New National Poll Tells Different Story Than Media Narrative(Moreover, Trump Leads in 3 Nat. Polls)
Western Journalism ^ | August 26, 2016, 8:07 am | Jack Davis

"... 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.

You guys are cheering me up - I was all alone on the Rush thread today, lol!

Yes, he consistently downplays anything positive about Trump. And he used to claim he was a friend. A typical fair-weather friend. And to think how he talked up the awful McCain despite disliking him!!!

What kind of sexual power does Cruz have over man, woman, child and beast? To me, he’s just another whiny-voiced pol with ethics problems.

Face it folks Rush isn’t the bright young star on the talk show horizon. The guy is old and large. There is no fight in the old dog. He is mailing it in. You can hear it in his tone. He is like the quarterback on the sidelines who has been benched. He was more excited about the Apple fix today. We have an old man. We loved you Rush,but its over.

He should be. Fairness Doctrine, anyone? We should all be afraid. What will happen to FR when she’s in power?

It’s far past time to defund these guys.

Rush makes no TV appearances, writes no books, long since abandoned his TV show, and sees the web as just a huge pay wall.

Why are we putting millions in their pockets just for this?

He’s ticked that we didn’t vote for Cruz, so he’s going to pout.

He certainly is mailing it in. He needs to start a technology show since that appears to be his uppermost interest now. That’s ok; people’s interests change. I’m now in culinary school after years and years in theater. Things happen.

But don’t denigrate the Republican Party’s nominee. To do that is EVIL.

Rush is basically an establishment stooge. Would rather see Crooked Hillary win over Trump. Those are all his buddies. Sad to say.

Then he is not a professional. A pro doesn’t pout. He is taking money he doesn’t deserve. Hey Rush go play for the Clintons like the Bushes have.

Remember how the left painted Palin with the stupid brush?

Not Trump, but Trumps people should be doing the same to Hill. She doesn’t do press conferences because she “knows” she can’t answer the questions. Pound her 24/7 on it and a half dozen other issues.

"He was more excited about the Apple fix today."

It bugs me when he says "Blah blah blah is on CNN right now."

If he's watching CNN his full attention is not on HIS show.

And it shows.

Rush may not be aware of these polls? They certainly are not seen much in the prevalent, anti-Trump, main stream media.

If Rush can’t get it up to fight the Clintons then the poor guy is a zombie. Someone wake Rush up it’s the Clintons big guy.

Reuters/IPSOs showed Trump down 12 to Hillary yesterday; today he is only down by FIVE points in the same poll. Reuters claims Trump has gained seven points on Hillary in three days. This ain’t over.

Reuters/Ipsos on their weekly poll started out as a plus +18% Dem over R in early July or late June. Then a couple of weeks ago, they changed up their methodology to keep Shill in the lead after Trump attrited her BS lead. They keep their polling a moving target to benefit the lame duck Hillary.

Evangelicals didn’t come out for Mormon Romney.

I think they learned that the better man is more important than the perfect man.

Trumps Children show that even with 2 ex wives Trump managed to raise great adults

Trump is the only one who cares about Christian rights, I hope there is a record turnout by the Evangelic’s Pence is also a reason to turn out for them.

No. If she gets in there will be a complete sea change Freedoms, the military, complete invasion.

She is way above the law, the media. She is way above the constitution

If she gets in the first thing to go will be rush, and all “ his little friends before him”

Trump needs to keep pounding Clinton. The best defense is a good offense particularly when she provides Trump with so much ammunition. And just throw a little bit of charm for good measure.
