Donald Trump continues to slide in the polls ... (BARF ALERT!!)
AOL ^ | Oct 17th 2016 4:00AM | AOL.com Editors

Posted on 10/17/2016 6:50:20 AM PDT by imardmd1

According to FiveThirtyEight's Election Forecast, Trump entered October with a 32.7 percent
chance of winning the 2016 election. But after just two weeks, Trump now stands at a dismal
13.4 percent chance of victory according to polls and only 11.2 percent chance if the
election were held today, showing that perhaps even The Donald isn't immune to such a
mounting list of controversies.

Because we know the media and pollsters aren't colluding with Hillary’’s campaign. It's not 2012, not even close.

2012 was rigged and this one is set up for more rigging than the Cuttysark.

Natie Silver doesn’t understand the value of enthusiasm and polls that he doesn’t like.

We know from WikiLeaks that the entire lamestream media has been lying about the polls and colluding with each other on what the polls are to say.

538 hasn’t been reliable in ages.

False liberal bias doesn’t change reality.

Trump is going to be the next president.

I thought the Clinton nightmare was over long ago. I cannot fathom the people wanting to endure another 4 plus years of scandals. It makes me stomach sick.

I don’t believe Trump’s locker room talk or aledged ‘groping victims’ is enough to really cause that much of a slide in the polls to Hillary Clinton. If that is truly the case, then America deserves her. May God have mercy on us.

“Poll results aggregated from HuffPost Pollster, RealClearPolitics, polling firms and news reports.”

Huffpo and RCP, ok, I’m really scared now. /s

Turn out. Look at Trump’s rallies compared to clinton’s. No contest.

it is not about the rallies now. it is about the rallies six month ago, a year ago.

the crowds are the same.

my anecdotes are the people are disregarding the old media.

the kellys and cuomos and Mathews are being laughed at.

people see voting for trump as a stake through the heart of evil.

the old bitties who are zombie voting for Hillary would volunteer to go into blindfold and wall if it gave a PROMISE of free candy.

Pretty much how it works. I remember reading the exact same thing in 2008 and 2012. The polls are wrong... the polls are wrong!!! And they weren’t wrong. I believe 538 picked every state..... yet for some reason this year he’s way off. I’m not buying it.

It sad to see this yet again. And before that ridiculous Long Room unbiased polling was mysteriously taken down (which was nothing more than a redux of 2012's "unskewed polls") people here were buying into that blather too.

Trump is losing. Period. It is not over yet, but it's quite clear that Trump is not winning at this moment in time. He has 3 weeks and a debate to turn it around. Period. Simple as that.

This reminds me of a more recent event when Drudge, Breitbart and a few others were reporting in such a way that it appeared Paul Ryan might lose his primary. Using language like "in the race of his life", "hanging on by the smallest of margins", etc, etc. It was all BS. Total and complete BS and utter journalistic malpractice. Ryan won with 85% of the vote. It wasn't even close.

AOL’s track record on predicting the future isn’t so great

I don't even think they're very good at predicting the present, actually. Unless your name is Kardashian or Dr. Oz, the chances of appearing on their "news" is very low. And every piece is a teaser. To find out anything about their headline, you have to pop another click into their morass of yellow journalism.

It wasn’t rigged. Romney lost because Republicans stayed home. What about 2010 and 2014. Massive Republican landslides. Were those rigged too???

It will be interesting to see if the polls and 538 respond to the new Okeefe video, or if they manage to block effect that out too.
