This poll is gonna be updated from here on out daily at 830a. Last week same poll had Trump up by 5. These are the first post debate #'s. Since its been up since 830a I'm surprised to be first to post this today. Trump has to stick to his Vision during debate, and not try to get caught up in her stupid data bombs. His vision on immigration, economics, and everything else is so much letter and he needs to stay focused on conveying such, and bring up her scandals at the same time.
“...but they aren’t allowed to look over your shoulder as you vote.”
For now! If The Beast wins, all bets are off.
Horse kaka.
Quite possible she loses by 10pts.
You are right. You are also one of the few here on FR who understand the difference between strategic and tactical thinking.
And for those who will point out all the post-debate polls about Trump winning the debate, that is BS as well. How many times have we seen threads here titled “FREEP that poll!”?

Here’s a question for you. Are you familiar with the expression, “first impressions are lasting impressions”? Well, those flash polls are the first thing seen by the public and if you actually believe the majority or even close to it knows or cares about the difference between a scientific or Unscientific poll I would give long odds against you being right.
I am not here claiming Trump won this debate because strictly on style points he did not and a panel of debate judge’s would say Clinton “won”. But if you believe perception is reality and if you believe enthusiasm for a candidate is important in determining turnout (which of course is what wins elections, then Trump while not “winning” the debate clearly did not “lose” the debate.
Mainly Trumps job in THIS debate was to appear to be NOT the insane, unhinged blowhard he has been portrayed as by Clinton and the bought and paid for media, who btw is NOT trusted by something over 70% of the folks.
Clinton threw everything they had at Trump and is effectively out of ammunition. Trump has all the arrows yet in his quiver, Benghazi, emails, Clinton Foundation.
We are seeing the difference between the approach to the election in the campaigns. One campaign is thinking strategically while the other is using the short term r tactical approach. This approach is most often used to attempt to fix an immediate problem, to stop the bleeding as it were. This tactical approach oft times is at the expense of a later strategic plays because assets which may be needed in the final drive are no longer available, or if some are they are diminished in value (old news).
Army Training, Sir! :)
It’s what I always say. We can’t cheer when we get good polls if we say the same polls are bogus when they aren’t going our well.
Agreed all around.
No one believes that.
The polls are biased and agenda-driven, not merely inaccurate.
