Team Clinton Knocks Survey Showing Trump Ahead, Calls It 'Bad Polling'

>Hillary Clinton’s campaign is calling a newly released ABC/Washington Post survey showing Donald Trump with a 1-point lead “bad polling.”

“Sorry. It’s just not what we see at all; it’s not what other people seem to have,” a senior Clinton aide said to Clinton’s traveling press pool. “There just seems to be something about that model that seems off.”

This is the same poll that gave Clinton a 12-point advantage a week ago as Trump was struggling to deal with the 2005 release of the “Access Hollywood” tapes showing him making lewd remarks about women and multiple sexual assault allegations.

The narrowing of the race is what Clinton’s team expected this close to the race, the aide told the traveling press.

“The race has tightened in a way we thought it would tighten, but we do not see anything that would suggest that that FBI story is impacting it,” the aide said. “I wouldn’t say what our internals show, but we think that we have a relatively substantial national lead.”

Former speaker of the House and Trump surrogate Newt Gingrich also dismissed the poll. 

Washington Post-ABC poll is an absurdity. Trump has not moved up 13 points in the last 8 days.he was NEVER 12 points behind. Ignore polls— Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) November 1, 2016

Trump is also ahead of Clinton by 4 points in a newly released LA Times/USC survey.

Update: The latest national poll released early Wednesday morning has the two in a dead heat at 46 percent among likely voters.

“She just doesn’t see herself losing.”

Rigging the system has worked well for Progressives for most of the last 100 years. The only one who beat the system in that time period was Ronald Reagan.

Trump may beat it as well, and for many of the same reasons.

This cabal of leftist losers is beyond the pall. What complete malignancies. These degenerates must be purged from civilization. These leftist pinheads are termites, eating away at any and all civilizations.

Dear "Aide": I found something for you. Pass it on.

“Bad Polling” is any pollster she hasn’t bought and paid for.

Trump may take them off of her hands at 10 cents on the dollar. The Art of the Deal and all that.
