Poll: Independents break for Clinton as national lead widens

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has opened up a 5-point lead over Republican Donald Trump nationally as independent voters have moved strongly into her corner, a new poll finds.

[sport]

On that we both agree.

[Robert DeLong]

Okay, thought so.

How do you expect independents and undecideds to break with her constant ad bombardment. She has bought the election. If Trump had countered her ad campaign with half the funds he would still be competative but the RNC did not support him with one cent. It's a rigged system, just like Bernie Sanders was saying. It's going to be painful when it blows up but it surely will.

No, but when the other candidate doesn’t have any crowds and doesn’t even campaign, they are going to lose!

[fortheDeclaration]

Well, you sure like putting up pro-Hillary articles.

[fortheDeclaration]

Like it was with Brexit?

[fortheDeclaration]

Most undecideds don’t decide until very close to the election, that is why you put your ad’s up late.

Seriously? Seriously? A couple of post about polls with no supporting internals to explain how they arrived at their conclusion and I’m a Hillary supporter? GTFO of here..

[Robert DeLong]

The same way they broke for Ronald Reagan in 1979. Reagan never won a poll right up to the election. I do not trust polls to be accurate.

I personally do not believe that ads, and especially bombardments, work all that well either.

If Trump is not elected this country is toast, but then I believe that to be the case should he win. Not because I think Trump will destroy it. Even if we get Trump elected, only some of the problems that plague this country will have been dealt with. Those fixed issues will most likely revert back once the globalist get their people back into the positions of power in this country.

It is absolutely a rigged system, and even Trump has been saying it is. It is up to the people to overcome their abilities to rig the system. It can only be accomplished if the election is close.

You seem to enjoy putting up polls that support Hillary.

Two were cited by another poster.

Why are putting up negative polls that can't be verified with their internals?

Does it give you some perverse pleasure?

May be it was phony announcement to campaign for Trump in Wisconsin. Ryan probably knew about the news before it broke out to the public.

[Paradox]

The Candidate with the Biggest crowds has Always won.

I wish that were the case. IIRC, Romney had somewhat larger crowds than Obama, a quick search may confirm that.

That said, it wasn't 100:1 like it is Trump:Hillary.. So I am hopeful and still feel good about it.

Where the /s?

It’s needed on the new FR.
