Yes, but what a lovely sound!

As more emails surface of Clintons influence selling with Huma as the middle “man” are uncovered, maybe voters will wake up to the corruption.

There are bound to be more email bombs on the way.
Even Hillarys tail wagging, boot lickng lackey MSM is reluctantly reporting on them.

If those were two stock charts, I’d buy the red one.

If Trump gets above 45 again, Hillary’s in trouble. She’s in trouble already.

Townhall just reported the Witch dropped 7 pts in the last few days. Polls are being rigged.

If the LA Times poll is almost even then in reality Trump is 10+ points ahead.

Not really. A few weeks ago the media and the Democrats went on a blitz to try to destroy Trump's campaign. We had a week of "Trump is evil, stupid and dangerous." Polls like this show Trump has weathered everything the left could throw at him. This poll is an indication of Trump's staying power.

The test over the next few weeks will be if Trump can learn and evolve as a candidate. His more controlled messages and statesman like speeches recently suggest he will pass that test.

“This poll is an indication of Trump’s staying power.”

I agree with that entirely. I was actually referring to the small change from yesterday when Trump was up to today. That one day change is just statistical noise. The important message, as you point out, is that Trump is doing well - despite an absolute frontal assault by the left and their friends in the media to try to take him out early.

Trump did manage to smoke the rat out of her hole for a few fleeting hours a couple of days ago, but since then she has scurried back into her hiding hole. Her strategy is to run out the clock, by letting the media do the heavy lifting of campaigning for her. Even Kaine is in hiding, only popping his head out from time to time.

I’m sure there is some big strategy meeting going on right now trying to figure out a way of ducking out of the debates. They are well aware that the first debate will be Trump’s big chance to close the deal, and they know her support is very soft.

Since her speeches are generally less than 30 minutes before she scurries away, and she always has to sit before making her brief speeches, will she be able to actually stand on her own two feet for 90 minutes?

This can’t be true—Hillary is Crushing Trump in the election polls. It must be the right wing, Alt-Right LA Times that doctored the polls to make it look like Trump is close. I saw on CNN that Trump was losing big, by 16 points at least!
How can Donald (worse than Hitler) Trump be gaining ground with his racist comments about inner cities—and Latino Criminals be gaining. Everyone knows that the Latios, 100%, are all saintly people. Life in the Inner cities is just peachy—Hillary Said so and she never tells lies, never.

When the demo-rat controlled polls are aligning to reality, something is going to happen. Could it be that the Demo-rat party realizes that HC is a broken-down mare and will not take them to the finish line (and is incapable of being other than a joke at the debates)? Will they be using the Labor-day weekend as a “Friday night dump” to push HC off the ticket (”Regretfully,... unforeseen medical issues... spend time with family.”) Then convene executive session in 3 weeks and select Biden/Kerry/Warren to replace her? (”Regretfully we have to cancel participation in the first two presidential debates.”)

My take as well. Maybe a really smart Freeper/Math Wiz can enlighten us on what level of "noise" would be expected from a poll of this type where you are re-samping 1/7 of a population of about 2500 voters daily.

Of course they are doing more than just re-sampling since they are applying some special sauce to the results and you are not going to get exactly the same people voting week to week. But one would think that percentage-wise they would be very close to achieving that result.

It's a different and I think a superior way of polling a Presidential Election. We will know if that is the case in a couple of months.

Polls are being rigged.

Yes they are. But historically by November's elections the amount of rigging is a lot less than we always see in the early July-August-September polls.

Be patient. If Trump is going to win this the polls will start to show it. Even the really corrupt ones will show movement in his direction.

If there is a way to get a party breakdown of who they are polling it may be worth someone paying given that this is posted daily and followed so closely.

Direct link to the poll:

Trump’s positive bump with blacks has disappeared. He’s back down to about 5%. What’s odd is the uncertainty region during the days of the bump was three times wider than normal. Would be interesting to know the back story on that.

Also find it unexpected that Hillary is doing a few points better on the “how likely are you to vote?” question.

The noise you hear may be faint.....but it is the precursor to a massive tectonic shift....the continental plates deep down in the nations political psyche are slowly grinding....the resulting Tsunami will sweep away the rotten debris of over half a century of lies from the Dim-GOPe coalition.

I agree, the truth is, with the exception of the 3 weeks around each convention the race has been very stable with both Hillary and Trump polling around 40% +- 2-3. Or basically a dead heat within the margin of error, with 15-20% of voters either undecided, too afraid to say who they really support or parked temporarily with one of the loser 3rd party candidates.
