Poll: Donald Trump Sees 17-Point Positive Swing in Two Weeks
Breitbart ^ | July 28, 2016 | by ALEX SWOYER

16 Republican nominee Donald Trump gained 17 points in roughly two weeks, according to the Reuters online tracking poll.

On July 14, 2016, Trump was 15 points behind Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton 46.5 percent to 31.5 percent. However as of July 26, 2016, Trump closed that 15 point gap and is now up two points over Clinton, 40.2 percent to 38.5 percent.

The Reuters/IPSOS polling data was fairly consistent during the Republican primaries — keeping Trump in the lead from February through May, which proved to be accurate.

And Reuters is heavily rigged for the Democrats.

Trump is up by a lot more than 2.

“If I saw Goldberg in the street, I’d just chuckle and think, “That poor bastard; if I ever see Kristol in the street, I’d tell him he’s a disgrace to conservatism.”

If I saw Kristol in the street, he’d be getting a nose job.

That is a remarkable swing. It has been a very bad few weeks for Clinton and Trump has vanquished is pathetic Republican rivals and their NeverTrump effort. Isn’t it great to have a winner?!

The earlier polls were bogus!

And don't panic when the new polls come out showing Clinton ahead again.

Ok, that's very funny!

I agree that Trump was never down by 15 to begin with, but I think the swing in this poll just add another data point to the reality that Trump has gained a lot of ground over the past 2 weeks, a bounce which started well before his convention.

Agreed, 17 is a bit of a stretch, but the trend has been accurate. I’m a young freeper so I cannot say I have been through many elections, but this has been one of the most entertaining presidential elections I have seen. Watching the democratic party on their sinking ship has been more entertaining than any movie this year. And I am expecting more as we get closer to November.

Trump’s just getting warmed up. Hillary may be her own enemy worse than Trump is. We’ll see. Wouldn’t be surprised to see her tank before the general election and the DNC try to put Hussein up there for a third term.

If this keeps up the Dems are going to get REAL desperate.

At that point I would start expecting the worst.

- A trumped-up (to coin a phrase) attempt to indict Trump on phony tax charges.

- An attempt on Trump’s life

- A swarm of out-of-control race riots that would allow Obama to declare martial law and postpone the election.

We’re heading into dangerous uncharted waters here. These people are not going to relinquish power without pulling out ALL the stops.

Trump is down 9 points in PA in a new Suffolk U. poll today.....that’s a nightmare. Suffolk U. is a good poll. If this is not an outlier, and other pols show the same trend, then I would suggest Trump pull his resources out of there & hit NH, Iowa, VA & Nevada hard.

I see Trump winning.

If my dream happens I will be most happy. If I am mistaken, and I am usually wrong, I will join Rosie O’Donnell and the rest in Switzerland. She won’t be there of course. The only other nations for Americans fleeing from Armageddon is Hungary!

Poland would be next on my list.

The poll has african americans at 13.2 of voters when they are 10 percent of population and whites at 77 when they are 83 percent of population, also have hillary almost even with men. I dont discard polls, not even saying Trump will win pennsylvania but if hillary wins men in pennsylvania, then this country is doomed and there is no hope.

No way Trump is down 9 here.

What is the polling methodology? I think they are likely highly oversampling urban Philly and Pittsburgh.

NO way Hillary leads with men in PA.
We’ve never seen a candidate who so blatantly wants to take your guns. No way men here are buying that.

17-Point Positive Swing in Two Weeks

B.S. The level of the lie was too incredible to be sustained. This early there is still probably a 7 pt spread between what is stated and reality.

The big difference between marist and suffolk and ppp and quinnipiac in pennsylvania is the difference they both show vis a vis men voters. Marist and suffolk have clinton basically even while quinnipiac and ppp have close to 20 point leads for trump.

Hillary is an unindicted criminal . How could any rational person support that. She hasn’t had a news conference in a year because she cannot face the obvious questions!! People who support her are parasites on working people and want more stuff from the working class.
