It will be a blowout.

Trump is a master strategist (however much he is new to politics).

Trump and Manafort will make sure that this is a blowout.

The Trump brand depends on it.

What I believe is that he is leading 7 to 10% across the board.

“Douglas Rivers, a Stanford University political science professor and chief scientist for YouGov, which conducts online polls with such partners as CBS and the Economist, disagrees. “What do they know about these people?” Rivers says. “We worry a lot about who we’re talking to.””

“What do they know about these people?” Rivers says. “We worry a lot about who we’re talking to.””

Yeah, exactly, so they can skew their polls to the results they want.

Clinton is still advertising in California. That’s got to be a good sign for her to be spending $ here.

I promise not to gloat towards the few liberal acquaintances I currently have, after the Donald takes the Bitch down.

It’s anonymous, making it more a more realistic polling of people’s intentions...

Interesting.

It’s always a little dicey just relying on internet respondents, etc.

BUT.

I think there is also something to be said about the atmosphere that has been created by the MSM which probably makes some folks afraid to tell traditional pollsters (many of whom are affiliated with that same MSM) that they’re supporting Trump. This app may genuinely be reflecting some reality because that reticence is negated by it.

At least he is not wasting a lot of money on expensive backdrops.

Can’t be true. NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, all have Clinton ahead by as much as 20%. And because they are TV that means the polls are right.

It’s definitely interesting, of course we have no internals but it’s at least encouraging.

Also interesting that they referred to seeing this trend with their app during the primaries and it went against the conventional wisdom of the polls.

Interesting. I didn’t see it alluded to, but I am assuming you can vote only once.

The interviewer is a moron, but the app developer sounds like a solid guy. Very interesting how the developer notes that people are being more honest using his app because they are truly anonymous, and aren’t so worried about getting abused for supporting Trump. And I think he is making a good point.

Hope this is right but Real Clear averages usually prove true.

Remember how it show Obama would beat Romney even thought Romney had huge crowds.
