Weird.

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

This is sort of balanced.

Man, the polls are all over the place for this election. I have never seen anything like it.

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.

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.

Nope. No such animal a balanced NYT’s. I am not paying attention to any polls right now. I trust none of them.

This is an outlier.

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

“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.

He spent $0 on TV ads.

The question is, what he's doing with all the money that he collected -- $80 million in July -- that he's NOT spending on ads. I'd love to know! (So should any Democrats who aren't mind-numbed Hillarybots!)

Folks, I keep sayin’ it. These are all D HEAVY SAMPLES and they know it. They know if they use “likely voters” with reasonable D-R splits Trump is tied or ahead in all these states. I think he’s probably down 2 in PA, ahead in FL and OH and NV, and AZ and IA.

But PA is going to be weird because no one has appealed to the PA white voters like Trump.

Staying close isn’t good enough. He needs to be ahead and outside the margin of fraud.

Pollsters today are like the buggy whip makers in the early 1900’s, facing economic devastation because they can’t poll many people. They are in a losing battle with social media.

Many of the so called pollsters have been Democrat Operatives for decades going back to when they predicted Carter would beat Reagan.

Now, they are trying to exist with the growing number of cell phones, social media growth and the problem of less landline phones.

More and more people on both ends of the age spectrum do not have landline phones. They only have cell phones.

Does anyone with a cell phone ever answer any unknown numbers and specifically any 800 #’s?

Probably not. So how can any pollster contact them>

We use no more robocalls on our two land lines. Zero pollsters have gotten through since we started using no more robocalls, 2 plus years ago.

None of our voting age relatives have received a call from any pollster this election, (2015/16). That is 20+ Trump voters.

Then, there is this on social media versus polls:
Social Media Patterns Show Trump Is Looking at a Landslide Victory

Current polls show the race for President is much tighter than it really is. Ann Coulter warned us years ago in her bestseller Slander that Democrats and the liberal media always use polls to manipulate and discourage conservatives from voting. Thanks to social media there is more and more evidence that the polls are way off and if things stay as they are, Trump will win in a landslide!

It’s evident that, Hillary has a hard time filling a Union Hall or high school gym while Trump regularly turns people away from his stadium and arena venues.

A final question have you or any Trump voters, you know, actually been polled this year?

Run your own poll and ask the Trump voters, you know if they have been polled in since the primaries started.

We have yet to find a single Trump voter, who has been polled in the primaries and this general election. Our informal survey goes from coast to coast and from north to south states.
