Looks like they have discovered a new way to cook the numbers. Notice the excerpted question is the dead last question in the poll.

Bill Mitchell has pointed this out. Polls have been sampling 50+ college educated when their turnout numbers are around 30.

Also looks like they’re losing a firm grip on reality.

When Trump wins, we will have to label the left as alt-reality.

Please, by all means Dems, start spending/campaigning more in Texas. Give it your best!

I’m telling you, this is a ploy to depress donations to Republicans and Trump. We can see through it, but those that don’t follow this stuff like we do are going to fall for it. Hopefully that won’t be that many people.

They call him Mr. Brexit, yeah!

In 2012:

High school or less 24%
Some college or associate degree 29%
College degree 29%
Postgraduate 18%

I’m prettu sure that Houston will vote for Trump due to the high unemployment among O&G engineers and scientists. They all hope that the O&G business will return under a Trump administration.

This poll is backed up by the witch’s speech schedule where she has rallies throughout Texas - oh wait...

[matt1234]

Are those national numbers or Texas numbers? What is the source?

[longtermmemmory]

Spanish language TV is MERCILESS anti-trump every single second. 100% over the top bias.

on top of that,

the hippie evirowacko channels are doing a hippie college voter push.

[right-wingin_It]

I think if you look at the corporate media polls, Trump does better with polling from Registered Voter surveys than likely voters, based on their likely voter criteria. What they are saying is supposedly the electorate changed their mind and Clinton now will have the motivated “likely voters”. I doubt that..how can a motivated voter for Trump flip 180 to be motivated for Hillary. I think its more plausible they change their criteria, or just plain throwing the criteria out the window like here.

[DallasBiff]

This is pure BS. They must of have polled Austin(Travis County).

I have not seen one Hellary sticker.

[Dawgreg]

This crap has made this “high school” graduate and Hub even more determined to vote Trump as well as our 2 college-educated kids and our granddaughter in college right now and our 20 year old grandson in college right now and they’ve all had discussions on Trump vs Beastie with their friends and classmates and all are voting Trump! Screw RCP!!

Texas a toss up? Laughable. They’re just trying to get Trump to spend money here.

[Lent]

Big MSM voter suppression push down the stretch.

[arl295]

The media clowns are trying to get Trump to spend money (on them)

I think he should stick to doing as many rallies as he can

TV commercials are so 1990’s

nobody listens to them anymore

[eekitsagreek]

Are those national numbers or Texas numbers? What is the source?

The post election results are national from NBC News. I am trying to find Texas numbers.

[MMaschin]

I live in Austin, there is a lot more support here for Sanders, than Hillary. And half of the Sanders supporters hate Hillary with a passion.

Trump will win Texas by at least 15 points. The fact that they are rigging polls in Texas, shows how desperate they are to push this 'Hillary has already won' narrative.

There is almost NO support for Hillary in Texas!

[al_c]

They are trying really hard to make sure GOP voters stay home with the “why bother voting” trickery.

[MMaschin]

Texas a toss up? Laughable. They’re just trying to get Trump to spend money here.


No, they are trying to convince people - "look, even Texas is a tossup! Hillary has already won!". They are doing that to increase enthusiasm for Hillary, and decrease it for Trump.

[Ted Grant]

I’d like to think so
