You said...
Technically all polls are worthless this far out anyways
Polls are just for vanity right now
Yup. The only poll that matters is the one the morning after the election. Then we’ll know
But Karl said Trump’s ceiling was 27%, and conventional wisdom is that Hillary would beat him like a drum.
Not with 41 to 12 and a moe of 2. 2 gives a range of 43-39 for Trump and 14-10 for carson. By this poll worst case would be a lead of 25.
This poll only, of course.
No Trump fan here but I'm not surprised that the media's pummeling of Trump hasn't hurt him. The media is in a different world as compared to the rest of the electorate. The media supports strict gun control, the public does not. The media supports ObamaCare, the public does not. The media believes we are in an economic boom, the public knows we're not. The media supports open borders and amnesty and letting more Muslims in, the public does not. As a result of all the above, news networks are losing audiences and people find them increasingly untrustworthy. Every poll, by big margins, shows the public knows that when it comes to reporting on political issues, the press sides with the Democrats and their causes.
Zero's JAR has basically been below 50% for just about his whole term! save for a few instances. And that's with glowing, protective, press coverage. Imagine what his approval rating would be if the press treated him like a Republican
I meant, if you have a MOE of 2, and Trump is leading Cankles 45-40, it could be 47-40, or as narrow as 43-40 ( or any 2-point variation thereof).
If you’ve been listening to Rush this week he has exp,aimed the media thing. The media didn’t make Trump, so they can’t even effect him. Then, factor in how few people trust the media and how many just hate them, and you’ll get it.
And keep in mind, Trump hasn’t even started marketing himself for the General Election.
It will be a blowout if it’s a 2-person race, and that’s what the GOPe FEAR.
“Trump’s just paving the way...for Cruz. You wait!! /s”
Why the “/s”, Trump in 2016, Cruz in 2020 or 2024? Trump’s job will be to do the dirty work, Cruz will get us back to the type of republic that our founders designed.
Hillary.
Got it, LS.
My mistake. Sorry.
It’s more than “feeling good to be winning”.
The reason news outlets push so many polls is to drive narratives home. A 1% drop in a candidate they dislike is “sign of trouble?” or “has this candidate peaked too soon”? While a 1% gain in a candidate they like “shows the momentum this candidate is gaining” or “How this candidate rallies support”.
The news isn’t in the business of “just the facts, ma’am” news. They are all about framing the story to influence people. Polls are just another way the try to do it.
yeah, let’s be positive for a change.
the polls show him winning. it’s VERY believable.
I would like cruz but doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen and I would bey quite happy with Trump.
Biden said it’s a landslide for hillary if trump gets the nod.
I’m 200 pounds. I’m 200 pounds. I’m 200 pounds. I’m 200 pounds.
Nope, the scale still says (well, you dont want to know).
Just because you keep saying something over and over doesn’t make it true.
“Remarkable Hillary is at 40%.”..........
Do Liberals not read? Apparently since they seem to have missed or never heard of Benghazi and a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong line of other crimes Hitlary has chalked up over the past several years. If we had a real Congress and Attorney General she would have already been in prison.
If John Dillinger or Al Capone were running on the demodummie ticket, the libs would vote for them. Perhaps they would not have read about their activities either.
This one may indicate significant cross over of blue collar white voters. I write off the gibmedats/si se puedes because they almost always vote dim anyway.
Is that just if she gets the “normal” democrat states?
Ping
Great news to wake up to this morning!!!!!
Thanks for the ping!
I cannot believe that there is anyone, any person, in the USA, unless they are high on drugs or totally insane, that does not heed the call that Donald Trump has laid down bringing restriction on a temporary basis for Muslim non-residents to enter the USA, without before being properly vetted!!! When I look, hear & see, the “three ring circus” surrounding the radical Muslim terroist murder incident out in San Bernadion, CA........I fear that this scenerio is being replicated 30, 40, 70, 100 times...and, maybe even more, across the USA, thanks to Barrack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat Party, the Republican Establishment RINO Party, etc. IMHO, these people have failed miserably in their number one responsiblity to protect the citizens of the USA from harm & slaughter!!! We are in serious and severe harm’s way!!!
As for Muslims.......the majority of these folks live in the Muslim Bubble....they do not assimilate well...and tend to form their own little “closed” groups.....in whatever country they live in. The culture never changes...it’s been that way for centuries. I have spent significant time in Israel, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, back in the early 1990s....and, I worked closely with many Arab Muslims who always closely guarded, and never seemed to truly and loyally accept you!!! It’s the culture......they believe they should rule the world, according to their religion,....and if you do not join and follow them, you, your children & family are expendable. And...although I would state that POTUS, Obama is not one of them...he is darn close!!! When Bok Haram captured all those young African-American young girls, murdered a bunch of them, and put the rest into slavery & forced marriage...and POTUS, Obama just simply brushed it off....I knew exactly where his heart is!!! He could care less about those poor, innocent young girls!!!
Americans you have a choice to make, you either move in massive numbers to protect you families and your country...or you hold with your status quo....waiting for More “San Bernadino, CA Radical Muslim Terroists” to come foward to slaughter your family, your way of life and, your country. Waiting for Obama, Clinton & The Republican Establishment RINOS to aid and protect you, is just one large pipe dream!!! Support & vote for Donald J. Trump for POTUS!!!
Note: DT appears at a large rally in Portsmouth, NH, this evening , 12/10/2015, Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel, 7:45 PM...Go there...or, watch on live stream. CSpan or some of the Cable News Channels!!! GO DONALD TRUMP!!!
Is that you JOHN KASICH :)
Is the lamestream media and GOP establishment and punditry still claiming Jeb Bush is the presumed frontrunner?
LOL....good analogy :)
