I know the polls are all over the place. Trump seems to be up in 4 Tracking Polls. State polls vary wildly. My question is the RCP Polls. Do they have any ryhme or reason for which polls are included? They don't hide their bias. As soon as Trump takes a lead they slap up some moronic poll which is way out of line. Why don't they include Reuters which they had last month when it was showing a lead for HRC?
I was looking around last night and went to 538. It had Trump with only a 23% chance. Wasn't it in the low 50's around the debate? Then I looked at their analysis. They did not include any poll later than the end of Sept. Not one poll from Oct which was a week ago. The analysis was date yesterday. What is going on in the Hillary/Media Lovefest World?
There are some die hard hangers on that want to eke out Hillary’s last bit of money and value that temporary gain over their reputations. The ones that care about their reps are slowly converging to the truth.
They want low turnout and de-motivated Trump supporters.
Also effects who will give money and what other candidates will show up on stage with Trump.
All manipulation and b.s.
Hillary can’t get more than 1,000 people to show up to any of her events. Everyone hates her except bull dykes.
The Left, likely with the blessing of the GOP-e, is doing everything it can to demoralize and dispirit Trump supporters.
Never lose sight of that fact.
Stay focused on the larger objective.
-PsyOp to discourage Trump supporters
-Laying down cover for when they steal the election.
Trump over performed the RCP average during the primaries by an average of 2.6%. He overperformed in 26 states and underperformed in just 10. Sometimes the average was off by more than 11%. There are a lot of things to get nervous about. RCP polling averages probably shouldn’t be at the top of the list.
Why do you care?
I haven’t voted in a Presidential election since 1992 (Ross Perot).
I’m voting for Trump this year, and I don’t care if the night before election night, a poll shows him behind 50 pts.
Personally, watching these over the years, I think they include them when they fit the story line and omit them when they don’t. They drop major polls on occasion and that seems to be the only reason that seems logical.
The only poll that matters will be the one in Nov.
"A trio of political data experts empanelled by FiveThirtyEight for a podcast earlier this month estimated Trump’s chances of snagging the nomination at 2%, 0% and minus-10%, respectively. “If Trump is nominated, then everything we think we know about presidential nominations is wrong,” Larry Sabato, head of the center for politics at the University of Virginia, wrote last week."
Enough said.
To All News Agencies
Continue PLAN A. Minimize Trump in all polls. If your true polling shows Trump ahead, juggle whatever you need to change to show Clinton on top.
Yeah, Trump was right around 50 before the debate. Since then his poll numbers have dropped nationally by a couple of percent or more, so his odds of winning have been adjusted downward since more people now intend to vote for his opponent.
I voted to fire Michigan’s uber-Lib Governor Jim Blanchard back in 1990. Polls had him up double-digits the day before the election. He lost and the media were stunned.
Cheating.
That and the fact that a large percentage of Trump supporters will never talk to a stranger on the phone. I won’t. I got a call from a pollster yesterday. I hung up immediately. I’m sure they counted me as a Hillary supporter.
Most of the polling being reported by the MSM and touted at places like RCP are biased and dishonest propaganda tools. I’ll have a slightly better feeling about the numbers a week or two out from the election but until that time you have to realize that the polls are intended to shape public opinion, not reflect it. They’re designed to reduce turnout and demoralize Trump’s support. Period. They have no basis in truth.
The media is nervous with Trump leading in battleground states and Pence’s win in the debate, so they’re releasing these polls.
The only poll that matters happens four weeks from Tuesday.
I care what the polls say... even if most are garbage
