Trump gains on Clinton, poll shows 'rigged' message resonates
Reuters ^

Posted on 10/21/2016 5:53:52 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gained on his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton among American voters this week, cutting her lead nearly in half, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling released on Friday.

The polling data showed Trump's argument that the Nov. 8 election is "rigged" against him has resonated with members of his party.

"Remember folks, it's a rigged system," Trump told a Pennsylvania rally on Friday. "That's why you've got to get out and vote, you've got to watch. Because this system is totally rigged."

Clinton led Trump 44 percent to 40 percent, according to the Oct. 14-20 Reuters/Ipsos poll, a 4-point lead. That compared with 44 percent for Clinton and 37 percent for Trump in the Oct. 7-13 poll released last week.

Trump gained on...Hillary...this week, cutting her lead nearly in half.

Which is getting closer to what it actually was all along.

data showed Trump's argument that the Nov. 8 election is "rigged" against him has resonated with members of his party.

But then again, the polls are also rigged, so at this point, what difference does it make?

I think it would be wise to take the whole partisan breakdown in these polls and toss them out the window. There are going to be a LOT of crossover votes this year, with many dimwitted Republican women and limp-wristed Republican men voting for Clinton, and many middle-class whites and minority men among Democrats voting for Trump. And the non-affiliated voters in this election are likely to be a bigger portion of the electorate than we’ve seen in decades.

If the rigged message resonates at all, that means Clinton is in a lot of trouble.

The big poll rigging does not show up in +7 or +5 over sampling. They just hang up once Trump is mentioned, so he is counted less.

Free Republic should commission it’s own poll with pro Trump +12 sample and pre hang up on 50% Dems.

Why do they even continue to use the phrases “Trump continues to gain on Clinton,” or “Trump closing the gap?” He’s been well ahead the whole time. Since the conventions, he has totally dominated her. Yet they continue to act as though this is a close race.

Crowds vs illegal votes.

Crowds win.

Broken glass election.

The establishment is also desperate, but their voters are not as desperate.

Some will understand what i am saying, some won’t.

Those optimistic who don’t have cable will understand.

The rigged message resonates with people because the system *is* rigged. Rigged for the elites. Rigged for the banksters. Rigged for the influence peddles, the war profiteers, and the corporatist. Rigged for the insider traders in Congress. Rigged for the payoffs to foreign countries with pallets of cash. Rigged for a press that is no longer a protector of the public, but a press the that is part of the system.

Wikileaks emails have laid the rigged system bare for all to see.

It "resonates" because we all believed it long before DJT threw his hat in the ring!

They all are saying the same thing. The moderate republicans are staying home. They just won’t come out and say it.
