Even before The Washington Post reported on a 2005 recording of Donald Trump making crude comments about exploiting his celebrity to sexually assault women, Hillary Clinton's campaign was on the upswing. Her strong performance in the first presidential debate had pushed her national polling numbers up fairly quickly. Not as quickly as after the party conventions, mind you, but even before a new NBC-Wall Street Journal poll released on Monday, she led by about five points.
Then the new poll came out. As always, one poll could be an outlier. This poll has a relatively high margin of error of about 4.6 percent. It's always worth being cautious until more polls come in. But with all of those asterisks applied, the results of the poll are dramatic.
Clinton leads Trump in a four-way contest by 11 points with likely voters. In a one-on-one race, she leads by 14. That's up from their last polls by five and seven points, respectively.

This was a setup with Ryan and the RINos partnering with Hillary . Ryan had a copy of the tape , even before he endorsed Donald . So this just a theory , but they hatched a plan months ago to endorse Trump as appear to be in unity with the party knowing full well of the tape, and others to come that will drop. Ryan knew it was coming, and his plan all along was to lead a rebellion after its release and take the moral right with him so as to insure a Hillary win as to maintain the Washington gravy train of foreign money .. The phony polls, are just all part of the plan as to create a narrative that Ryan is leading a revolt ...but Too bad their plans are going to be a failure , like every other take down of Trump, it just backfires because the Washington insiders have no clue of how the electorate can see right through their lies.
At least we'll know where we stand.
It's better than "adults." Slightly better.
So what is it? You can tell they are lying when they can't get their story straight. "We didn't steal any cookies and besides it was Jimmy's idea."
I can’t wait to see the post-debate polls.
Trump is not that man anymore, but she is still that woman! There will probably be more tapes and or accusations coming up, I am sure, but he is defensible by by admission of a sordid past and asking Americans for forgiveness, she will not be.
Eventually Hillary's campaign will figure out that it does not help them.
Funny, Trump gained ground yesterday in the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll.
These polls are BS. Not talking “margin of error” BS, I’m talking about flat-out falsification and manipulation of the data.
You say it’s not? I say “Prove it’s not”. My assertion that it’s rigged is just as valid as anyone’s claim that it is legit. They flat-out made up data to support climate change and I say they’re doing it right now.
Forget all polls. Yes, even if they favor Trump. Put your faith in polls when they are favorable and you’ll have no choice but to believe them when they switch on the Phony Fact Machine and start just making crap up.
Fifty years of allowing the Democrats to import voters from the Third World is not without consequences.
Seems Clinton had refused to release his full medical records. Only two brief and evasive "summaries" had been shown to the press.
On the David Brinkley TV show, reporter Sam Donaldson repeated White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry's observation..... that Clinton had not revealed his complete medical records because it would be "embarrasing."
Sensing his poor choice of words, McCurry hurriedly changed that word to "confidential."
Compounding McCurry's blunder, Clinton immediately released a statement claiming to have taken both an AIDS and venereal disease test.
Absent from the long list of diseases NOT afflicting Clinton was DRUG ADDICTION AND CONDITIONS RELATED TO DRUG ADDICTION.
“don’t be under the illusion”
You seem very concerned. Glad you are here to dispel our illusions with your Washington Post opinion pieces.
Pretty much.
Pollster (young, female voice): "Trump said something really, really awful. He said "*****". Are you going to vote for him?" Polled: "Trump who?"
I would take any poll that includes in its sample any data obtained prior to this evening with several pounds of salt.
comPost is trying to sell this as “PussyGate” effect.
It isn’t. 500 registered voters. For NBC. IMMEDIATELY after the tapes hit the news. Nothing but a push poll.
BTW, I think the panic among RINOs is because they’ve been told more Trump crap is going to come out.
Let’s not go wobbly.
One lame attempt to change the narrative away from Donald Trump destroying Hillary in the 2nd debate.
That’s an unfounded allusion to facts not in evidence.
Trump is in deep, deep trouble?
He had two record capacity crowds in PA today.
Deep trouble, LOL! Jeff Bezos’s goons can go f*ck themselves.
“facts not in evidence”
____________
Democrats clearly in denial and Brian Williams alluded to that today suggesting maybe the MSM is delusional.
It was most certainly a hit job by the Republican Party.
Philip Bump and Charles Blow should get together and take turns twerking each other.
NO she doesn’t.
This manufactured narrative brought to you by Communists and Traitors for Cinton.
