12, she lost to Bernie by two.

No way she is leading in the polls. They would show up to her rallies.

Actually the polls were worse than winning Michigan by 12. They predicted 27 point victory. And yes Hillary did lose by 2 points. That is a 29 point swing in what the polls were predicting and what the voters did.

Wonder why the pollsters have no traction now?

Big rallies are great, but even at ~600,000 total attendance, that’s only .5% of voters. So 99.5% of voters haven’t been to a rally, and only have seen the news coverage which is viciously slanted against Trump. So not sure these rallies are as effective as they might seem.

That's encouraging, but Hillary's main constituency, the dead, rarely attend rallies.

What it means is motivation.... people more motivated tend to vote more.... they are also more active getting others to vote..... even Democrats know she is crooked.... they just believe conservatives are the devils... whatever she did conservatives will do worse... get use to it........

She’d have twice the # of supporters as Trump but they can’t leave their cemetery for a ralley. Not allowed out except to vote.

The value of the Mexican Peso has been a good ‘poll’.
Good sign for Trump when it falls, good sign for Hillary when it rises.
When it was rising the media had several articles about how good that was for Hillary.

It’s falling.
There are no articles...

Plus I think it boosts the hidden Trump vote - quietly pro-Trump folks seeing Trump and Trump supporters berated on the news and on social media see those rallies and realize there is a lot of depth to that movement.

A humble 60 second remembrance of the NEEDLESS tragedy in Benghazi and how it SHOULD impact the coming November election! 4 American heroes died as Obama and Hillary made a mockery of the traditional and sacred military motto of “NO MAN LEFT BEHIND”.
DO WE CARE? DO WE EVEN REMEMBER??

Conventions are supposed to be a launch pad.

Clinton failed to launch.

The Convention was her high point.

He’ll need at least 100,000,000 vote to counter the massive FRaud the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist bastards are ginning up!

It is up to us to see that he gets them!

She has a crap product.

Trump’s product promises to produce real results his customers (voters) want.

“Something is not jiving here.”

1. MANY of the national polls have Trump within MoE, so you’re apparently only looking at the fake national polls, like NBC, WSJ, etc.

2. MANY of the national polls are fake, with ridiculous internals, like D+10, etc., LIKE NBC, WSJ, etc.

3. National polls don’t mean squat: tens of millions who are for Hillary in California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey that skew the national polls towards Hillary are meaningless: only the state polls in a half a dozen swing states mean anything at all, and pretty much all polling even there is suspect anyway to due to factors such as unknown accuracy of polls due to only 6% response rate, people lying or dodging the polls, etc.
