Can others look at the methodology behind this. I'm looking at it and the main thing that strikes me is seeing the "Party Identification" and this has those surveyed at 25% "Strong Democrats" versus 17% "Strong Republicans, with the total Dem versus Repub sample at 50% versus 38%. It is so obvious what this is about and (for the lack of a better analogy, forgive me) it comes across like a woman wearing a loud, cheap perfume or has a run in her pantyhose.

So, just because Trump made a few rather trivial gaffes, we're going to allow HRC-appointed SCOTUS justices to throw away the 1st and 2nd Amendments with 'hate speech' laws and gun grabs?
Get ready kids, the next 8 years are going to be a rocky ride.

Its fairly apparent that Trump is struggling in the polls right now. Its a reality we have to deal with. Is it as bad as they are saying? Perhaps not, but clearly he is doing worse than he was right after the convention. He has time to pull off the comeback though.

There is a huge, silent, hardworking, law-abiding, and taxpaying majority who are not being measured.
Those enthusiastic voters will carry Donald Trump to victory this autumn and pollsters will never see it coming.
To: OttawaFreeper
All the while tens of thousands attend rallies for Trump and two to five hundred show up for Hillary.

No worries. Trump is doing fine with independents. If Amnesty Ryan wants to the destroy the GOP by campaigning against Trump then this election is on him.

Boy you swallow the media hype hook-line-and sinker, don’t you?
I would have expected FREEPERS to by now regard anything from the media as suspicious.
I expect this ‘sample’ had +16 oversampling democrats in order to accomplish their goal.
These are the same polls that predicted Trump woud never win the nomination.

My apologies, seems this was shown a fair bit yesterday. If nothing else, the way that this was cooked that these people could walk into the homes of diabetics and say that the majority of diabetics use insulin and declare that newsworthy.

Trump certainly seems to struggle in the polls. However, when you examine the internals, the struggling is certainly minimal. We also need to remember that many polls are manufactured to support a media narrative. Conservatives and other Trump supporters are being “gaslighted” by the MSM, GOPe, and DNC. Unfortunately, instead of steeling our resolve and fighting harder most of us retreat to savaging our own standard bearer and succumbing to the vapors.
