That’s a rather strange thing to have happen during Thanksgiving week. Who is glued to politics besides us on Thanksgiving week? NOBODY!
Another funny thing happened this week with this poll.
This poll has been updated on Monday or at the latest Tuedsay for the last few months.
This week it wasn’t updated until Wednesday.
On Monday Trump was at 42.6% support. I commented then that it was highly unusual for them to hold off. Tuesday he dipped to 38%, and then they published on Wednesday. Sunday he had 42.9% support. So from Tuesday through Thursday, he dropped from 38% to 31%.
This calls to question what gives. He spiked to 42.9% on Sunday and by Tuesday he was at 38%. Then two days later he was at 31%. Tell me how tuned in people are from the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving day. This is when he supposed fell 7%.
There’s something really strange going on with this poll.
I’ve trusted it quite a bit this year, but it looks like that trust may have been misplaced.
Likely just statistical noise.
The problem is for his opponent is that world events are moving in Trumps direction, as scary as those events are, they bolster his positions. And all of Trump’s opponents have no traction, with Carson still the number 2....which just defies all logic.
Thirdly, he still controls the media cycle/attention.
