CNN Poll of Polls: Clinton's lead cut in half

Posted on 09/02/2016 8:45:08 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Washington (CNN)CNN's latest Poll of Polls finds Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump has been cut in half, with her post-convention bump wilting in the late-summer heat.

Clinton holds an average of 42% support to Trump's 37% across five nationwide telephone polls conducted between August 9 and 30. That 5-point lead represents a strong starting point for Clinton heading into the fall campaign season, but a CNN Poll of Polls earlier in the month averaging polls conducted in the week after Clinton's convention in Philadelphia found the Democrat ahead by 10 points, 49% to 39%. The shift brings the race back to where it was before the conventions in July. In a CNN Poll of Polls before either convention, Clinton topped Trump by an average of four points.

Trump is rising. Hillary is sinking.
There is no lead, CNN is full of BS.

Trump needs Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pa, and one or two others to bring this home.

In reality, Trump is ahead.

The MSM will never admit it because it screws up their “Inevitable Hillary” meme.

If Hillary was ahead, it would be quite obvious.

She’s polling around 40%, has no real traction and every one who isn’t for Trump already are not admitting they do intend to vote for him.

That’s true with the so-called third party candidate vote.

There’s no upside for Hillary.

Begs the question that has her “lead” really been cut in half, or are they just being more honest because they’ve been called out for their bias?

“This is not a poll. It’s an average of old polls. Useless.”

Pure propaganda to try and make Hillary look good.

I think most of Gary’s 9 or 10% will peel off to Trump at crunch time.

In RCP Trump its Hillary by 4 points in the 2-way and by 3 points in the 4-way race at this moment.

I’m pretty sure if i randomly polled 100 people walking down the street that 97% have never heard of Gary Johnson. I think that 10% in polling comes from his name coming next after Hillary and Trump and they just select him. They probably aren’t going to vote at all, and honestly I think Johnson is pulling more from Hillary than from Trump. I think Trumps ceiling is about 45%. I think Hillary’s ceiling is about 45%.

BS.

There won’t be a four-way race. People aren’t going to throw away their votes on someone who can’t win.

That’s going to become clear by November 8.

Telephone? What’s that? Did they mean cell phone?

Telephone? Didn’t they used to have those in little booths that Clark Kent used to change clothes?

THINK YOU ARE HAVING A STROKE (HILLARY)? CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY!

F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember the sudden signs of stroke. When you can spot the signs, you’ll know that you need to call 9-1-1 for help right away. F.A.S.T. is:

F Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven?
A Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?
T Time to call 9-1-1 – If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.

These are 5 polls spread through a months period. Problem is Trump has greatly increased support in the last 2 weeks. They had to average 5 to get better numbers for Hillary. If they took the last poll only Trump is tied or ahead.

Considering it is the combined effects of the Sun’s output and water vapor that determines all of our climate, does the Sun or water get to say 5 Hail Mary’s and 2 Our Father’s and we can call it washed clean them move on?

I have it a bit differently.

NY, Virginia, Florida, Pennsy, Ohio and North Carolina.

Any 3 state combination should give Trump the White House.

I don’t know why people are writing off NY for Hillary. Trump is from NYC. He employed thousands there. Hillary is a carpetbagger who came to NY to steal a senate seat. Trump just needs to run that ad and it’s over.

More BS. No way Trump has fell 2 points since their last “poll of polls”.
