This validates USC’s polling, which shows Clinton up .6%

Yes but (fortunately for Rassmussen) “Trump has been steadily losing ground since mid-July when his support peaked at 44%”

What?? There was a dude on Fox this morning, who said Hillary is on target to get 340+ electoral votes, well over the 270 needed for election. He made it sound as if this election is all but over. How can all these polls be so out of line with each other???

No way will Johnson/Weld get 9 per cent of the vote. Most of that should go to Trump. Same with Stein/Barack. No way are they getting 3%. Maybe Crooked Hillary gets some of that.

We had both Johnson and Stein running in 2012 and they combined for maybe 1 per cent of the vote. No way are they combining for 12 per cent this year.

I understand some disgruntled "Never Trumpers" are parking their votes with Johnson right now but they will come around. They will never admit it but so long as they do the right thing when they get behind the curtain of the polling booth, I can handle that.

Her ickyness can’t stay and fight on a day to day basis. She has to take four days off. So, in those four days, Trump has unlimited opportunities to point out her incompetence, and the only thing that her campaign can do is to have the surrogates try to fight back. Interesting that Obama has basically bailed on her, saying he is tired of talking about Trump.

(tongue-in-cheek)New poll conducted by MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS shows Hillary up 99.9% TO .01% For Trump!. Hillary expected to win all 57 States! Her campaign rallies attended by hundred’s of thousands, many turned away!

Trump needs to keep the pressure on.

This isn’t dis-similar to Reagan-Carter in the sense that, no one wanted Carter, but they had to feel “safe” voting for Reagan. Hillary and the media are trying to make it more like Goldwater vs LBJ.

Of course now, the major media is unified in an comical way to paint one narrative.

I still say the Debates will be the story. If Trump is simply seen as competent and a leader, he will win. Hillary’s negatives are there.

Many on the left won’t vote Trump, but they might stay home if they feel it is safe to do so.

There never was a ‘gap’ - there was only push-polling by democrat propagandists.

There are too many visuals that proved them wrong.

Specifically, 10’s of thousands showing up for Trump, who gives 2 hour speeches, to find hundreds of police who have shown up on their own time to escort him,

-vs-

HilLIARy crapping her pants, doing 3, 10-minute speeches a week, and barely able to fill half a gymnasium with 300 people (and she has to pay some of them)

State polls are a lagging indicator.

Hillary won’t get 340 EV once they fall in line.

Was the dude Karl Rove?

The press can keep hammering the “floundering campaign,” but it doesn’t look like reality. I am certainly biased, but I see Trump already acting as if he’s President. Heck, even the Mexican president is starting to recognize that.

Rasmussen is not a liberal pollster. Quite the opposite

No wasn’t Rove. I forget the name of the guy but he said Hillary is well ahead in battleground states, so according to him that seals the deal for Hillary.
