Everyone, let’s calm down here. LS hit the nail on the head. Trump is hovering +/- 3 around the MOE, while Hillary is stuck in the low 40’s. She doesn’t move, which is very bad for her. She’s been on the national scene for 25 years, people hate her and she can’t break out of the low 40’s, mid 40’s in some polls. This is terrible for her.
I do believe she’s ahead in most polls. I played the polls are fake game in 2012 and got burned like the rest of us. But Trump’s hurdles here are lower than Hillary. While Trump is not popular either, people will be more willing to give him a chance than her. This race is bearing a striking resemblance to 1980. Then, both candidates were in the low 40’s right up until the final weekend. Carter never got out of the low 40’s.
I think the media spin of Trump being unpopular is just that, media spin and that includes polls because you can get whatever you want from a poll from the way you ask the question. Trump can go to any state in the country and get as many people as the place will hold. His crowds are enormous. Bernie Sanders would also get huge crowds but the polls (and they’re all liberal), would never tell you how “unpopular” he was. There’s a reason for that. He’s not hated by the leftist, globalist media. Trump is. I think Trump will win the election and it’s not going to be close.
Exactly right, including the parallels to 1980. I said on another thread that she is not going to pick up the late deciders, of which there may be a lot this year.
