Every smug quip out of Obama’s mouth over the laundered money snuck off in violation of law ate every point of a lead she had. The more they flout the law like we are ignoring it for our monthly food stamps EBT allowance just isn’t the reality. Yet.

It’s a basic truth. Look how the pollsters will keep an election “close” all the way and then on the eve of voting call it correctly to maintain their “reputation.” Media companies doing their own polling is just an effort to keep the candidate on the downside buying more ads.

Like I said, it’s a racket. Completely.

Comrade dictator obama got a little bounce, but that's about as much as you can expect from lead balls.

>She never had a lead, IMO; pure RAT propaganda and manipulation.

She did actually. Moderate GOPers had a complete freak out last week over the media blitzkrieg launched on Trump. They’re slowly starting to switch back. Being respectable is all they care about.

Adding numbers from all 50 states over samples rural states like Idaho & Montana in comparison to CA & NY.

However if you look at results of 1000 people polled IN EACH STATE, and add up the electoral votes from those states won by Trump, it will be very good snapshot of voters.

Could there possibly be a poll worth a damn right now?

The polls are all over the place and probably will be right up until the end. The key thing to know is that, with every advantage in the world given to her, Hillary can’t put this gaffe-plagued unskilled reality tv novice away which is what has the Democrats and the GOP Elite so unhinged. Keep up the pressure and something will crack.

This media we have can no way, ever, claim to be "unbiased" after this completely obvious BS.

That's been blatantly obvious since 1992 and the advent of "advocacy journalism". Before then, a public facade of impartiality had to be maintained to be taken seriously. After that, a journalist could be so rabidly one-sided as to be grossly unfair and it no longer was disparaged by their media peers.

“I LIKE TO GET THEM ON THE PHONE AND TRY TO SEE HOW LONG I CAN KEEP THEM TALKING BEFORE THEY HAVE TO GET RUDE.”

I politely tell them that I need to retrieve something from the oven and ask if they can hold a moment. They always say yes. I periodically pick the telephone up to see if they are still there. Most of the time they are not allowed to hang up on you. You can keep them on the telephone 1/2 an hour or more

It came out that the Reuters poll was rigged because they manipulated the data which skewed the result. The truth of the mater is that a lot of the internal polling has shown a ten point lead for Trump. Also do not forget about the closeted Trump supporters who secretly support Trump but do not admit it when surveyed. I hope Trump does get the landslide that the honest polls indicate he could be getting so as to offset any attempts of stealing the election as was done to Sanders. This election is shaping up to be a battle between sentient people who know what’s going on and non sentient people who do not know or care about what’s going on. Informed voter versus non informed or low information voter.

Hey all I know is this, I can’t believe even Mickey Mouse or a frigging mop head for that matter isn’t wiping Hillary all over the place.
Hillary is the weakest candidate ever put up by the left. This race should have been over upon her nomination.

I think Donald will find a way to increase her lead again, I’m sorry to say.

Hillary’s not a potted plant you know? She’s bound to open her foolish mouth and step in it too.

One Trump can beat a 1000 Hillarys. Hillary’s actually the biggest joke ever to run for president. Trump picked the perfect time to run.

Reuters polled 15% more Democrats than Republicans.

Do you own poll on Facebook. Go to Trumps Presidential FB page and Hillary’s PresidntiL FB page to poll your FB friends.

I have 46 friends for Trump and 6 for Hillary. Believe me I have friends of all types of backgrounds. If this is any sign, then the election will not even be close.

This race [Hillary's defeat] should have been over upon her nomination.

Normally, you'd be right, but with the entire Left Wing Media & Uni-Party Establishment (but I repeat myself) propping her up continuously, while simultaneously smearing Trump in every despicable way possible, she's barely managing to maintain her viability.

These crooks are going to continue pulling out all the stops from now until November in an effort to destroy Trump (and his supporters) and drag Hillary across the finish line.

Honestly, I don't think they'll be able to do it. I think Hillary's phony facade will start to crack, the voters will wake up, and eventually even elements of the Uni-party will abandon her, out of a sheer instinct self-preservation.

As things stand, the Establishment is adequately compensating for Hillary's weakness. But I think they'll tire eventually.

If she didn't have the entire corrupt DC cartel on her side, Hillary would have no chance.

For the sake of the Republic, vote Trump!
