New National Poll Tells Different Story Than Media Narrative(Moreover, Trump Leads in 3 Nat. Polls)

"... this guy is a completely different ..."

A new poll shows Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump leading Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

The USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Daybreak tracking poll, which tracks Americans’ support for the presidential candidates on a daily basis, showed Trump leading Clinton 44.3 percent to 43.6 percent as of Friday.

The poll, which unlike other polls tracks the same population over time, represents a significant comeback for Trump, who as of Aug. 14 was trailing Clinton 46.3 percent to 41.6 percent.

Although the Real Clear Politics average of polls shows Trump trailing Clinton by about 6 points in polls taken between Aug. 1 and Aug 24, Trump campaign manage Kellyanne Conway recently told the BBC that Trump’s numbers are due to “cherry-picked polling numbers that are put out there by media outlets that are also bent on his destruction.”

Evidence of Trump’s improvement in the polls was also found in the latest Economist/YouGov poll. ...

Further, the poll showed that Trump is now supported by 84 percent of Republican voters, up from 75 percent.

Trump’s Republican support will climb up to normal levels.

He’ll take an unprecedented portion of the black vote.

He’ll win Indies by double digits.

Republican turnout will be bigger than expected.

What do all of these equal? A HRC landslide? I don’t think so.

Hillary is running scared of a news conference for almost 300 days, while her Democrat controlled big media protects her. The Big Media carries her water like good water boys and water girls!

I wonder why Rush today only concentrated on his bad polls. For 3 long hours.

It amazes me too.

Trump wins Republicans and Independents, draws larger shares than usual among blacks and hispanics. Therefore, it’s a landslide for Hilary.

1 plus one plus one equals six. Only one way that happens, if the whole thing is a fraud.

The Donald will do what he has to do to win. He finds the way. He knocked off sixteen people and everyone of them were healthier then Hillary.

Ahead, tied, and still likely skewed for Hillary.

I’m staying away from the tv and news, I’m just sticking to reading right now. I find myself yelling at the idiots too much and it spikes my BP.

He was certainly horrid today. He should retire. He’s got money to burn while we are all destroyed.

It’s amazing that Trump is even or a bit ahead in any of the national polls. Any other GOP candidate subjected to the relentless onslaught from the MSM would have folded by now.

Maybe Wikileaks will show some talk show host taking Soros money. Also if Trump loses these talk show guys will have eight more years of kvetching.

The reason Trump has been ahead in 2 FL polls and tied in another is because he has strengthened his Republican support and he is killing Clinton with Independents. I did some analysis based on party id compared to actual exit results going back to 2004 and Trump if he matches or exceeds Romney’s party vote share among GOP, Ind, and Dems he will defeat Clinton 49-46. The wild card is the third party vote. Though right now it appears to be hurting Clinton more than Trump. Team Trump needs to keeps its eye on Johnson and Weld so they don’t get to play the spoiler unopposed.

I am like you. I used to listen to Rush in my car at lunch but I don’t bother now. Remember he was seeing a Romney landslide in 2012. How did that work out? All I know is I can’t wait to vote, and I am in a blue state. I see this election as a turning point. Either we are in the end game for the country or we start to claw our way back. I think our side knows we are in an existential crisis. Their side just wants a woman president.
