There was NEVER any potential for Clinton to beat Trump in Georgia or this state be a ‘tossup’.

Speculation to such was just AJC Polls stacked to the hilt with push-politics bias.

Anybody have info on any new polls? I know, but we’re human and inquisitive.

wife said there was a poll where hitlery was up 8 yesterday?!?!

Wife is in her own world (thank God she’s voting for Trump) and she watches the MSM, so i dont put any credibility towards it anyway.

I’m thinking it was that garbage 6 point nbc poll lead

he’s up a little in the LA times poll today. 2 points

There was never the slightest doubt Trump would win Georgia. All the talk and whining from the media and leftists about this being a purple state and Hillary having a chance here was BS. Hillary has spent no money here because she knows its a lost cause in Georgia.

A lot of models (Sabato, e.g.) are still showing GA as a Toss Up. This will move soon into at least Lean R if not Likely R.

“Hillary has spent no money here because she knows its a lost cause.....”...........

She can save the rest of her funds as well and it appears she is doing just that by cancelling most of her appearances. I await the day that the Trump government goes after the Clinton’s for their “Pay to Play” get rich scheme and confiscates all their ill begotten wealth.

If winning Georgia is a concern, we’ve got problems.

Those deceitful push-polling propagandists are stirring from their medications now that the election is about 45 days out.

They can hear some distant noise in their stupor. Wake up...here comes reality.

Deplorables at the gate. November 8.

Pollsters get paid by campaigns so they have their own monetary interests in mind when the create bullshit polls like the ones here in Georgia up to now. It just isn’t/wasn’t so. Trump’s victory here in Georgia has never been in doubt. BUT, the pollsters here working for Democrats keeping the money flow alive long enough was sho’nuff REAL.

The popular vote % isn’t conclusive at this point. Clinton could be winning by 10-15% in states like CA and NY and the population in those winner take all states is so large it dwarfs Trump’s lead in other winner take all states.

There are still a LOT of people who have not made up their minds and Johnson and Stein are showing way more support than traditionally third party candidates receive - but this is an out of the box election, so who knows.

Noonan had a good column yesterday about the closet (my word) Trump voters. IOW, those people are are going to vote Trump but will not admit it publicly because they will be denigrated.

Old Larry S is not a pollster .
He is a DNC con man trying to fool people with pure garbage polls.

The Grifter screamed his prediction that GWBush would lose to Kerry .

He was kicked off the cable and radio circuit after he was running around peddling push Polls for Dem candidates while hiding his employment as a Dem party senate campaign hack .

He is dirt .

Recent polls in general: Taking all the polls into account, state as well as national, this is a close race. While most of the national polls of the past week give Hillary an edge, most of the polls in the battleground states contradict that message. (I am talking of polls that were conducted simultaneously. Not polls conducted two week ago and only released last week.)

My best guess is that as of two weeks ago Trump erased the edge Hillary developed after the conventions, and with the aid of a half billion of advertising. And this past week, Hillary has rebounded a bit, to a 1 point difference. This margin is totally inconsequential as compared to uncertainties over who will actually vote, how the undecided voters will break, and how many voters will peel-off the third party candidates and to whom will they shift.

Voter enthusiasm, the debates, Hillary’s health, world events, terrorism and race riots, and the sluggish economy are much more important than a 1 point margin in the polls.

Plus the polls are often wrong (in the statistical sense, meaning by more than their margin of error). In 2014 and possibly other recent years, when they have been wrong, they’ve been biased against the Republican. So, even if we were to be down 6 points on the day before the election, we still have a chance.

I used to worry about the upcoming POTUS debates, but...I do not anymore. Going against all the incorrect, media and pundit class....they will mean very little....no matter what happens as they move along. The Trump train has left the station, heading toward a massive victory for Donald J. Trump. The Trump MoJo is on its game!!!

Forgetting politics...here’s the game, fellow Americans: The executive wing of our federal government is non-existant, corrupt, crooked, fixed and leaderless!!! Obama is just as guilty as “Crooked” Hillary Clinton, across the board.

Hillary Clinton, her State Department is a total sham and disgrace. Do you folks realize that POTUS, Obama did not get one round of applause during his UN speech last week, just a polite applause at the ending of his absolutely boring speech.

The FBI, the once most highly thought of agency in the Federal government, is now...but, an arm of a third world dictator & his cohort, POTUS, Obama & Attorney General, Loretta Lynch.

The Democrat Party has turned 100% socialist or, communist!!! There is no future for America, yourselves and your children

That’s just part of the bad news. The “GOOD” news is: that an overwhelming majority of the American voters know it...and, they will votng to “throw the bums out” and will hand Donald j. Trump a massive landslide victory on November 8th, 2016!!!

So...folks....the debates mean zero. The game is set and the Americans voters already know the outcome...Thank God!!!

All these polls. All these phone calls. Who in hell are they calling? I have never been polled. Ever. I’m wondering how many freepers have ever been polled. I think the pollsters pay for some outlet to make phone calls and whether the phone gets answered or not, since they are paid on number of phone calls they just make shit up to satisfy the call requirement

Murdoch Globalist propaganda network and its WSJ cheap labor rag are a joke.

The Murdoch scum have destroyed the WSJ.

The WSJ cooked up a push poll with Comcast globalist cabal (NBC) with a plus 14 point Dem sample and Comrade Hillary was only up 6 points.

Pres Trump needs to raid Murdoch propaganda headquarters like the British did under the Rico act to find out what these foreign enemy agents are plotting.

In 2014, the Dem party Media namely CNN had the awful Nunn ahead of Perdue by 3 points on Oct 28 2014 .

She LOST by 8 points .

CNN that made up this push poll to push a false narrative to create a false momentum .
CNN was wrong by 11 points but no one ever called them out over this push poll.
