Trump pulls ahead of Clinton in Florida, new poll shows
NY POST ^ | October 26, 2016 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 10/26/2016 8:22:25 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

Donald Trump is ahead of Hillary Clinton in the critical swing state of Florida, according to a poll released Wednesday.

Trump is beating Clinton 45 percent to 43 percent, the Bloomberg Politics Florida poll finds, when independent third party candidates are factored in.

In a head to head match up between just the Republican and Democrat, Trump’s lead over Clinton slips to one point, 46 percent to 45 percent.

The polls finds Trump is viewed more favorably (46 percent) in Florida than Clinton (44 percent) — and Trump — who last week refused to say whether he would accept the election results, and denied allegations of sexual misconduct from an 11th accuser — even has a slightly lower net unfavorable rating (51 percent) than his Democratic opponent (53 percent).

The Bloomberg Politics Florida Poll was taken between Oct. 21-24 and surveyed 953 Florida residents who have already voted or say they will certainly vote. It’s margin of error is 3 percentage points.

I guess now that the election draws near the bullsh*t polls are trying to smooth things out so they don’t have as much egg on their face on November 9th?

If you remove oversampling it most likely 5-7 points.

If BLOOMBERG poll says Donald Trump up by 2? Then he is actually up by 5!

We all need to steel ourselves for some serious hardcore media tactics. Calling Florida for Algore in 2000 (before the panhandle had even finished voting) was little league stuff. They will pull out all the stops in a coordinated manner. GET OUT AND MAGA!

It’s not just about the polls.

The early vote by absentee ballot has R ahead by 20,000 votes.

The first day vote count has R’s ahead by 1.1 %.

The lying media has you believe she’s ahead . She is behind.

I beleive most of the polls (except the Dornslife and a few others that use different methods) are faked-up and manipulated in order to try to influence voter behavior.

If I’m right, I look forward to seeing whether a few of them start to flip to “honest” polling just before the election so they can say they were among the most accurate.

Let’s face it - nobody knows how the election will come out. But if you’re a pollster, your future business depends on being at least halfway accurate. The oldes polling organization, Gallup, had to stop doing political polls after it was so far off in 2012. Now they just do “what’s your favorite color” type BS polls.

LOL, its like, the media cant understand why that refusal and the allegations dont mean sh*t compared to everything that has been revealed about Hillary and the Democrats.. This is funny.

Notice how they get in . . .who last week refused to say whether he would accept the election results, and denied allegations of sexual misconduct from an 11th accuser . . .

How about adding to Clinton's numbers . . .who last week was caught directing a group inciting mob violence at Trump rallies . . .

Why do they do 'head to head' matchups as if there isn't a 3rd Party present? >

The Libertarian Party is on the ballot.

Maybe you should ask them. Or maybe because no one cares about the clueless liberal disguised as a Libertarian
