Trump’s leads in West Virginia and Georgia are meaningful for different reasons
The Coach's Team ^ | 5/10/16 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

A recent poll in West Virginia finds Republican Donald Trump with a large lead over Democrat Hillary Clinton. The numbers are 57/ 30 in favor of Trump.

They show the continuing shift of Party preference in West Virginia and open the possibility of a very serious problem for Clinton. While it is true that even the hapless Mitt Romney beat Barack Obama in West Virginia in 2012 by 62/35, the data that should be very worrisome for Clinton is the 13 points of “Undecided” found in the poll.

The 57/30 spread favoring Trump gives him a growth potential for hitting a 70/30 spread at best and likely at least a 67/33 beating for Clinton. Among Independents Trump leads 62/23 and with 14% undecided, this suggests a possible final spread of 72/28 for Trump.

The similarities between West Virginia, rural Pennsylvania and Coal Country Ohio make these numbers very good news for Trump.

In Georgia, a Landmark/RosettaStone survey shows Trump currently with a thin 43/42 lead over Clinton, but the survey’s internal numbers show lots of danger for Clinton.

For those numbers make it clear that Clinton is not closing the sale with Black voters. She is leading “just” 73/9 (very low for a Democrat) but with 17% of Backs saying they are undecided she could be facing an even bigger problem.

This portends a very strong chance that Trump could...

It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Obozo has all but killed the coal industry, could it?

Thirteen percent of W. Virginia’s electorate can’t make up their mind? After all they’ve endured from the anti-coal party?

That’s a little hard to believe.

Never accept the face value of the selling media meme.

In order to know the “Trump is in trouble with women” meme, you also have to look at other section for the whole picture.

In this case, Doug Book (the author) dig deeper and presented a good refreshing overall outlook.

If Clinton’s 44% with women and 73% with African Americans in the old South’s most cosmopolitan state is the best she can do, she has lots of work ahead of her.

She has two options. One is to get out of her shell and actively campaign for those constituencies that theoretically should be hers. The other is voter fraud in inner cities. I suspect we all know which option will be chosen.

A look back at Rat primaries past.

In West Virginia, mountain politics has NOT ended as the recent assault on one candidate has shown. It may not be as bad/funny as it was, but $#!t still happens. The concurrent “NON-PARTISAN” judicial elections that are being held today are also seeing some strange doings according to a state-wide radio call-in show I’m listening to.

Lots of people in the state have nothing to do with coal mining. Most of them consider themselves Democrats because their great grandparent or grandparents had a picture of FDR hanging on the wall.

In reality they’re conservatives. They didn’t go for Gore, Kerry or Obama.

But she’s sorry...and just wasn’t understood.

There are black people who prefer gainful employment to free stuff from the government titty. I’ve worked with quite a few of them in my lifetime.

Personally, I’d like to see her repeat the “What-difference-does-it-make!” statement she made during the Congressional hearings. It might even result in some lumps of coal flying her way!

If Trumpbhas to spend money in Georgia, he is in big trouble.

This is an early poll that is filled with much more trouble for Hillary Clinton. Trump is NOT the one with the problems in Georgia; those who think he is haven’t spent much time thinking about the situation. No Democrat can survive with 73% Black support, none; ever.
