I don’t see FL as even really seriously “in play.” The GOP increases in registration alone have made up the 74,000 that Minion lost by, and Trump will bring out so many more. The only state I’m really concerned about is VA.

There have only been two polls from fairly unknown outfits that had Trump ahead in VA. All the others have had “leading” pollsters show him ahead. Course, all that can change soon.

I do think he has NV and IA pretty secure, AZ tucked away.

That will not happen. He might win Ohio and lose Pennsylvania but the demogragraphics are such that winning Penn and losing Ohio is virtually impossible.

Yes, it’s obviously a VERY flawed poll.
Using only landlines omits many Hillary voters (ethnic, young). And that’s compounded by not weighting the results to the demographica of the state.
If they told us the demos of their respondents one could adjust for it and make some use of the poll.

I thought the ‘one question’ nature of the poll was very interesting though. Such a method could show the intensity of support for a candidate.

I have friends in PA. The ones that smoke weed, drink moonshine and love America are voting for Trump. Good people.

We have to remember, polls are bullshit.

Don’t get too low, don’t get too high.

Human life is tough and surprisingly tenacious. Plenty of people with addictions, chronic conditions and even acute issues manage to make it into their 80s and 90s. Modern medicine is very good for a lot of cancers, heart conditions, strokes.

Remember, only the good die young. She’s not going to Heaven and Satan doesn’t need the competition.

Wasn’t there a story a few days ago about Clinton stopping ads in PA?

Now we know why.

Keep going with the momentum Trump. Our side has it and don’t you dare take your foot off the gas pedal.

Here’s CBS trying to keep it a horse-race. The media has defended Hillary all they can, so now they’re down to THE BIG LIE: that’s she’s actually leading in key states. This story was put out to keep the lib troops from getting too comfortable, gotta keep them riled up and fighting.

I knew the media was full of crap when they reported that Hitlery was leading by 9 point in Utah. Utah?!?! The state, mind you, that shellacked Zer0 by 28 points (McLame) in 2008 and 48 points (Romney) in 2012. But we’re suddenly Hillary-country here? What-the-frick-ever.....

Meanwhile, the lead story at the top of the See BS “Evening News” was how Hillary is leading Trump by 6 points in Ohio, 46 to 40, and tied with Trump in Iowa, 40 to 40.

No mention of their OWN POLL in Pennsylvania showing Trump ahead by 5 points.

Then they showed an Electoral College map with almost all of the battleground states having a lead for Hillary.

WTF?

Heavy advertising for Hillary on Philly TV stations this evening - I told my wife an hour or so ago Hill must be in trouble in Pennsylvania - they’re so obvious.....

I keep hearing about election fraud and I don’t doubt that it goes on but what can we do to be proactive about stopping it? Still over two months to the election.

“Wasn’t there a story a few days ago about Clinton stopping ads in PA?:”

IMHO she is spending money like a drunken sailor. Probably had to put the brakes on the spending for awhile.

By the way, whatever happened to Evan McMuffin? That was the “dream candidate” that Karl Rove promised would shake up the race.
