New Polls: Trump Gaining in Pennsylvania, Ahead in Florida and Ohio
Townhall ^ | October 26, 2016 | Justin Holcomb

Why is Republican nominee Donald Trump leading in two battleground states and nearly tied in another with less than two weeks before the election? Experts, analysts, and Washington, D.C. insiders lectured the American people on how this was not supposed to happen.

According to a new poll, Trump maintains a healthy lead in Ohio over Hillary Clinton, 46 to 42 percentage points and in a Bloomberg Politics poll of Florida, Trump leads Clinton 45 to 43. In Pennsylvania, Trump continues to dwindle Clinton's lead where he is now within three points of the Democratic nominee.

Florida and Ohio are must wins for the Trump campaign, and combined with a win in Pennsylvania, Trump would more than likely be the next President of the United States.

In the most accurate poll of 2012, Trump is basically tied with Clinton nationally.

According to FiveThirtyEight, the Investor’s Business Daily/TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence poll predicted the correct outcome of that election, exposing Obama's dramatically underestimated performance and the falsehood of Romney's estimated clear victory.

At a rally in Tallahassee on Tuesday night, Trump made clear his intentions in the Sunshine State. “In 14 days we are going to win the state of Florida and we are going to win back the White House,” he declared.

Keep the faith. The media have tossed objectivity out the window (the shred they had left) and are trying to fix this election.

I figured if trump was really ahead like most of us thought the polls would start to show that as we get closer to election day. Polls will say the Democrat is going to win but once close the polling companies want to “get it right” and will start to move towards reality.

WOW, so much for Hillary leading by 10-12, this is within the margin of error. It's all about turnout, Trump wins FL, OH, PA, CO, NV, NH it's all over

I hope this is true! Just a word of caution in the PA and OH polls. They oversampled R’s in both of them. Ohio was +9 Republicans. In PA registered Democrats have a 10 point edge on the Republicans.

But, it should be noted that in the PA poll, they oversampled Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, which likely benefits Hillary. Also, 15% surveyed were black while the state census says that the percentage of blacks in PA is 10%. Even so, the pol shows 29% of the black population chose Trump. I find it hard to believe...but I like what I see.

Just count the minutes before the State-Run Media push out some new push polls that show Hitlery five to ten points ahead in all the Battleground states.

Ticking ....

Through no fault of my own I was raised by liberals in liberal territory, so by default I was a lib until I grew up by God’s grace and saw the light :)
