Online poll results suggest where the enthusiasm is and it’s not with Hillary Clinton

As I reported last week, Donald Trump’s supporters are 11% more enthusiastic to vote for him than Hillary Clinton’s supporters are to vote for her:

A Fox News poll released after I wrote said Trump’s supporters are 70% enthusiastic to vote for him and Clinton’s supporters are 57% enthusiastic to vote for her; suggesting the enthusiasm gap may be growing.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/07/fox-news-poll-clinton-edges-trump-by-two-points-one-month-ahead-election.html

Based on the broad reaction to their second debate where Trump only lost in news rooms the DNC and the RNC, there seems to be little reason to think Trump’s supporters are significantly less enthused to vote for him than they were last Thursday.

The online polls showed what most honest people who watched the second Presidential Debate already know: Trump thoroughly dominated the night even if he had to be given no more than a draw on the issue of the terrible remarks caught on video tape.

Trump called what he said “locker room talk” and refused to get pulled into an extended discussion about the matter. When he fought the opening round to a draw it cleared the way for Trump to counter punch which is his best debate strength.

A review of the results of the 23 polls listed by the website https://theconservativetreehouse.com shows that in three such polls Clinton did very well.

In Heavy.com she won 57/41; in Mediate.com she did even better winning 59/41 and in the Fox6 St. Louis poll she won 54/45. The totals of Clinton’s three wins was 337,000 and Trump’s totals in these polls was 288,000 putting him behind by 49,000 votes.

By contrast Trump won one poll offered by Buzz Feed by 2.7 million to 46,000 – that is 97% to 1%. In the rest of the polls he won with strong to overwhelming margins.

In many of the reports of poll results that showed Clinton losing by a large margin the stock disclaiming phrase, “This is an unscientific poll,” was included; in some the results were not displayed and of course since the government largely runs it, the PBS poll failed when asked to display the results.

What then can be deduced from the results of the on-line polls?

They suggest that Clinton supporters likely coalesced around the polls offered by three relatively obscure websites in an effort to make a show of strength.

Nevertheless, a combined 54/46 lead in only three of 23 polls says something that cannot be denied: There is no groundswell of enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton.

If and this is a big if the enthusiasm gap grows to 15 points it will be reported by Gallup and the rest of the media will not be able to smother it.

I’m betting the enthusiasm level for Trump goes up after this debate, while Hillary’s will remain stagnant or even slide down a touch.

“Hillary Clinton said Sunday night she wants to “change the balance” of the Supreme Court if elected president.

“I have very clear views about what I want to see to change the balance on the Supreme Court, and I regret deeply that the Senate has not done its job,” Clinton said. “If I am so fortunate as to be president, I will immediately move to make sure that we fill that [vacancy].”

Goodbye 2nd Amendment.
Goodby free speech and press (at least if it’s got a conservative leaning)
Goodbye forever repealing Roe v. Wade

That’s what is at stake. It’s Trump or Goodbye America as we know it.

I attempted to vote in the PBS poll at least 10 times and each time got an error message.

If Hillary gets elected, she will plant the seeds for a new revolt and it will not be peaceful.

PBS wouldn’t let anyone vote for Trump in their online poll.

Doubt Hillary will go down. She has the support of the most insane voters America has ever had. And the World is against Trump so the lies and distortion will keep her with her troop of nits.

Trump for President.
