“It has been proven not only by Wikileak information, but by the Conservative Tree House analysis and examination of media ‘polls’ that they’re ALL in the tank for the ‘RATs”

Kind of like the “Skewed Polls” website in 2012 told us that all was good and Romney would win? Not this time will I fall for such lines of reasoning. Better that we’re honest with ourselves and face problems head-on.

Exactly right. If a greasy spoon diner is known for serving up tainted food, and the local hospital had to get an extended warranty on their stomach pump as a result, why would ANYONE want to dine at such a place?

We should not allow our minds to be filled with such libtard media garbage when we KNOW who is preparing the ‘meal’, and who the nauseating ‘chefs’ are.

Steer a wide berth around such psychological ptomaine poison palaces.

And he would have won, if he had not handed the election to Obama during the third debate — agreed with Obama, praised Obama, tried to “act presidential, on the advice of Rich Lowery and Bill Krystal.

Or did he just act weak by design?

One of our “problems” is people falling for obvious BS polling. There is no way in this or any other universe that Hillary Clinton wins Georgia, it doesn’t happen.

These polls are being done by the same people that tell you Trayvon was an angel, Bernie wasn’t corrupt and the Atlanta Falcons have a chance at the playoffs.

I see that you only took the demoralizing part of the post.
The important part is “Work like Trump is 10 points behind.”

Thanks for the canned talking-head response. Did you pick that up on MSNBC or think it up on your own? Those polls you refer to didn't tell us all was good for Romney... not really. They were national polls within the margin of error that not only didn't tell us who was actually gonna get up off their butts and vote nor did they tell us how all that broke down electorally.

Besides, the current crop of polls are gathered way differently than the last presidential election. Show me one final presidential poll from 2012 that used 'adults' with 'youngest in household' and used 'strong dem/dem/leaning dem' at 50%.

You are being gaslighted... and it's working.

I have tried hard to not buy into the ‘polls are skewed’ argument this year...

But the polls are really just an echo chamber for the pollster’s predictions - and his predictions are used to shape his sample, and how he weights D, R, and I. And, the pollsters are logically using historical turnout to shape their demographic models.

But here’s the rub: There has never been a candidate quite like Trump.

I’m not going to try to calm myself by automatically dismissing the polls...but I do take them with a grain of salt.

In the Georgia primary, 1.3 million republicans voted, and 760k democrats voted...although HRC got more vites than Trump, 543k vs 502k, due to strong Rubio and Cruz totals.

And in 2012, it was Romney 2 million vs Obama 1.8 million.

What should I conclude from this latest poll? For me, its not just that HRC is leading...its that in this same poll she was trailing last week that is concerning. No matter whether or not HRC is truly ahead, the trend is definitely in her favor. Hopefully Team Trump will adjust...they have to...but they’ve still got time to do that.
