New National Poll Tells Different Story Than Media Narrative(Moreover, Trump Leads in 3 Nat. Polls)
Western Journalism ^ | August 26, 2016, 8:07 am | Jack Davis

"... this guy is a completely different ..."

A new poll shows Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump leading Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

The USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Daybreak tracking poll, which tracks Americans’ support for the presidential candidates on a daily basis, showed Trump leading Clinton 44.3 percent to 43.6 percent as of Friday.

The poll, which unlike other polls tracks the same population over time, represents a significant comeback for Trump, who as of Aug. 14 was trailing Clinton 46.3 percent to 41.6 percent.

Although the Real Clear Politics average of polls shows Trump trailing Clinton by about 6 points in polls taken between Aug. 1 and Aug 24, Trump campaign manage Kellyanne Conway recently told the BBC that Trump’s numbers are due to “cherry-picked polling numbers that are put out there by media outlets that are also bent on his destruction.”

Evidence of Trump’s improvement in the polls was also found in the latest Economist/YouGov poll. ...

Further, the poll showed that Trump is now supported by 84 percent of Republican voters, up from 75 percent.

“A couple of days ago he opined that he’s a radio guy, and he avoids tying his future to any one candidate”

He did? He’s not against the clintons getting in? Not even ostensibly?

That is weird. He’s never done that before

Beside that, if he doesn’t know he has. I future if she gets in, then he’s off his game. She’ll go after talk radio and shut it down pronto. He won’t even be fondly remembered for abdicating his role in nit being against her in this race. That’s what people expect of him. He’s built tgat reputation whether he thinks so or not

Well he’s not doing well on talk radio today at all. Why these guys want to discourage is beyond my comprehension

They get more listeners when it's a Dem in the White House, and things are going badly. If Trump wins and things go well, what will they have to talk about that will keep their audience interested?

Hillary C. is afraid to do press conferences. She knows she will have to lie again and again and again.

Rush was always Establishment until Obama came in. Remember he said when the GOP lost in 2006 that he wasn’t going to carry their water anymore?

Because Rush is not what he appears to be
Rush gave us McLain 2008
Rush gave us Romney 2012

I initially listened to him in the late 80s when he was local in Sacramento, and for some years afterwardds. But he changed for the worse even by the late 80s. I haven’t listened to him in years. Can’t stand him.

If the democrat gets in this time there will be no talk radio. And very quickly. Communication among conservatives, among American voters is the enemy of H. That they are not looking at that is very strange

It’s foolish to get all hopped up about polls three months from the election. Besides, the propaganda press still hasn’t explained how it completely missed Trump taking the Republican presidential nomination. One could get more accurate prognostications from Chinese fortune cookies, a coin toss or a magic eightball.

He also expressed embarrassment today over his wishful thinking about Romney in 2012. He thought then that the polls were underestimating Romney’s support, and he was dead wrong. He doesn’t want to be wrong again.

Look what has happened to the rabid primary supporters of Cruz. They’re now the radio equivalent of the people on the streets who keep all their belongs in a shopping cart. I can see where Rush doesn’t want to end up there, but COME ON, let’s see some backbone.

He calls trump supporters ‘trumpists”. There is more to this weirdness than just not wanting to be wrong about the polls. There’s a negativity.

A HRC landslide?

Yup; with her under the rubble!


Note to Hillary:

Don't visit Italy or the beaches of Normandy.

I can’t listen to Limbo anymore. He’s turning into an establishment hack entertainer.

And I’ve listened to him from the beginning.

[Rush is basically an establishment stooge. Would rather see Crooked Hillary win over Trump.]

Of course he does. The Clinton years were his biggest money making/listenership years.

Cool. Commentary on the all knowing, all self-absorbed blah-blah
Rushie.

Did he talk about his airplane today, or golf? Or was it football? Interspersed with commercial comments about water heaters.

Quit listening years ago. He stopped being interesting after he had his drug problems.
