sounds real scientific. Or not.
Don’t believe the polls, believe the fact that you can’t find Depends on any store shelf in the Washington, D.C. metro area.
“Trump, however, now leads Clinton by 2 points (41 to 39 percent) in a four-way general election matchup with Libertarian Gary Johnson (10 points) and Green Party candidate Jill Stein (5 points). This is up 1 point from last week.”
Man aren't they devious. Wasn't there something in Wikileaks about the media using their headlines to set agenda?
It will be interesting to watch the polling this year when the credible pollsters get serious a few weeks out. I don’t have a land line and don’t answer cell calls unless I know who is calling. For all intents, I can’t be polled. In and of itself, this will introduce an inherent bias in the polls.
Hillary will get a 10 point lead over Trump post DNC.
And that would be the story (same lead of polls) till Nov.
Us rubes just don’t understand that Hillary is loved by all Americans and will win by acclamation!
Trump got a bounce, anyone telling you otherwise is lying or intentionally manipulating their samples to get a desired outcome.
This is where we are folks... Hillary is at traditional support levels among the democratic base.. (or at least was up until the DNC Leaks).... Trump is down 12 points behind average support for a Republican candidate by republicans, and up roughly 20 points among independents, and even with this Hillary is basically running tied with Trump nationally.
Hillary has maxed out her base, Trump has a good bit of base to go... but Trump has a 20% edge among independents.
So Hillary can only win if she can get about 15% of independents to move to her, that are currently supporting Trump... Not bloody likely. Trump on the other hand has plenty of room to continue to grow, by simply winning over the hold outs in the Republican base... Will he get em all? No, but he will get enough that by election day he’ll be darn close to historical averages of support among repubilcans... and with that, and a 20% lead among independents (which I expect to grow as well) Hillary gets blown out... Landslide.
This week, Trump easily gained in the polls because Cruz’s speech alone probably got a good bit of that 12% of republicans on board with Trump who previously were not.
Add to this, the reverse bradly effect Trump has in his polling which will slowly shrink, but not fully disappear now that he is officially the nominee.
These factors alone would give Trump a few points gain in the polls 3% on the low end, without him personally doing or saying anything else.
Anyone that is realistic saw that the Repub convention went well. The two disruptions were small sideshows that are now forgotten. The kids were super. Donald was very good.
Trump should get an additional bounce after the Demo melee-uh-I-mean-convention concludes.
The Demo convention is creating tons of fodder for Trump.
How about that fence around their podium?
NBS=BS
NBC=BS
Live by the POLLS. Die by the POLLS.
POLLS are DARK . . DARK . . DARK . . DARK . . DARK . . DARK
ONLINE TRACKING POLL? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Self-selection of the worst kind! You might as well poll the DNC!
“Poll: No Post-Convention Bounce for Donald Trump”
ROTFLOL!
Every poll in the nation shows Trump with a SIGNIFICANT post-convention bounce except the NBC poll! I wonder why that is?
Strange; other polls show quite a bounce (3 to 6 points, Romney got none in 2012) but then again NBC poll and Reuters appear to be the most biased in terms of sampling and results.
Poll asks if you have a more favorable rating of republicans after the convention?
not which candidate are you giving your vote?
Garbage in garbage out.
Different kind of campaign. There was no real need for a showcase, but Trump certainly firmed up the support he already had. Hillary Clinton isn’t going to get a “bounce” either.
I was expecting a bridge. So disappointed.
NBC carries the flag for the defunct Nazi Ministry of Propaganda.
