Poo poo the polls at Trump’s peril.
We haven’t had a single debate yet and all is lost?
I don’t think that most people are “poo pooing” the polls. Trump consistently does better in likely voter polls, where he is about 1-6% behind, than registered voter polls. At this time, the polls that show Hillary with a large lead, over 6%, are mostly registered voter polls.
August is not the time people are focused upon the Presidential campaign. Trump is still within striking distance, and he has a significant amount of cash.
That said, he does need to come out swinging with commercials once the Olympics and the Labor Day weekend are over. September and October are critical to establish himself as a reasonable alternative to Hillary.
Your point is well taken, but I’m not poo-pooing the polls. I am seeking to point out that part of the purpose of at least some of the polls is to dispirit the patriot vote. I want people to not let the polls affect them in a negative way, but to use them to spur them on!
