Oh, I agree. I know that in 2012 we were told to ignore the polls. Ignore the polls - they’re biased! They weren’t. They were right. It’s only June. That’s the good thing in all this. I see some positive signs with Paul taking over. They are responding quicker. The reporters said they are getting more emails and statements on things from the campaign and Trump. They are starting to raise money. The speech Trump gave the other day was excellent. Unfortunately, yes, he is still down in the new polls that have come out, but I do see some positive signs. It’s not a level playing field because he is fighting a three pronged attack of the Clinton machine, the media, and even his own party (which is what this article was kind of about). I still believe big keys for Trump will be the convention, good ads, and good debates.
Polls can be biased ! Sometimes ....often , not always .
In that particular race MSM and ...polls are more biased than ever since TRUMP is NOT ROMNEY and Mc CAIN 2 weak lame ducks .
People NOW are really angry , the world changed after 8 years of Obama-Clinton mess and TRUMP is a fighter talking directly to the people , crossing the lines , threatening the establishment and the MSM ....
History is NOT written ....
Yes, I agree with you except for the debates. I see no growth with Trump. He doesn’t seem to be able to articulate policy any more today than he did one year ago. So, I expect the debates to basically be nothing more than 100 versions of she is a world class liar, cheat and corrupt criminal who should be in jail. I agree with that and it should be said, but it would be nice if he could articulate policy better.
“I know that in 2012 we were told to ignore the polls. Ignore the polls - they’re biased! They weren’t. They were right. “
I am back and forth on “the polls”. I used to not believe polls showing my guy losing. Then Bill Clinton won as predicted. The straw I was grasping onto, Real Clear Politics website, had Bush winning or closing or tied in enough states to WIN. He didn’t. The actual results were 180 degrees out of phase. Clinton won all the close ones.
Which polls were to be believed?
You have to decide for yourselves, (with the help of FR) WHICH polls to believe. In today’s political climate, with Donald Trump as the presumptive nominee, I can believe that anti-Trump polls are deceptive at best and down right corrupt at least.
Our country is at stake. The uni-party is desperate to hang onto power. The media is desperate to hang onto power. The elites are desperate to hang onto power. And they all see it slipping away. It’s a “no holds barred” election. If they win, it will be the LAST election of our democracy.
Because of “political correctness” many people are reluctant to publicly admit to supporting Trump. I believe that in the privacy of the voting booth they will overwhelmingly vote Trump.
So here I am again, believing this poll while dismissing that poll based on whether I like the results.
I have convinced myself (again) that THIS election is different. Maybe so, maybe not. Like all past elections, we’ll have to wait for the actual (polls) to know for sure.
