Fox News Poll: Clinton leads Trump by 7 points
Fox News ^ | October 13, 2016 | Dana Blanton

Posted on 10/13/2016 3:48:48 PM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump has increased to seven points, as more than half of voters say he is not qualified to be president.

That’s according to a just-released national Fox News Poll of likely voters.

Clinton receives 45 percent to Trump’s 38 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson is at 7 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 3 percent. Last week, Clinton was up by two points in the four-way contest (44-42 percent).

Faux News sickens me. After faithfully watching them for decades, I can’t stomach their turn to the left. Sean and the Judge are all that I can stand.

this year self-identified Democrats have outnumbered self-identified Republicans by an average of three percentage points in Fox News polls...this is from the internals (what few of them I can find) of this poll - even assuming "self-identified" is close to what the actual number of voting Dems will be (and I think it will be more like -3), this would mean they over-sampled by their own standards by 6%, which means the real margin may be down to plus 1 for Hillary - there are so many ways to lie with numbers.......

+9 D sample. Trump tied or ahead. Based on all the other stuff we’re seeing, like whites requesting ballots +2 more than 2012 in OH, while blacks are -2, this is going to be a huge Trump win.

Merely adding 2% more whites to the 2012 numbers would have elected Romney.

This does not surprise me. The over-reaction to Trump’s admittedly gross jokes will fade.

If Trump stays on script and takes his message for restoring American to the people, they will respond with support.


Exactly. GOP never Trumpers are having another tantrum. They are such sheep. Most will be back by election day with the prospect of Hillary Criminal & her SCOTUS. Even Mark Levin is now mostly back on planet earth and pushing strongly for voting Trump.

Dems +9% in this poll.

2012 split was 39 / 37, Dem.

If Trump loses a big reason will be for not saturating the airwaves with negative ads, the way the dems have done against him.He’s not been helped any financially by the RNC because they want him to lose, and he’s so far he’s spent about 100 million of his own money. Wall St is spending a billion dollars to get the Queen of Corruption elected. Trump is basically on his own. That he’s done as good as he has with both parties against him and the media is a miracle.

After years of enjoying the ‘refreshing’ FNC, I now find it a challenge to turn it on. Watching paint dry would be an improvement and far less dangerous, no broken glass. Die, die, Die fast, set us free from this misery.

If this poll was D+9, then that's simply not an accurate reflection of likely turnout, and thus Hillary's +7 lead is unimpressive, to say the least. And the Independent sample in this poll is also ridiculously low.

If they took a poll that was D+12, and that resulted in Hillary being up by 9 points, I suppose your "not good" mantra would apply as well?

The FACT is, polls with reasonable party splits show the race tied or with Trump in the lead.

I simply don't understand the hand-wringing regarding a poll that is clearly not reflecting the likely turnout.

It's as if you want to accept the Media & Establishment (but I repeat myself) figures at face value, when it's obviously propaganda, based both on the actual numbers and what we know about who they're trying to prop up.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

I turned it on for the first 5 minutes. Switched over to OANN, they had Trump Leading, More Republicans than ever registering in PA, Trump Leading in Utah ... etc. I can’t believe the dif in coverage. Fox is REALLY in the tank for Hillary. What a helluva shame!

LOL. You’re still sunshine pumping I see. This election will be close. No reason to panic. Trump can and will win, IMO. But it’s not going to be a “huge” win with all the headwinds Trump is facing. You can take that to bank.

He’s a troll.

Whenever you see a poll like this, he posts that two word reply, and nothing else.

If he’s ahead, he posts nothing, and ignores the thread.

Ding...ding...ding! We have a winner!

SoFloFreeper posted this same idiotic two word post on several threads yesterday. As I mentioned, I truly believe he (or she) gets off on this. They take their little sh*ts on these threads with absolutely nothing to offer but their doom and gloom, eating whatever the lying POS in the media feed them.

SoFloFreeper, you are pathetic!

It’s a D+11 poll folks. It’s agitprop....fake, as in not real.


Nope. I think the polls are mostly accurate. Only losers start blaming the polls when their candidate is losing. Are the polls with Trump ahead fake too?

Trump would lose if the election was today. But it isn’t. Never Trumpers are tantruming again and Trump is facing some fall out from the stupid tape. Given that it is totally plausible he is down 5 or so points in the polls. No reason to panic. Trump can and will win. But wishful thinking just breeds over confidence and that is the last thing we need now.
