Mike Huckabee: Don't Trust Polls Saying Trump Is Tanking

Mike Huckabee says Americans should take polls that show Donald Trump's presidential campaign is in deep trouble with a big grain of salt.

"Polls taken before Labor Day and the Presidential debates are notoriously subject to change, but that hasn't stopped the pundits from proclaiming that Trump's campaign is tanking," the former governor of Arkansas and two-time presidential candidate writes on his Facebook page.

Hey he wasn’t picked by Trump as the VP candidate.

I am completely ok with him, now.

“Now, Hucksterbee is a verifiable source?”

Anyone with a grain of common sense could say the same thing. As I have often stated, presidential campaigns historical did not start until after Labor Day. That was until Gore and Bill Clinton changed all that.

Reagan consistently trailed Carter in the polls until the last few days.

Agree with you completely. But Huckabee isn’t someone to be saying it.

They are skewing the polls to push people to vote how they want.

The people who want you to think Trump is tanking, are the same people who want Trump to buy more advertising.

These guys should properly state that the campaign is in trouble according to the polls, but there is plenty of time for things to reverse. It’s one thing to keep people motivated. It’s quite another to have people blow something off that in fact could be an relative snapshot of the electorates position today.

Liberal media bias has long been an open secret. But now it’s so bad that even a liberal mainstream newspaper notes that, in an effort to destroy Donald Trump, the media have jumped the shark.

Nothing seems to matter: Mrs. Bill is the people’s choice; we see it daily.

Yes, crowds are breaking down the barricades to get in to Hillary rallies. Trump can hardly draw a few hundred. Isn’t that right?

Don’t forget, this year we have the double Bradley Effect (or if you will, Shy Tory Syndrome). First, it’s socially taboo to say you’re going to vote for Trump. (2) It’s admirable to say you would vote for the woman. Watch what happens when the votes are cast.

I hadn't thought about it that way before. Interesting...

Vote Trump!
