Watch what happens. The polls won't getting real until until the final week of the election when their reputations are at stake.

I don't worry about the polls.

Democrat voter fraud is what concerns me most.

At this point, polls aren’t about GAUGING opinion. They are about CREATING opinion. For that reason, we should be concerned.

The following national polls currently have Trump and Clinton within the margin of error-LA Times-Dorsife, UPI, Bloomberg, Reuters, Rasmussen and Gravis. This, despite the fact that most are using a 2008/2012 turnout model, i.e., oversampling blacks and Dems. Some oversample women, too.

IOW, relax is right.

When Trump announced his candidacy i made the prediction then that he would, in effect, get someone else elected but not a GOP candidate. My rational was that he’d split the vote whether he got the nomination or note. If he got the nomination people wouldn’t be able to hold their nose and pull the lever. If he didn’t he’d claim he was shafted and run a third party ticket splitting the vote ala Ross Perot.

I wavered in that belief after the convention but have returned to that point of view. Obviously he’s won the nomination... people are going to struggle holding their nose the more he forces them to cover their ears to drown out his gaffs.

For the record I’m holding my nose and voting Trump but want to tweak his nose when he pulls a doozie.

I was listening to Lou Dobbs yesterday. He had a guest who had attended a large meeting of attorney. An open poll was taken, initially, asking who they were going to vote for.
The results were Hillary 53, Trump 43.

At the end of the meeting, a second poll was taken. But this time a SECRET poll was taken asking the same question.
The results:
Trump 51, Clinton 41.

Remember, in August 1988 Michael Dukakis had a HUGE lead over George H.W. Bush. By middle October 1988, it was gone and then some.

The MSM is propping up Hillary now, but even the MSM privately admit the issues with the Clinton Foundation and now increasingly her health could become a gigantic drag on her campaign by middle to late September if she can't increase her days per week rally schedule (Donald Trump is doing rallies on five to six days per week now). With modern social media and millions of camera-equipped cellphones out there, they can't hide her medical issues like how FDR hid most of his medical issues during his Presidency.

I still don’t believe many people are undecided as of today.
Certainly not repubs & RATS and certainly not all independents.

It would take something earth-shattering (more wiki-leaks? or too many debate errors ?) for most to change their minds.

Do you want to get Trump elected President?

Yes?

Then ASSUME THE POLLS ARE CORRECT.

Assume that Big Media is successfully propagandizing against him ... then get off your butt and work on persuading people to vote for him.

Conservative “fat cats” should form a top notch polling organization and by following rigorous statistical techniques provide a standard by which other polls could be measured.

Ok, so if the polls are right we still have hope.

Hillary could have a swallowing-her-tongue seizure during the debates.
Hillary could be indicted.
Hillary will finally be forced to admit the truth about Benghazi.
A Hillary email will be released of her and Huma in bed.
Media will suddenly change gears and support Trump.
Juanita Broderick will expose a secret tape of Bill Clinton raping her.
If all else fails, there is a prayer thread.

The polls for many an election cycle have been pretty accurate especially as you noted

The final month or so

The only thing might throw this off is Trump base enthusiasm which prolly is not weighed enough in polling data

And there is no question media driven polls are used to dampen anti democrat motivation

Proof of emails discussing that are out there
