Trump Implosion? New Polls Signal Deep Trouble
Newsmax ^ | Thursday, 04 Aug 2016

Posted on 08/05/2016 7:50:02 AM PDT by seastay

A raft of new national and battleground polls released Thursday found Donald Trump slipping well behind Hillary Clinton one week after the end of the Democratic convention, and as the Republican nominee reels from a public feud with the parents of a slain Muslim American soldier.

"There has clearly been a significant movement toward Clinton in the last week," said Ken Goldstein, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco and polling analyst for Bloomberg Politics. "Some of it is a Clinton post-convention bounce, but more of it seems to be a Trump deflation or implosion."

...

A NBC/Wall Street Journal national survey found Trump trailing Clinton by 9 points (up from five points last month).

Ayres cautioned that polls at this juncture early may yet be fluid.

"The general rule is that you wait a couple of weeks after both conventions finish. Before you start assuming that polls are particularly predictive," he said. "Around the middle of August we'll start to get a sense of where the race stands after the dust settles from the Democratic convention and the Trump convention."

Goldstein said polling averages are more instructive than any one poll, but that a steady Clinton lead of 7 or 8 points could harm Republicans down the ballot.

"Fifteen points is more than Ronald Reagan won in his landslide victories," he said. "If you're in a world where it's over 10, then this is a landslide of historic proportions."

How is it polls can change so quickly ? Trump had been behind only few percentage points , and even leading some polls now all of a sudden he is behind by 10 percent or more? People just don't change minds that quickly ! Other news points to remarks he made about Khan as one reason his support has dropped , but even a gold star father on CNN this week when asked if Trump should apologize, had no idea what comments he made against that needed apology ? Then Obama comes out this week and says, there can't be election fraud if trump is up in the polls also implying since Hillary is way up , it will be impossible to cheat. Then are trump's numbers being reported as double digits behind Hillary now and for phony made up reasons so people will believe the change in the polls all to hide the election fraud that's about to take place in a he next 100 days ?

Polls in 1980 had Carter +9 in mid-October of that year!

It is a wise man who rules by the polls but a fool that is ruled by them.

It’s Goebbel’s propaganda being used by the MSM. Pure BS and I’m not buying it. It comes out of the RAT sewer to demoralize us.

Polls ‘change’ because the powerati says so. I believe this round of desperate manipulation of content count, mode of surveys, weighting and so on is just a symptom of a body politic in the last spasms of death.

I will crawl on my belly through a river of dead terrorists , dissemblers and broken glass to go vote for Donald J. Trump on Tuesday, November 8, 2016.

They can take that to the bank.

The MSM and the Dems sense blood in the water. They are trying to take out Trump now. They know, as was the case with Bernie, that the more the public sees Hillary the candidate, the less they like her.

And there is always the wild card of the second installment of Wikileaks promised by Assange.

It’s a sophisticated PsyOps operation to demoralize Trump voters and keep them at home.

Sadly, it may work.

You haven’t seen panic and skewed polls yet if Ryan gets taken out Tuesday.
