Now they have to spin it like she's holding her own.
“Just a couple days ago, Hillary had a “commanding lead”. Now they have to spin it like she’s holding her own.”
Not to sound too conspiratorial, but my thoughts on those double-digit Hillary leads were to give a boost to the GOPe to work on getting Trump off the ticket. I based it on the timing and the surrounding events...which were basically neutral for Trump. As I saw it, Trump had a lead and then blew it over the judge. That, along with Hillary pretty much taking care of Bernie, put him down about 5 points. Then the Orlando shooting. Trump didn’t do anything that should have cost him votes - he just repeated is Muslim ban...nothing new or damaging. Then two polls come out saying he’s down 10 and 14 points. Why?
The only reasoning that I had was that it was getting near time to put up or shut up regarding the convention and getting rid of Trump...and the GOPe needed a boost. And anyway, other than comparing those polls to other polls, how does one discredit any poll, unless there’s an election around the corner? So they can publish what they want, and pretty much get away with it.
...oh, and one more. The polls in the critical states barely moved in Hillary’s direction. Maybe two points and that was it. A ten, maybe 15, point swing nationally towards Hillary, as the claim was made, should have moved all of the states in her direction, roughly an equal amount - never happened.
Something funny was going on.
Hillary’s indictment soon to follow...
Ten point lead in media polls IS too close to call, LOL
