Donald Trump has had a few rocky weeks on the campaign trail, and it shows in the latest Fox News Poll. Just over half of Republicans would rather have someone besides Trump as their nominee, and his support in the presidential ballot test has dropped seven points since May.

More gaslighting ment to demoralize Trump supporters and suppress turnout. This is their only option. Unless they suppress turnout Trump wins in a landslide. They’re trying to convince people that although Colorado and Wisconsin are tight races clinton is leading nationally. What a freakin joke.

That's why this GOPE poll keeps it low, and 42% Dem is too high as a sample size. Skewed. Around 30% I according to exit polls over the last 3 presidential elections.
Another messed up thing; Clinton is only up 7 with Millennials , but leads by 18 with seniors, What!!!!�???
Fox News polls are run by a tag team of Dem pollsters and R pollsters and I have no doubt GOPE type Republicans.
“Undecided are mostly Trump voters cowed into silence...for now.”
My brother-in-law was just saying the same thing. 18% undecided? Baloney, they are afraid of the consequence of Social Media finding out they are for Trump. Democrats play hardball they will have you fired from your job
Pure crock of human waste. These polls are RAT BS.
There is no non-Establishment major news networks. All but one supports the Democrats, but there is no major network that supports “none of the above.” I just want one major network that is anti-establishment-—anti-welfare, anti-warfare-—24/7.
and 95% believe “most corrupt ever” describes Hillary? would have been another leading question worth asking...
Thanks Timestax!
“Gee, I wonder what these people would have done with these sorts of polls back about this time in 1980.”

How Carter Beat Reagan
Washington Post admits polling was “in-kind contribution”; New York Times agenda polling.
By Jeffrey Lord – 9.25.12
Dick Morris is right.
Here’s something Dick Morris doesn’t mention. And he’s charitable.
Remember when Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980?
That’s right. Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In a series of nine stories in 1980 on “Crucial States” — battleground states as they are known today — the New York Times repeatedly told readers then-President Carter was in a close and decidedly winnable race with the former California governor. And used polling data from the New York Times/CBS polls to back up its stories.
Four years later, it was the Washington Post that played the polling game — and when called out by Reagan campaign manager Ed Rollins a famous Post executive called his paper’s polling an “in-kind contribution to the Mondale campaign.” Mondale, of course, being then-President Reagan’s 1984 opponent and Carter’s vice president.
All of which will doubtless serve as a reminder of just how blatantly polling data is manipulated by liberal media — used essentially as a political weapon to support the liberal of the moment, whether Jimmy Carter in 1980, Walter Mondale in 1984 — or Barack Obama in 2012.
First the Times in 1980 and how it played the polling game.
The states involved, and the datelines for the stories:
· California — October 6, 1980
· Texas — October 8, 1980
· Pennsylvania — October 10, 1980
· Illinois — October 13, 1980
· Ohio — October 15, 1980
· New Jersey — October 16, 1980
· Florida — October 19, 1980
· New York — October 21, 1980
· Michigan — October 23, 1980
Of these nine only one was depicted as “likely” for Reagan: Reagan’s own California. A second — New Jersey — was presented as a state that “appears to support” Reagan.
The Times led their readers to believe that each of the remaining seven states were “close” — or the Times had Carter leading outright.
In every single case the Times was proven grossly wrong on election day. Reagan in fact carried every one of the nine states.
Here is how the Times played the game with the seven of the nine states in question.
• Texas: In a story datelined October 8 from Houston, the Times headlined:
Texas Looming as a Close Battle Between President and Reagan
The Reagan-Carter race in Texas, the paper claimed, had “suddenly tightened and now shapes up as a close, bruising battle to the finish.” The paper said “a New York Times/CBS News Poll, the second of seven in crucial big states, showing the Reagan-Carter race now a virtual dead heat despite a string of earlier polls on both sides that had shown the state leaning toward Mr. Reagan.”
The narrative? It was like the famous scene in the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy and her friends stare in astonishment as dog Toto pulls back the curtain in the wizard’s lair to reveal merely a man bellowing through a microphone. Causing the startled “wizard” caught in the act to frantically start yelling, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” In the case of the Times in its look at Texas in October of 1980 the paper dismissed “a string of earlier polls on both sides” that repeatedly showed Texas going for Reagan. Instead, the Times presented this data:
A survey of 1,050 registered voters, weighted to form a probable electorate, gave Mr. Carter 40 percent support, Mr. Reagan 39 percent, John. B. Anderson, the independent candidate, 3 percent, and 18 percent were undecided. The survey, conducted by telephone from Oct. 1 to Oct. 6, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
In other words, the race in Texas is close, assures the Times, with Carter actually in the lead.
What happened? Reagan beat Carter by over 13 points. It wasn’t even close to close.

Thanks Timestax!
Excellent !!
Barring anything spectacular, Trump can only go up, and H*****y can only go down (her poll numbers, that is).
In this Fox directed push poll it says 51% want someone else as the Republican nominee.
PPP (D) poll that came out today says differently Question 10. It’s a 43% spread between those who don’t and those who do want Trump. It’s a stark contrast to the GOPE poll.
