Polls Show Donald Trump Staying Close to Hillary Clinton in 3 Swing States (New York Times)
New York Times ^ | AUG. 9, 2016 | By ALAN RAPPEPORT

Posted on 08/09/2016 2:18:17 PM PDT by cba123

Hillary Clinton may be surging in national polls, but in the key swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, Donald J. Trump remains in striking distance.

According to a group of surveys of likely voters released on Tuesday by Quinnipiac University, Mrs. Clinton holds a one percentage point lead in Florida, a four-point lead in Ohio and a 10-point lead in Pennsylvania over Mr. Trump. The polls, which had a margin of error of plus-or-minus three percentage points, are slightly closer when Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, the Libertarian and Green Party nominees, are included.

Weird.

New York Times, is usually the worst paper. Bar none.

This is sort of balanced.

I don’t mean to let you down, but the New York Times is not all of sudden unbiased.

The polls have been polling about 10 to 15% more Democrats than Republicans on average in order to pretend this race is close.

It’s not even close. The internal polls run by both campaigns show Trump up by 17 a to 23%. Hence, the all out attack on Trump by the media.

Remember just as they protect and lie about Hillary and Obama. They are lying to the public about these polls.

The polls are bogus; pure BS, manufactured by the MSM, Liberal RATs and treasonous RINOs to demoralize us. If you doubt that, do your Google search on bogus polls 2016.

How many Freepers have to repeat in the forum that these are bogus polls? OMG

“The internal polls run by both campaigns show Trump up by 17 a to 23%.”

And you know this how exactly? Disinformation like this is just as bad as a +12D poll published on the front of the NYT. If Trump wins by anything over 16, I’ll eat a shoe (of my choosing) :-).

Oh and they are doing this in an attempt to steal the election.

That way the public will think he just loss.

All you have to do is look at the rallies to see who the public likes. Trump gets thousands every rally while Hillary can’t even get 200 people. Many of the 200 people are her people too.

She is not popular at all and stole the race from Sanders.

This is an outlier.

Just doesn’t jive with the majority of polls that have Hitliary ahead by 150% to -50%.

I know that from the insiders in the campaign and what they are saying.....

You do understand each campaign has their own internal polls? Is this reallynews to you??? The campaigns admit this. It’s no secret..... LOL! S.M.H.

Wait a minute. Hey look everybody it’s a DNC Troll that hijacked another Freeper account!

So where were you between July 15th, 2015 and July 15th 2011? Do you work for the DNC or are you a Government Troll.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page, and you will see this Troll started posting on July 15th, 2015. The post prior to that (hit next page at the bottom left of this link) and you can see the two previous posts were from 9/15/2011 and 12/03/2009.

“New York Times, is usually the worst paper. Bar none. This is sort of balanced. “

Perhaps the NYT knows emails between them and the DNC/Hillary campaign showing collusion are about to be exposed. So now they are trying to appear as fair and balanced.

Sure. That’s what I kept hearing in 2012. The polls were oversampling dems...they’re rigged...fixed..Romney is really doing better....... Lesson learned. If most of the polls are leaning one way. They’re probably correct.

Please provide your source. I seriously doubt the Trump campaign would leak their internals.

God, I hope the internal polls you cite are accurate!!!
Please share any links, sources with us fellow Freepers!!!
Today, Bill Mitchell tweeted that an insider source he knew reported that things were “looking amazing” for Trump in Ohio.
I would love to believe Trump is far far far ahead!!
Why else would the MSM, etc., be so savagely attacking him day after day???!!!

Well, Trump overperformed most all of his polls during the primaries. Why should the election be any different?

“You do understand each campaign has their own internal polls?”

Yes. Yes I do.

“Is this reallynews to you??? The campaigns admit this. It’s no secret..... LOL! S.M.H.”

No, it is not news to me.

“Wait a minute. Hey look everybody it’s a DNC Troll that hijacked another Freeper account!”

Um. No. Not at all.

“So where were you between July 15th, 2015 and July 15th 2011? “

Thailand?

I’m actually shocked I didn’t post anything during that time. Do you know how to check all of my history?

“Do you work for the DNC or are you a Government Troll.”

I do not work for the DNC. I’d rather starve than work for those frigging filthy piles of worthless garbage. Moreover, I am too good at what I do to work for the government.

“Scroll down to the bottom of this page, and you will see this Troll started posting on July 15th, 2015”

Admins, please feel free to check my posting history to your heart’s content. If you feel I am a troll and that I’m on some kind of disinformation campaign as this person that “knows people inside the Trump campaign” states, feel free to delete my account.

I’m not what this person claims I am and find the accusation to be rather insulting. I was asking a fair question and find the poster’s claim to be VERY dubious.

Moreover, I find it rather hard to believe that someone in the Trump campaign would leak rather expensive, valuable data to some random person on a political website.
