Thursday, September 22, 2016 With the first presidential debate coming on Monday, Donald Trump has moved to a five-point lead over Hillary Clinton, his biggest advantage since mid-July. The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch telephone and online survey finds Trump with 44% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 39%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson earns eight percent (8%) of the vote, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein holds steady at two percent (2%). Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are still undecided.

Hillary’s absolute max capable was 42-43. Her deplorable comment alone made hitting 40 almost impossible for her.. Her collapse at 9/11 combined with all the lies about it on top of that means 40 is most likely a pipe dream for her now.

Now let’s add in a few more terror attacks and bussed in thugs burning down Charlotte to the mix.

At this point, unless Trump were to completely self destruct at the debates Hillary’s best case is to keep her loss under 10 points.

The Washington terrorist endorsing Hillary can’t help going into this week and the debates. Heck, the only way she can tell the difference between a terrorist and a regular voter is when they detonate. Not a good trait for someone who believes they can lead us.

I agree with you, but her support is still about 30% too high! ;)

Heh---good one.

So I guess entertaining Syrian refugees at a State Dinner might not be a good idea.

They are no longer helping Clinton, so removing them helps maintain the lie that Clinton is winning.

Also notice that many of the polls under-represent the number of independents because Trump is winning them by about 20%. Some of that is because conservatives changed their affiliation in disgust.

The real takeaway from this election is that Hillary would be 50 points behind if the media had not gone into a full blown propaganda on her behalf.

And Trump is the only one of our candidates that could withstand the media’s onslaught and win.

I would want to contact a baker who can make a hat out of fortune cookie dough or something similar just in case.

That statement about the best qualified candidate to ever run for president has to rank among the most absurd statements Obummer has ever made.

I know Ras only polls likely eligible voters, not the general population, like the other polls. Maybe that’s the reason.

Rasmussen juices its polls in Hillary's direction more than most, so Trump is likely up Nationally by MORE than 5,

USC(LA Times) juices about the same amount, and if you measure the center of this "orange" channel vs the center of this "blue" channel
they also show Trump leading by 5 points nationally (and increasing)
But both of those polls juice their results by MORE than just the DEM/GOP distribution. There is also Male/Female juicing going on, Age bracket juicing, and more...

so with all the poll-cheating going on, Trump might be up nationally by even 10 or more.

Rasmussen was like +3 R in 2008 and 2012 relative to how the actual vote went...the LA Times poll equiv in 2012 was spot on. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love them to be even more than they say but its unlikely.

We know, or at least think we do that that many factions have teamed up to oppose Trump.

The media, the Left (same thing), Democrats (same thing again), the NeverTrumpers, the so-called Conservative talking heads, the RNC, the GOPe..., they’re openly quiet, but I think they’re still seething. Some folks have come out and made their statements of support, but you have to wonder just how much they are working to make their announced pick, become the president.

In this atmosphere, it’s very hard for me to think the polling places are being even handed with the polls. If they liked Trump more than Clinton right now, I suspect we’d be seeing a vastly different situation being portrayed right now.

So this puts people like me in a bad position. I don’t believe their polls, I think they are biased and manipulating them, but I can’t say for a fact they are. Are they? If they are, by how much?

My measuring stick has been the thousands and tens of thousands that show up for Trump every other day to sometimes two or three times a day.

When you see what Hillary has been up to, very sparse crowds, cancelling events, clearing having what seem to be severe medical issues, it’s just impossible for me to believe the polls.

If that is wishful thinking, so be it. There is clearly more fire in the belly of Trump supporters. Perhaps Hillary’s support will have a big payday on the 8th of November. If that can be proven, I think it’s election tampering and should be actionable.

If she were to win, I think the outcome should be invalidated.

This woman is that corrupt. I don’t want her to be able to add stealing an election to her list of misdeeds.

I’d wish for the 8th to be here this Tuesday, but there’s still a lot of shaking out to be done. Time will come down on our side if my instincts are correct.

I think they are a rolling average, so when he’s ahead by five, he may actually be ahead by 8 or 9. The trajectory will continue as you predict unless something major occurs to correct it the other way. I fully see this a blow out.
