Good news out of Florida

I have not seen a Clinton sticker yard sign in over month here in Florida and I travel all over the north east part of the state a lot.

I can hear it now.

Trump wipes the mat with her in November.

Then the Left starts screaming about vote fraud because the polls showed Hillary was in the lead or very close.

Read the write-up on this. Trump is wiping her with Indies, only trails by 5 with women, has 20% of the AA vote and 40% of the Hispanic vote. There is absolutely no way he is only up by 2. It would be more like 8-10 with those numbers.

Don’t worry, Nate Silver will find a problem with this poll.

[Voluntaryist]

How can he only be up by two if this is the case??

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

If he’s doing that well with women, imagine how good he’s doing with men. Ouch!

As for his vote in the minority groups, that’s the icing on the cake.

This is looking very good.

I was on the freeway yesterday and did not see one bumper sticker for any of the 3 candidates. I did see a Bernie bumper sticker however. This makes me think that in liberal Seattle, Hillary is not doing well. Seattle love to flaunt their love for liberals.

already posted. But post again.

Here in Suburban Chicago still no signs for either candidate.

What if polls were faked in order to influence public opinion, like the global warming data was?

What reason do we have to think these polls are fair and accurate? Algores fake data also came from a so-called respected university.

If you look at the demographics spreads how the hell is it only 2 points. Looks like it should by 7ish

“I was on the freeway yesterday and did not see one bumper sticker for any of the 3 candidates.”

FWIW, the little Hospital H’s for Herself are not real easy to notice.

[dp0622]

I JUST SAID THAT :) But i was looking at the male, female and independent spread.

Excellent numbers

[cowboyusa]

My family are die-hard Democrats, but they seem disgusted with Clinton. They don't like Trump, but seem like they are wavering.

[TakebackGOP]

How reliable are FAU polls?

[usafa92]

Better than the St Leo University poll with Clinton up 14 yesterday

[FrdmLvr]

The gap for AA voters appears to be closing. Trump’s just getting started with them.

[cowboyusa]

It's D plus six. There is no way that that is the registration numbers in FL. He is probably up by 6.5
