Hillary Clinton took the lead in five key battleground states following the first presidential debate, giving her a solid boost with just over five weeks until Election Day, according to a poll released Thursday.

Voters in the five states — Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia — also declared Clinton the winner of the much-anticipated slugfest with Donald Trump, according to Public Policy Polling.

I know most of these polls over sample Dems, and Trump has the biggest rallies by far, but I worry that Hillary still has a lot of voters out there, they just don’t care about seeing her because they aren’t enthusiastic about her.

You know people who changed their minds?

I mean, obviously she did better in the debate overall, but you know people who changed their minds?

Communist faction of the Democrats? The entire party is now on a communist platform. Just look at what they rolled out at the convention.

Then compare with CPUSA’s platform. Not much daylight between them.

More bunkum from the New York press.

Their single-minded head-in-the-sand posture is actually rather laughable.

Apparently the folks who tabulate these polls at RCP weren’t impressed with these polls. Megyn Kelley’s guest from RCP addressed the strength of Trump in those states and made no mention of these particular polls.

PPP, though often accurate, has a penchant for getting “creative” with their sampling to achieve a particular desired result. Case in point: when Todd Akin (MO) blew up his candidacy and wiped away a near-sure win with those rape-related comments in 2012, PPP (remember, this is a democrat outfit) ran a “poll” that showed Akin leading Claire McCaskill by 1.

Looking at their sampling data, I found they’d wildly over-sampled GOP voters (R+9). What they wanted (and achieved) was a false narrative that the fatally damaged Akin could still win that race (forestalling replacement by the GOP), even though it was quite clear by then he’d effectively killed his candidacy. Citing that poll as “proof” he was still viable, Akin refused to step aside and went on to lose rather handily.

Odd, the USC Dornsife/LA Times Daybreak poll has it Trump 47.3 - Clinton 41.7.

It is a Demcorat poll. Take this one with the same grain of salt you would a poll released by the Trump campaign. There is a reason Real Clear Poltics puts a D next to this poll on their website.

Fight, fight, fight! The DIMs/LIBs/RINOs will do anything they can to make you stop fighting. NOTHING is beyond them: fake polls, trolls on FR, dishonesty, fake anything. These one-world, LIB malignancies need tromped and a stake driven through their hearts. Don’t believe what you read or hear in the “media”...all are compromised liars.

From reading many of your posts over the last months, it doesn’t seem likely you would know many people that could possible change their vote from Trump to Killary.

It was two. And I’m embarrassed to say it was the younguns of the family.

Dont worry. I WILL make sure the understand WHAT happened, WHY, and what hillary is, even if it means knocking heads.

I get dramatic like a b.tch. It’s a weakness when i get emotional. Sorry. only 2.
