I think our country is being stolen according to the books Hillary's American and stealing America by Dinesh D’Souza.
First, they're designed to shape public opinion not measure it; secondly, if history repeats itself they will use the polls to demoralize Republicans/conservatives.
I still recall the headline in my local paper the Monday before election day 1980: "Carter Pulls Even With Reagan."
I almost cried.
Still, it must be said that the 2012 polls were quite accurate, so I wouldn't dismiss these polls out of hand.
National Poll Shows Donald Trump Surges Among Hispanics, African Americans

Donald Trump is favored by one-in-four African Americans and one-in-three Latinos, according to a poll conducted by the Boston Herald and Franklin Pierce University. The poll of 1,025 likely voters was conducted by RKM Research for Franklin Pierce University and the Boston Herald, from Aug. 31 to Sept. 4.
Overall, Franklin Pierce gets good marks for its polls and the results are in the same ballpark as many other polls. For example, the poll showed Clinton ahead by three points, 44 percent to 41 percent. Eight percent of respondents back Gary Johnson.
The poll showed that Trump has a very favorable rating among among 18.4 percent of 105 Hispanics, and 10.5 percent of 101 African Americans. He also scored a “somewhat favorable” rating among 16.4 percent of Hispanics and 13.3 percent of African Americans. Combined, he gets a positive rating from 35 percent of Hispanics and 24 percent of African Americans.
That’s apparently better than Gov. Mitt Romney, whose nationwide ballot-box score in 2012 was 27 percent support among Hispanics and 6 percent of African Americans.
Trump isn’t going to win a majority of either bloc. Forty-nine percent of Hispanics and 69 percent of African Americans have a “very unfavorable “ view of Trump. But every percent of Hispanic support helps Trump in the critical state of Florida, and every percent of African American support helps Trump in a few northern states, such as Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Barack Obama was elected president of the U.S. TWICE..!!
Need anyone say more.... Hildabeast is next and I don't think there is a darn thing (short of open revolt) we can do about it....
He's nothing but a POTHEAD GADFLY, so I don't know why they were shocked!
Trump's 20-point lead in Independents is pretty much insurmountable. Romney only won them by 5 points in 2012.
I like Trump's chances a lot.

How Carter Beat Reagan
Washington Post admits polling was “in-kind contribution”; New York Times agenda polling.
By Jeffrey Lord – 9.25.12
Dick Morris is right.
Here’s something Dick Morris doesn’t mention. And he’s charitable.
Remember when Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980?
That’s right. Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In a series of nine stories in 1980 on “Crucial States” — battleground states as they are known today — the New York Times repeatedly told readers then-President Carter was in a close and decidedly winnable race with the former California governor. And used polling data from the New York Times/CBS polls to back up its stories.
Four years later, it was the Washington Post that played the polling game — and when called out by Reagan campaign manager Ed Rollins a famous Post executive called his paper’s polling an “in-kind contribution to the Mondale campaign.” Mondale, of course, being then-President Reagan’s 1984 opponent and Carter’s vice president.
All of which will doubtless serve as a reminder of just how blatantly polling data is manipulated by liberal media — used essentially as a political weapon to support the liberal of the moment, whether Jimmy Carter in 1980, Walter Mondale in 1984 — or Barack Obama in 2012.
First the Times in 1980 and how it played the polling game.
The states involved, and the datelines for the stories:
· California — October 6, 1980
· Texas — October 8, 1980
· Pennsylvania — October 10, 1980
· Illinois — October 13, 1980
· Ohio — October 15, 1980
· New Jersey — October 16, 1980
· Florida — October 19, 1980
· New York — October 21, 1980
· Michigan — October 23, 1980
Of these nine only one was depicted as “likely” for Reagan: Reagan’s own California. A second — New Jersey — was presented as a state that “appears to support” Reagan.
The Times led their readers to believe that each of the remaining seven states were “close” — or the Times had Carter leading outright.
In every single case the Times was proven grossly wrong on election day. Reagan in fact carried every one of the nine states.
Here is how the Times played the game with the seven of the nine states in question.
• Texas: In a story datelined October 8 from Houston, the Times headlined:
Texas Looming as a Close Battle Between President and Reagan
The Reagan-Carter race in Texas, the paper claimed, had “suddenly tightened and now shapes up as a close, bruising battle to the finish.” The paper said “a New York Times/CBS News Poll, the second of seven in crucial big states, showing the Reagan-Carter race now a virtual dead heat despite a string of earlier polls on both sides that had shown the state leaning toward Mr. Reagan.”
The narrative? It was like the famous scene in the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy and her friends stare in astonishment as dog Toto pulls back the curtain in the wizard’s lair to reveal merely a man bellowing through a microphone. Causing the startled “wizard” caught in the act to frantically start yelling, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” In the case of the Times in its look at Texas in October of 1980 the paper dismissed “a string of earlier polls on both sides” that repeatedly showed Texas going for Reagan.
Instead, the Times presented this data:
A survey of 1,050 registered voters, weighted to form a probable electorate, gave Mr. Carter 40 percent support, Mr. Reagan 39 percent, John. B. Anderson, the independent candidate, 3 percent, and 18 percent were undecided. The survey, conducted by telephone from Oct. 1 to Oct. 6, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
In other words, the race in Texas is close, assures the Times, with Carter actually in the lead.
What happened? Reagan beat Carter by over 13 points. It wasn’t even close to close.

Curious why the thread title says the party “Green”, while the Rasmussen article says the candidate “Stein”.
Oh, and speaking of Stein, should designate a prison for candidates for President that deserve to be or soon will be in prison. We’re up to 2 now.
I have been saying the same thing about Johnson. Most voters do not want to waste their vote. When they get in the voting booth most vote for one of the major candidates.
I think Johnson will turn out to be the John Anderson of this election. Much talked about but in the end irrelevant.
Hillary is still polling in the low 40s.
Even if they have adjusted party ID to show her ahead, the fundamentals of the race haven’t changed.
Its still within the MOE.
The notion the electorate changes their mind from week to week, I think its highly unlikely.
How anyone can hear what she did with Benghazi, classified material, and her foundation and still vote for her is beyond me. It helps to have a media establishment on your side, though.
It seems Hillary is surging again. The USC/LA Times tracking poll has her back up again as well.
It makes no sense because she has had a bad couple weeks while Trump has done very well.
Maybe sympathy votes for her coughing attack?
MONSTER VOTE
YOu haven’t read all the articles on FR detailing how the polls are totally bogus? You believe the polls still?
I don’t get it.
Didn’t either of you read the dozens and dozens of articles posted on FR in November 2012 detailing massive election fraud? So much that it was obvious that the election was stolen by fraud? Even by forcing Romenypuke on us they still had to commit criminal election fraud to get 0bola in for a second term. He was not legitimately voted in.
There was article upon article with hard evidence, photos and the like.
Did you not read those articles or at least see them? Dozens and dozens.
No kidding. All she's done the past few days is cough up a lung.
