Here's the debate polls that CNN will tell you don't matter.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Praying that these polls put him back ahead in the next week.
The most bothersome poll I have seen is Rasmussen.
I don’t care that is partisan mix is wrong or right. It is apparently constant. And Hillary moved up 7% on this morning’s poll, which was indeed pre debate, but post tape.
This would suggest strongly the tape peeled 7% off. They were tied prior to this poll.
If they changed methodology for this morning, then it can be dismissed.
But if it’s constant, it is a measure of impact of the tape event. Luntz said he got them all back via debate performance. We’ll see.
I notice the toady Clinton supporters are all over that twitter whatever it’s called. It certainly can’t be called a conversation.
But FoxNews says Hillary is up by 11%! Who are we to believe? /s
As sick and medicated Hillary is, I’m beginning to think it may be ol’ Bill who suffers the ‘big one’! Lol!
I think what happens is when the media have their faux outrage then some of the Trump voters become shy trump voters..
Huh?
The Clintoons are EVIL. We’ve known that going all the back to their days in Arkansas
Agreed. Note that Hillary only went up 2% to 45 and Donald went down about 4. I would be willing to venture that with the very strong performance he had in debate on Sunday night, his numbers will be at least back up to where they were before the tape and either tied or maybe even slightly ahead of Hillary.
As long as it is the same accuracy that ras had in 2012 it is good news for Trump
These polls probably reflect enthusiasm as much as anything else. The Clintonites don’t want to talk about it.
Breitbart and Drudge, I would expect Trump to be ahead obviously...but Time?
Praying for what? The “official” polls are BS. The polling companies are mostly Democrat campaigners and MSM classically does not want to show a runaway lead for either candidate before the last 2 or 3 days. If they did the subsequent polls would lose money. No one would pay attention to them.

As I said, don’t care if the partisan mix is right or wrong. The issue is that it is constant.
So the change this morning vs Friday would all be tape reaction (pre debate).
Post debate starts to appear tomorrow.
Bump for later
Polls that move up and down demonstrate that people are undecided. If they agree to answer the poll, then they feel pressure to name one, anyone. So the undecided give the pollster an answer..usually the one pollee thinks the pollster wants to hear.
But the undecided remains undecided. I went shopping for insurance today...and talked politics. Everyone in every agency was truly undecided. They truly didn’t like either Trump or Clinton and didn’t want to “waste” their vote on a 3d party candidate.
The agencies I went to have a large number of illegal clients paying for their big commissions. So as with most everyone I talk to, immigration is both Trumps weakness and his strength.
Immigration, more than any other real issue, splits the anti-Clinton voters.
I just had a contentious chat with a facebook friend who was solidly anti-Trump with avengence.
She was going on about how Trump was advocating sexual assault in the Billy Bush tape...and I was able to calmly ask her questions like if she considers it assault to grope a woman who is not willing vs a woman who is willing.
I was very polite and gave her a chance to explain, and she finally raged an "F--- you" at me. But later she calmed down. It was frustration I think. She abandoned the Trump tape stuff after that because there was nowhere to go and her position was impossible--she had asked me in a huff if Monica was sexually assaulted in my opinion, and I said no, because in that case it was consensual. The elephant in the room of certain other Bill Clinton cases lingered...and it was a dead end for her. She then changed focus to "yeah but who is better to run the country"...tacitly conceeding there was no reasonable way to disqualify Trump on the tape matter.
I think that after a week maybe two and the story's effect on the polls will be gone, and might shift to a back lash aka Bill Clinton/Leiwnsky did--becaused the crazies at the Huffington Post will be trying to push the sex stuff from now to election day and people will be sick of it.
