Trump Scores High In Luntz Focus Group

A focus group conducted by Republican pollster Frank Luntz consistently agreed that Donald Trump delivered better answers on a host of issues during Sunday's presidential debate and outperformed his Democratic opponent overall.

...

When participants were asked to choose who had delivered a better performance halfway through the 90-minute debate, 17 of the voters chose Trump while only four chose Clinton.

...

Trump's highest moment during the first half the debate was when he vowed to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton if he is elected president, and told the former secretary of state she should be "ashamed of herself" for misleading the American public on the email issue.

"I think what you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 emails that you deleted and that you acid-washed and then the two boxes of emails and other things that were taken from an office ... and now are missing," Trump had said to Clinton.

Voters were impressed by Trump's responses when the billionaire was asked about Obamacare and they felt his apology for the lewd language he used in leaked audio tapes from 2005 was sincere. More participants were concerned with Clinton's email practices than they were with the audio tapes that have caused numerous Republican lawmakers to rescind their endorsement of Trump.

Dems are squealing like stuck pigs about the prosecution of Hillary. They want you to think Trump would have her thrown in prison fifteen minutes after he’s sworn in.

While that would be nice, I thought he was pretty clear that he would have his AG appoint a special prosecutor to investigate.

Woo Hoo! Go Trump!

Drudge poll got hijacked by a machine or something it was giving Hillary 3000 votes every 3 minutes.

Better put some ice on that, Hillary.

He systematically ripped into her for all the lies, crimes to her face in front of 100 million people. He said what needed to be said that no one would ever say about her. That made everything worthwhile

They did this to a LOT of online polls. These polls were critical because they showed actual people expressing their opinions. Now they're using bots to game these polls.

[who knows what evil?]

Indeed...look how Hillary is ‘closing the gap’ in the Drudge poll.

Megan Kelly grimaced a painful look when Frank Luntz explained how GREAT Donald Trump did among his focus group of undecided voters.



I have highlighted the area where Megan did her pained grimace!

Frank Luntz: "I have to be..., I have to acknowledge something here... I thought at it was all over for Donald Trump. And when these people walked in here, I was pretty sure of it. Based on their [the focus group's] response, and I hope to bring more of it to you later on in the show, I have to change my mind. I actually think that tonight was SO significant, that he is back in this race.

If this video disappears, find another one, but the longer the better. Preferrably around 3:40 in length.

Those who love Hillary are flooding YouTube with hundreds of copies of SHORTER versions of this video trimed to about 3;10, so that most or all of Luntz's (Trump-friendly) summary is cut off.

Trump wont need to appoint a Special Prosecutor if he wins. Obama will Pardon her.

That is the key point from the debate.

[Terry Mross]

Maybe the American people are finally getting fed up with two sets of laws in this country.

Trump also convinced me he will fight like hell if there’s evidence of voter fraud. Even if he wins.

[petercooper]

Best. Debate. Ever.

From the fly, to the “You’d be in jail”, to the women Bubba abused, to the explanation of Hillary’s client who raped a 12 year old, etc... I know there were more. Did I miss Trump talking about foreign donors to Hillary?

[ganeemead]

This was a legitimate $100 show.

[lilypad]

The dems will not sit back and let this defeat stand. Watch out for every low down dirt trick in the book to be thrown out at Trump.

[virgil]

I’m just waiting for their next attack. They never give up.

I think Trump won by far, but not because of any Luntz focus group. I don’t take Luntz seriously.
