How is Trump doing in the polls (and could he actually win?!)

Polls aren’t always to be believed: just look at Brexit and the last general election.

But there would have to be a large margin of error if the latest polls on the American election are incorrect.

They show Hillary Clinton trouncing Donald Trump following the footage which emerged of him bragging that his fame allowed him to do what he liked to women, including grabbing them ‘by the pussy’, without repercussions....

In the governors race in my commonwealth of Kentucky last fall, Bevin was behind in the polls by 5%.

He won by 9%.

This is a hint at what I think about polls.

The silent majority is going to have to really materialize this time, I think they can and I hope they can

He said “If they let you”. That is not an assault.

Of course when you realize the conclusion of this article is mostly based on an NBC Poll managed by a paid Hillary adviser, it gets very hard to take it seriously

Conservative Treehouse has a great post about the NBC/WSJ poll the MSM keeps quoting. It seems a Pro-Hillary PAC paid $250 to the firm to conduct the poll and the CEO of the firm worked for Obama and currently works for the Hillary campaign.

In just a few weeks President-elect Trump will be the talk around the planet.

That WSJ poll has been exposed, smaller than normal sample, cut short by a day to limit to lewd scandal.

I live in one of the bluest of blue states. I have seen many Trump signs in my travels. Only one sign for Pickles.

In most of the reliable polls, Trump is down by four or five. That is hardly a “trouncing”. The are using the damned NBC/WSJ poll, which is skewed to Democrats, had a small sample, and is owned by people who work for Clinton. /What would you expect??

Things have become so ugly that in my circle of facebook friends, that there have been posts in the last couple of days asserting that people who are planning to vote for Trump are no different than those who voted for Hitler. People are writing this about their friends and acquaintances! So, if some people up until a couple of weeks ago were lying to pollsters about intending to vote for Trump, you can bet even more are lying now. Don't trust the polls.

Does the ground game trump the signs or is it the other way around?

Polls are tools for rigging the system.

My belief is that the Clinton camp knows they’re headed for defeat.

They’re now working on the stolen election/endless recount phase of the project.

The rigged polls are pablum for the low information voter to make them believe that the GOP stole the race from the DEMs.

What were the poll numbers for Barry and Mitt, at around the same time?

Or during McCain/Palin?

Good grief. You must be desperate for Facebook friends. A little weeding may be called for….

IL Republican Gov now has a TV ad out against Trump. I have been unable to find it online, but I saw it today on TV.

Rauner finally speaks out against Trump, but won’t say if he still supports him

Tuesday, Oct 11, 2016

* AP…

Republican Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner has largely avoided any discussion of the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump.

That changed Monday, when Rauner directed harsh criticism at Trump for the vulgar remarks captured in a 2005 video, although he didn’t mention Trump’s name.

Speaking after participating in Chicago’s Columbus Day parade, Rauner said the rhetoric, the language, the statements in the video was, “disgusting, appalling, outrageous, beyond any reasonable bounds of decency.” He reiterated his refusal to back Trump.

* Sun-Times…

When asked whether he supports Trump, Rauner said instead that he’s “not endorsing him.”

Rauner, as head of the Illinois Republican Party, didn’t attend this year’s GOP convention and has not endorsed Trump, but he has said he would vote for the Republican nominee. […]

At an event Downstate Saturday, Rauner said, “I’ll say this. The rhetoric in this presidential campaign [is] appalling, disgusting. As a father [and] as a husband, the language is vile and repulsive, and I condemn it in the strongest possible way.”

Asked if he’ll still support Trump, Rauner replied on Saturday, “I’ve made my comments.”

* Tribune…

Rauner’s handpicked state GOP chairman, Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider, has not issued a formal public statement about Trump’s leaked comments. Email requests to the Illinois GOP for comment since Saturday gained no response. […]

All politics may be local, but timing also can be a factor. The Sangamon County Republican Party sent fliers to mailboxes in Springfield on Saturday soliciting vote-by-mail for the GOP ticket, political literature that featured Trump.

But the mailer, arriving only hours after the release of Trump’s recording, also had photos of Sen. Kirk and Rep. Davis, who by then had called for Trump to drop out.
