How is it polls can change so quickly ? Trump had been behind only few percentage points , and even leading some polls now all of a sudden he is behind by 10 percent or more? People just don't change minds that quickly ! Other news points to remarks he made about Khan as one reason his support has dropped , but even a gold star father on CNN this week when asked if Trump should apologize, had no idea what comments he made against that needed apology ? Then Obama comes out this week and says, there can't be election fraud if trump is up in the polls also implying since Hillary is way up , it will be impossible to cheat. Then are trump's numbers being reported as double digits behind Hillary now and for phony made up reasons so people will believe the change in the polls all to hide the election fraud that's about to take place in a he next 100 days ?

Dismissing polls, especially amalgamated polls, as fraudulent is a loser strategy.

Identfying and addressing the problems that are causing the polls to plunge is the better response.

Trumps missteps and poor decision making over the last month is the issue and he needs to get better if he is to vanquish the witch.

These are the same people who said he would never win the Primary.

He beat 16 seasoned veterans.

HilLIARy had to cheat to beat a doddering old communist.

They’re reporting a PREDICTION. They’re reporting endless commentary on a prediction.

They’re not reporting REALITY.

REALITY is Trump is speaking to arenas of thousands and thousands of people several times a day, Clinton struggles to fill a school gym.

Where are the reports of REALITY?

Where is the commentary on REALITY?

The media magicians are brainwashing you! SNAP OUT OF IT! Demand that they report REALITY not predictions.

What’s changed? Media stopped the generic attacks against Trump and found some very specific attacks that strike body blows. ‘Crying baby’, ‘attacks against a dead solder’s grieving father’, these are hitting flesh rather than sliding off.

Media were advertising for Trump when they were talking about his building a wall between the US and Mexico and laughing about Mexico paying for it.

And you can expect this pattern to continue; overwhelming pushing of every story that they find tests well with audiences (we’ve already seen the e-mails that the DNC uses to control the media), and every misstep by Bill Clinton’s 3rd term team utterly ignored.

They are in lockstep right now, as evidenced by the universal descriptor of Trump’s speech as ‘dark’ (which of course started before he even spoke a single word...)

The only silver lining is that had these attacks stopped as soon as they showed they were being effective, I’d be deeply worried. Instead, they are pressing the attack. Which means there will be a limited cycle it will run, and Trump will likely bounce back.

Oh, and of course, every matrix in every poll is maxed for Bill Clinton’s wife. Which means automatically adding in the margin of error to Hillary, and subtracting it from Trump to make the gap as wide as possible.

Polls changed quickly because Trump makes mistakes, has not united Republican support, and 90% of the media is proClinton and antiTrump. His errors are magnified and Clinton’s are ignored.

Let’s just refer to HilLIARy as “Rapist-enabler HilLIARy” from now on

Every single time. “Crooked HilLIARy” works too but this is more specific and ties-in the bent one.

With 50% of the sheeple following what the media says, you’ll have that.

Retards, all of them.

I don’t know a single person that has moved toward Hillary from anywhere.

I suspect this is all scripted, and the Diebolds are being programmed as we speak.

It’s all BS!

Trump said “Why didn’t the woman speak?” and his poll numbers tank? Makes no sense.

I don’t believe polls. We all know polls are rigged. It is an attempt to sway voters. Trump is not losing support, I don’t think. Hillary is, and will continue, IMO.

We all need to remember this fact. A Trump victory in November means the end of the MSM, GOPe, RAT corruption, and expanding government control. This election is for all of the marbles and our enemies will do anything they possibly can to hang onto their influence and power. I believe they will do anything, including murder, to stop us from re-claiming our country.

Clinton Media Polling – CNN: “Now She’s So Far Ahead There’s No Need for an Election”…

Exhausted from campaign events where she is constantly hounded by by dozens of supporters, Hillary might just need to take a vacation.

There’s really nothing to do until football season starts and there’s a debate on the calendar, and do we really need debates at this point? I mean a two person debate will be so boring, what with Hillary being so magnanimously intelligent, and the vulgarian Trump being so, well, less than that…

Meanwhile, for some odd reason, tens of thousands of people keep showing up to these Donald Trump rallies and Town Halls. I mean like, really, what are these people thinking?

It is August 5. Of course Trump isn’t on top yet

To say it’s a trend when trump hasn’t even figured out what to do yet is what they’re going to do

To believe them is pure silliness

Just remember that the most recent poll showing Clinton ahead by 10 pts was a sample of registered voters not likely voters and over weighted Dems by a hundred people. Not likely accurate.

When did Newsweak start using: A NBC/Wall Street Journal national survey found Trump trailing Clinton by 9 points (up from five points last month).

Remember how Trump lost every primary according to Rupert Murdoch's lying mediots using push polls/NBC/Wall Street Journal national surveys for Faux's unfair and unbalanced weekend Trump bashing shows?

Reagan won by over 15 points in 1984. It was eighteen I believe, so this Goldstein was way off on that.

Otherwise, this article may unfortunately be true. Unless you just reject polling altogether, how could one be comforted and buoyed by the lead Trump took in the polls two weeks ago, but now reject the same polls when they show him falling and (even worse) Hillary rising?
