So here is what I don’t get.....
The very same polls that reported Trump in the lead through the primaries (all the major polls) we all supported through and through, trumpeted, used to down cast our opposition in the primaries. Now the very same polls (damn near all of them) we snidely push aside, discredit and go out of our way to toss aside all show the exact same picture (Trump is down in all major polls just not a few)....

I think we all need to wake up to this reality and push our support. On the other side Trump is in a deep hole and fix the messaging.

We need to face it, our cantidate along with Hillary has strong negatives. Face it our cantidate is down.

You’re correct and the “kill the messenger” meme is old, tired and flawed logic.
The polls are more often than not very close to the the reality on the street. They aren’t perfect or exact but to ignore them based on desired outcome is the very definition of whistling past the graveyard.
I’ll always fight as if we’re 10 points down, regardless of polls.

Rasmussen (one of the few pollsters I trust) has Trump +2. He also has Trump +20 among Independents. Funny thing...before the Comey revelations and subsequent testimony, polls seemed to be coming out daily with much fanfare from the media. Now all I hear are crickets.
