LoL Roooters/Ipsos is not a realistic poll.

They’ve had Dem +18% over Rep, and Dem +40% over Indie. These number are out of whack as in wacky.

I don’t believe this for a minute. I think they disqualify you in most instances if you say you support Trump

Or they ask a question like " Do you support immigration to the US ?" If you answer yes, they put you down as supporting Hillary - ignoring the fact that Trump also supports immigration, just not ILLEGAL immigration.

Because the pollsters are never called upon to prove their so called results, they simply spout whatever the folks paying them want the poll to show. Mostly (93-96 percent) BS , anyway.

Add to that; there was not nationwide "days of rage" and what's the result?

No cheesey poofs, for you, not today, but maybe tomorrow? sometime next week? There's always hope.

Forty-five percent of likely voters supported former Secretary of State Clinton, 33 percent supported Trump, the wealthy businessman, and the remainder supported neither, according to the July 11-15 online poll.


on line polls are usually reliable

Either way, I would do everything in my power to undermine her presidency...

I don't think the planet is big enough to undermine that beotch. You could dig down past the gates of he!! and STILL not undermine her.

What are the internals?

The polls are going to gel over time.

Especially since leftys have a much lower percentage of folks who actually go to work and do family stuff. Thus having much more time to assault on-line lobbying, propaganda, etc.

Online polls are not reliable if the party affiliations in the samples are skewed; and if this Reuters poll is 45-30 Dem over Rep it ain’t accurate in reflecting the voting population.

“Clinton leads Trump by 12 points ahead of Republican convention”

If the Left didn’t have BS mastered as they do they would be nowhere.

I dont deserve poofs for a year!!!

That doesnt sound right.

It’s an online Reuters poll. Nothing to worry about. This has been out of whack all season. Trump has never been ahead in this poll against Clinton and he’s trailed big. Even in the primaries, they consistently overstated Trump’s lead over Ted. It’s a garbage poll.

So here’s a plausible explanation of what’s going on. Last week there were several respected polls showing Trump leading Clinton. Here’s one:

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/07/breaking-donald-trump-retains-lead-hillary-clinton-latest-national-poll/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=im

Right after these polls favorable to Trump were released, there was a report that Clinton’s PR people were “freaking out” over these polls favorable to Trump.

So this Reuters/Ipsos poll could very well be the response of Clinton’s people to swing the propaganda value back to their candidate.

And old time Freepers know from the 1990s how tightly the Clintons control the propaganda value of their polls and press releases. There’s not even a question of how the Clinton people ruled the press and pollsters with threats and coercion.

Four weeks ago, these clowns had weighted their poll at 52% Dem. I expect the aggregated exit polls will show about 37% Dem voters in November with Repubs matching or +- 2%.

In 2012, Obama got 38% voters as Dem. I highly doubt Hillary will get more than Obama of self-ID Dems.
