Make the polls great again
We’ve said all along that a Trump surge in national polling is absolutely meaningful, not because the race is decided on a national basis - it obviously is not - but because a real national surge will inevitably be reflected in state-by-state polling. And perhaps the most delicious news of this or any day is that the best news for Trump in quite some time comes from Hillary’s committed sycophants at CNN, of all places:
Among likely voters in Ohio, Trump stands at 46% to Clinton’s 41%, with 8% behind Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2% behind Green Party nominee Jill Stein. In Florida, likely voters split 47% for Trump to 44% for Clinton, within the poll’s 3.5 percentage point margin of error, and with 6% behind Johnson and 1% backing Stein.
Wow +19% female. Trump maybe on the precipitous of winning NY LoL.
Keep those internals comming. :)
We’ve all heard the old adage ‘you can indict a ham sandwich.’
Well now the Dems are attempting to run a ham sandwich at the top of the ticket.
Wait...that’s not fair. A ham sandwich would be someone along the lines of a Tim Kaine: anodyne, anonymous, uninspiring.
Instead, they yielded to some unseen, longstanding, bizarre ‘rule’ that Hillary would be on the ticket after losing fair and square to a party rival in 2008.
Assuming the DNC actually wanted to WIN, what the hell were they thinking? Even the most bloodthirsty member of NARAL or Planned Parenthood is ambivalent at best about Hillary due to her ethical bypass. Her party brethren avoid her. She’s been on the national stage for nearly three decades and has NOBODY not on her payroll saying positive things about her. The best they can offer is ‘she’s not as bad as she’s portrayed.’ Real helpful stuff, that.
There is a huge (YUGE!) difference between being viewed ‘unfavorably’ and being reviled by at least 30% of the nation. In the former instance you might pick up the odd vote anyway or keep a neutral from voting full stop because he doesn’t like his choice. If you are hated then the ‘broken glass’ crowd will make sure every last anti-Hillary vote is cast.
It’s one thing to nominate a candidate then attempt to counteract or even reverse negative impressions that are often superficial. It’s quite another to nominate a candidate who has been as welcome and appealing as sand in a swimsuit for 25 years.
Or I’m sorry up 4, but still... Why mention Georgia is close at 6% when she’s losing CO by 4% lmao
Its a blowout in Arkansas... where they know Hillary best.
His highest total next to IN.
“Trump doesn’t need PA to win the nomination.”

I believe W won both times without it.
Would be nice, though. Tired of living in a “blue” state.
So Emerson has Trump up by 6% in CO over Hellary.
Time for someone to do another thread for CO. Hellary is free fall and she can’t get up. ;)
Looks like Trump is up +6 in Georgia looking at the graphic.
lol no no no, I fixed in #23. He’s up 4 n CO, not 6, but why are they talking about Georgia being close??
I think the nomination has been settled.
+4 in CO is still great for Trump, which is double (+2 Trump) from a recent CO poll. I’d do a thread on it but gotta do something at the moment. I’m sure someone will. :) He’s starting to kick ass now.
Probably why the NY DA just opened an investigation of Trump, to poison the polling pool.
-PJ
Yet, with all the dirty politics going on, I would be hesitant to put my money on a Trump victory. America has become another Venezuela.
How can the LSM never mention the fact that Hillary is losing her home state of Arkansas by 28% freakin’ points!? (Trump 57% to Hillary’s 29%)
Hillary will say her home state is New York, the same as Trump.
I apologize on behalf of my state.
If Staten Island was a state (probably has almost as many people as the least populated state) we would be RED!!!
“I was curious, so I went and looked. At this same point in 2012, Romney was up +1.3 in FL, and Obama was up +4 in OH, in the RealClear Politics average poll.
Now in 2016, the RCP Average has Trump +.7 in FL, and Trump +1 in OH.”
If you look at the details from August 20th through September 15th (the recent period we’re looking at) both years in FL and Ohio Obama led in almost all the polls in the range of one to eight points and the few ones Romney led in were either gop firms or Gravis also a gop leaning firm and one with not a good track record in 2012 in the range of one to two points.
Trump this year leads in more polls in this basic time period in FL and Ohio in the range of two to five points.
Also democrat registration leads have been greatly reduced in both states from 2012.
True! LOL!
Blue collar workers, and African Americans are both groups who can benefit from a Trump administration.
If he makes his case there, then the bandwagon voters will naturally support Trump. As soon as he starts to look like the winner, he will become the winner.
The debates, and lots of appearances in Detroit, Flint, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia will seal the deal.
Rhode Island? Wow!
I live in Florida , and I AM DEPLORABLE.
