A new USDW telephone and online survey finds Republican nominee Donald Trump expanding his lead to six point with forty-four percent (44%) support to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s thirty-eight (38%).
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson pulled in seven percent (7%), with five percent (5%) backing Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
Another six percent (6%) remain undecided.
The Survey, conducted August 13-17, was a sample of 1,405 likely voters, of which 475 were Democrats (34%), 462 were Republicans (33%), and 468 were Independent or Other (33%).
Any ideas freepers? Is it bait?
I’ll ask the reverse. Why wouldn’t a poll that shows a non-present Hillary (resting) show her support up 6 points over Trump?
Well at least the turnout model with respect to D’s and R’s looks more reasonable than the MSM polls.
Be vewwy quiet...
What if a poll happens to predict the exact correct results but is based on a flawed methodology? Is this a bogus poll or an accurate poll?
Can we trust this poll?
It’s strange the way it was published.
What difference does it make.... NBC FOX ABC CBS CNN and MSNBC all have bogus polls too..so hey a six-point lead poll damn right I’ll take it!
[Is this a bogus poll or an accurate poll?]
You’ll know on ELECTION DAY.
You can’t trust ANY polls. You can get polls to say whatever you want (either way) and I know a lot of people who lie to pollsters about their affiliation/age/race/ etc deliberately to skew results or to just troll them.
We won’t know for sure until Election Day but I know for certainty that the MSM polls reflect a vested interest so you be the judge.
Closer to reality than others, IMHO, but all of these small sample polls are worthless.
Turnout, turnout, turnout
We must wrangle every available Trump vote.
So lopsided they can’t cheat enough
Ask Jeb Bush if he believes in polls.
Ask Mitt Romney if he believes in polls.
Bogus poll? Media polls are certainly so.
Trust no polls, especially any taken in August. They don’t start becoming somewhat honest until the last week before the election, and only because the polling organizations don’t want to look like complete idiots the day after.
Trump will need at least that 6 points, maybe more. just to counter the democrat fraudulent voting.
The site claims it’s been steadily doing right track/wrong track polling since the beginning of this year. Did you google them?
Who cares? I do not participate in polls until election day.
Whenever my caller ID window shows “SURVEY” or some number I’m not familiar with, I let it go to the machine....at which point they disconnect.
How many people, not just FReepers, even participate in this waste of time?
Battle of the Bogus polls.
Might as well gin some up on our side too.
Yep. It seems a bit odd they could be confused with Ben Shapiro’s Dailywire.
