Maybe it’s the sympathy for Michael Brown of Ferguson that is turning MO to the left again.

Well, there was an attempt to replicate Ferguson in Columbia, MO. via MU.. but since we have a Republican controlled legislative body they started to pull MU funding. With NO source of income things have gone 'quiet'... at least on the surface... IF the evangelicals follow Cruz's 'conscience' voting requirements and will not vote Trump, Hillry could take the state.

Monmouth’s ‘likely voter’ is an odd one.

Missouri is becoming redder while Virginia is becoming bluer due to the growth of DC suburbs in NoVa.

I don’t believe any of the polls are accurate any more. I think it was Reuters proven to be manipulating polls not long ago, another highly suspicious.

Trump rallies are all filling stadiums to capacity, 3000 to 5000 people every time, Hillary can’t fill a basketball court, and they expect me to believe Trump is barely tied or 1 point ahead?

Trump is on the news everywhere non stop every day, Hillary is being protected by the mainstream news, if they mention her at all it’s to make up excuses for her latest scandal, he’s out hitting campaign stops, Louisiana flood and TV interviews with virtually anyone who asks, she’s hiding out and doing fundraisers.

I don’t believe any of the polls any more, I don’t think it’s realistic to think Trump is less than 10 points ahead now. Especially after embarrassing Obama and Hillary in Louisiana. That may take a few days to show up, but it will help his poll numbers. If they don’t go up by this weekend, we know the polls are being rigged.

In my memory MO has swung both ways depending on the race. They’ve elected a lot of Democrats that is for sure. Similar to Kentucky I think. Places you would expect to be conservative but are not always.

“I don’t believe any of the polls are accurate any more.”

At least one of the polls in each field has to be right or at least within the margin of error.

This poll is five points and 5% is a wide margin.

I’ll second guess any poll that has a moe greater than 3.75%.

350 EVs, lets hope not. IF so, this is proof why the libs want the immigration gates wide open. Our nation’s demographics are changing fast and we better figure out how to stop it and appeal to the conservative social core of immigrants from south of the border. The answer is not to attack 51% of the electorate by shifting left with the dems but to figure out a way to appeal to the new immigrants and commie millenials with the standard Reagan message. Enough shifting left down the toilet bowl.

Monmouth, who changed party ID from D+2 to D+8 on a national poll when they didn’t like the result. If I read it right, they have the poll as even. According to Gallup Missouri is R+8. So Trump is probably up by 9 in Missouri

If it’s like the PA poll Monmouth did, the ACTUAL poll showed Trump up 2, so they went back and jiggered the data til they got what they want.

Trump will win Mizzou, won’t be close. The only thing Clinton is hanging onto are polls and CNN. The damn is breaking on her, by election we will be riding the Trump wave. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok. According to Gallup MO is R+8 in party ID. So Trump is ahead by 10. Monmouth are frauds. If they fudge a national poll by 6, they can fudge a state poll by 9.

Is this the poll that Monmouth “adjusted” when Trump came out too far in the lead?

"There was a great deal of talk about the Bradley Effect in 2008 but very little talk about the Bradley Effect in 2012."

Blacks turned out to vote for a black candidate at a higher rate than whites turned out to vote for a patrician candidate. I suppose that would be the "Obama effect". (But the polls were screwed up for a reason other than race in 2012. And are for yet another reason in 2016.)
