ELECTORAL MAP: Hillary Clinton is on track for a blowout win in November
Yahoo Finance ^ | 8-4-2016 | Business Insider

An electoral college map released Thursday from the University of Virginia Center for Politics projected Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton winning the November election by a landslide.

UVA altered its map to reflect recent changes in the likely political leanings of certain states, but Clinton still easily came out on top.

Larry Sabato, director of the UVA Center for Politics, explained what made the map different from most polls that reflect the more fickle tendencies of the electorate. The UVA electoral map focused on "the electoral fundamentals and fixed elements of politics that predetermine most votes, especially partisanship, demographics, and strong forces shaping the political landscape."

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump saw a brief bump in the polls after the party's convention in July, but that lead later slipped as Clinton regained ground after the Democrats' convention the following week

MY TAKE:

These Media pollsters are all "Changing their Methodology to better reflect the electorate", meaning to show Hillary with a huge lead.

IMO, they MUST establish the "Hillary Landslide!" narrative before the first debate, because Trump is going to absolutely crush her, calling her out for all of her crimes and corruption. They already KNOW THIS, and have called out the memes to all of the Mainstream Media's Flying Monkeys.

True enough.
They are "managing" us before the fact.

Typical.

This is good news for “dem po folks” with no I.D.s and no money. They can stay home and not worry about voting. The Dems’ got this.

Yeah, because Sabato was so accurate during the primaries.

Pray America wakes

My take is the dems learned from the last election.. Can’t have all the polls showing a pub win, then the voting machines throwing the election the other way. Best to set the groundwork by pretending the dem is going to win, anyway. That way, it just looks like sour grapes on the loser’s part.
If this voter fraud isn’t addressed, they will win every election from now on.

Cuing the fainting and pearl grabbing Freepers to the latest left wing poll!

Donglalinger has installed a Free Republic fainting couch for fainting Freepers, whenever the media tells us Trump is out of line or losing in another left wing poll, and Freeper panic and pearl clutching ensues.

Thanks Donglalinger, and I will donate their formerly clutched pearls to the latest Freepathon!

We have better things to do than to pay attention to media trolls.

I hope the idiot dems believe these inflated polls and don’t bother to get off their butts to go vote since she’ll ‘have it in the bag’.

Trumpeters know this election is do or die for our country and will vote no matter what...

What did Sabato say about the primaries?

This is so serious I can’t believe it. Hillary will make us long for Obama - whose best quality is apparent lazyness.

Don’t forget the advice to be more like Romney if he expects to win.

this is all part of ‘managing expectations’

you cannot rig an election if everyone belies your opponent has an overwhelming lead on you.

expectations must see the race as ‘close’ so you can rig it, allowing your guy to win by a slim margin

no one screams about a close race when it was expected.
everyone will go nutz if they believe Trump was up by 20% but lost by 3%
