To believe recent mainstream media polling releases, one would have to suspend reality enough to believe that John Podesta's email leaks, the ongoing Project Veritas video series, a world on fire, and new revelations about Obamacare are driving the public to embrace Hillary Clinton as never before. Things are apparently so good for the former first lady that ABC has her with a 12-point lead, a margin not seen in a presidential election since 1984. CNN is less confident but still has her sporting a comfortable 5-point lead. Fox News has wavered between "too close to call" and the current 3-point edge that is contingent on her achieving President Obama's D+7 support level from 2008, which borders on complete insanity.

I should add that reports of Hillary’s testing herself with focus group reveals another problem - lack of authenticity.
Who is Hillary? No one knows - not the candidate and not the voters.
If you know who you are, people accept you as you are. Hillary doesn’t and she comes across as stiff, contrived and fake.
She’s everything people hate about politicians. And don’t get me started about her zero accomplishments.
>>It makes sense doesn’t it? something is wrong in the polling that being shoved >>down America’s throat! We’ve got to keep everyone’s spirit up.
Oh, there’s no question about the scam of all the reported polling numbers. That is plainly obvious. It’s just very nice to see some scientific and objective research behind what is really happening while we are all being lied to by the MSM. I hope they keep it up until election day, so it keeps the Dims at home thinking they’ve already won. I hope it backfires on them bigly. They are the stupid ones driven by the media after all, so that’s another advantage we have.
No, that’s not quite right. People can’t stand her.
When she starts speaking, people give up and leave her speeches.
There’s something about her personality that rubs people the wrong way.
Trying, but not quite succeeding, to be the Potemkin candidate?
Well that might be why her own personal appearances are rare and most of her campaign is stumping carried out by other people. She wants to win on Astroturf.
Its the best she can do.
Unfortunately for her, its not enough.
At least on the best estimates by conservatives, it isn’t, but it won’t be for lack of skulduggery on the D side. We hope, of course, that the D side somehow manages to carry out significant duggery on its own skulls, so to speak.
History is not destiny.
2012 will not look anything like 2016.
Meow, meow, meow, meow
The D folks always have black magic, but Trump is getting the prayers.
2016 may go down in history as a veritable splendor of a blowout.
The problem in 2012 was not that Romney was “weak”, but that he was Mormon. Many here on FR declared they would not vote for him on that basis. I would imagine, therefore, that the sentiment was widespread among Evangelicals.
The Mormon factor doubtless contributed to tepid Romney support. It didn’t help that he had been quite a waffler.
Trump is more attractive than this, though far from perfect, on the faith and consistency plane.
We also don’t know how many DIMOCRAT’s are voting FOR Trump. All but one of the union guys where my husband are voting for Trump..
If you have cable, you can find it on channel 1208 or 208 on some cable networks. I have Centurylink Prism cable and watch it High Definition on channel 1208.
It is a whole lot better than Faux News channel. Very pro Trump with no negative news. Just the opposite of the lame stream media.
This article could have been a lot better.
They could have discussed state polls that did not oversample Ds.
They could have focused on how Independents are polling in previous years vs this year.
They could have shown how just one percentage point of oversampling would affect the electoral map.
They could have discussed the black vote (Obama vs Hillary).
...and more....
We do it better here.
Thank you
