Clinton surges to big lead in McClatchy-Marist poll
McClatchy DC ^ | 08/04/2016 | DAVID LIGHTMAN AND LESLEY CLARK

Posted on 08/04/2016 5:12:23 PM PDT by MaxistheBest

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has surged to a 15-point lead over reeling, gaffe-plagued Republican Donald Trump, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

Clinton made strong gains with two constituencies crucial to a Republican victory – whites and men – while scoring important gains among fellow Democrats, the poll found.

Clinton not only went up, but Trump also went down. Clinton now has a 48-33 percent lead, a huge turnaround from her narrow 42-39 advantage last month.

The findings are particularly significant because the poll was taken after both political conventions ended and as Trump engaged in a war of words with the parents of Army Capt. Humayun Khan.

“This is coming off the Democratic convention, where a bounce is expected,” said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the nationwide survey.

HILLARY'S BUSES YESTERDAY IN OHIO!



Yes, attendance matters! Enthusiasm matters!

Hillary and the demonic-rats know this all too well, which is the reason they spend megabucks bussing "rent a mobs" to her public appearances!

Not to be outdone, BigEd posts the same McClatchy Poll.
Go tell him off, too!




CaptainK, among others,, posted the breakdown of those polled, proving the fraudulent sampling!


Instead of handwringing and blaming members for posting crappy polls which are clogging the airwaves to influence stupid voters, and, which *are* exposed here by other members for their fraudulent internals, how about taking Donald Trump's attitude who gets up every day full of vigor and fight?

LOOK at Grampa Dave's Post #115!!!!




OH and BTW,




VOTE TRUMP!
(At least once & tell your friends)!

Anyone who BELIEVES this poll needs a brain lobotomy.

About this time in 1980 the MSM had Carter leading Ronald Reagan by 30 points.

The media is pulling out all stops in an attempt to INFLUENCE the voting public.

Trump will prevail. Reality always prevails over fantasy.

Watch the clips of “Watter’s World” on O’Reilly show. 90% of American voters cannot recite 2 policy stands of either candidate. I think every voter should be required to take a simple knowledge test before voting. Heck, that will never happen! We can’t even get voter ID requirement passed.

Can’t believe that about bussing people in!!

I’m one of the whiners who ask why are bad polls being put up as threads instead of saying positive and encouraging things.

Thanks for the heads up!!!

No more whining!!

Well, yeah, i’ll whine at home about other thing, but not over misleading polls!

Those polls are created to influence and to bring down his supporters ... to dampen our spirits.

Those polls create the opposite reaction in me.

I ignore all news from the source, figuring the source is unreliable.

Lie about one thing, lie about everything.

You’re right.

And you’re right about crossing the news source off the list of articles to read from. They’re bad news.

Been gone all day and came home to this crap, what a bunch of Whiners, makes you wonder if they are not secretly hoping for him to lose so they can be the first to say see told you so. Either get on the Trump Train or get out of the way. In the SF Bay Area today Wife held her trusty GO Trump sign on the side window again and YES even in California getting some Thumbs up. Just what are they doing to help? Have not stopped pushing since He came down the Elevator, they are downers do not need them here.

Mitt Romney is behind it, along with the cabal of people who met with him earlier in the summer.

Many of Mitt’s old supporters & advisers are stabbing Trump and his supporters in the back.

The fringe lunatic media, love it. Their email is probably lit up 24/7 with incoming trash from Romney & associates.

Recall that Trump spelled out how hard they’d fight to retain their power, money, and investments.

I’m sure Romney falls into that category, and he’s butthurt b/c Trump pointed out how badly he lost.

My hubby said it may have the opposite effect. It may make supporters more determined to come out to vote for Trump. If he were way ahead they may get comfortable and think its in the bag so if they miss voting no big deal.

“Either Trump wins, or the republican party is destroyed forever. That's a win either way.”

It's not that the republican party is destroyed forever ... it's that the country will be destroyed forever.

Being mainly a single issue voter (the 2nd Amendment) our lives are in jeopardy. This witch will have no problem having 10’s or 100’s of thousand of gun owners killed by her “Nationalized” police force in order to destroy the 2nd.

It will be the same old story as history repeats just like in Lenin's Russia, Mao's China, and Hitler's Germany.

“Trump needs to stop getting off on these tangents and go back to attacking Hillary and Obama...”

Bullshite!!! Trump has ALWAYS been attacking Cankles & Obama. I’ve been watching his rallies & that’s what he does. Day in & day out. Please don’t post the GOPe/MSM defeatist talking points in the future.

Vote Trump 2016

It can be when they need the polls to match the rigged outcome.

Boy, you have to read a long way to find out. It’s just as I suspected. Registered voters. As far as I’m concerned, those polls are worthless.
