NBC's Steve Kornacki: Amazing How Thin Clinton/Trump Margin Is, Despite Trump's Problems
Real Clear Politics ^ | 06/22/2016 | Tim Hains

Posted on 06/22/2016 10:36:27 AM PDT by MaxistheBest

MSNBC host Steve Kornacki discusses the latest 2016 election polls showing Clinton and Trump in a dead heat in several key battleground states with the hosts of NBC's Today Show:

"It’s amazing," Kornacki said. "If you take the 2012 electoral map: Obama versus Romney, and kept it the same... If you can flip Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, you’re the next president. For all of the trouble [Trump has] had, you’ve got them dead even in Ohio and Pennsylvania. [Polls showing him down in] Florida is bad news for him."

"[We just saw several] great weeks for Hillary Clinton, terrible weeks for Donald Trump -- and they look at those polls in those states, how do they explain that?"

"The poll on the economy, Hillary Clinton gave that speech yesterday, the subject is the economy, she’s trying to discredit Trump on the economy," Kornacki said. "And you look up and see that poll saying --on who do you trust more on the economy-- Trump leading Clinton by eight points. They’re aware of the challenge. That’s where the speeches like you saw yesterday from Hillary Clinton are coming from."

The “problems” are in THEIR eyes NOT ours. These people still don’t get it. Here we are almost in July and they still don’t get it! They think in terms of Old Politics and play checkers while Trump works in New Politics and plays chess.

NBC Announcer (or any other network for that matter): “I don’t know anybody who voted for Nixon!”

They haven’t found Trump’s page in the play book of rules that they win by...problem here is: Trump didn’t share his ‘playbook’ with anyone and the only one that knows what is in it is Trump...

So then, there is a history of the early polls being distorted, to try to show that the Democrat is more popular than he really is.

Then the polls get tighter as we get closer to election day.

I think it is less “manipulating” polls than it is laziness in using “registered” voters heavily seeded with “adults” (10%!!) so it’s GIGO.
