ny will go Trump in Nov.

you heard it here first

[bray]

Another poll FOX Snooze will never mention.

Pray America wakes

[pissant]

hardly a surge, but the direction is good

[Maelstorm]

Its a legit poll and it uses a valid scientific polling methodology developed by the University of Southern California in conjunction with the LATimes.

“...ny will go Trump in Nov....”

I agree and have stated this was well. All it will take is Queens, Staten Island, Nassau, Suffolk, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess and the more conservative counties ... upstate/Central New York/southern tier is totally for Trump.
There are Trump signs all over Otsego and Schoharie county.
No Hillary signs at all.

Hippie Valley/Ithaca may be very lackluster in turnout and the liberals may not show up to vote in large numbers since they wanted Bernie.

[SamAdams76]

I think Donald Trump will catch Crooked Hillary flat-flooted in New York!

[Maelstorm]

The same methodology was very predictive in 2012.

Is this poll legit? I’m trying not to fall for wishful thinking

The poll is legit, no telling if it is accurate. However, they are tracking the same 3,000 people, so it should be sound on trends. This is a good trend.

Never the less......I am worried.

I am very worried

[Dr. Sivana]

I know some never-Trumpers who are coming around! They are voting for Pence for Vice President. Whatever works.

I was not a "never Trumper", but I found it hard to get worked up for him until Pen e and his SCOTUS list. Kellyanne Conway is an excellent addition as well.

[randita]

Trump’s visit to LA and his series of serious policy speeches have helped him appear more serious.

Meanwhile, Shrillary is only in the news due to Clinton Foundation drip, drip, outlandish shriekish attacks on Trump, and fundraisers hosted by the rich and famous.

[Mjreagan]

This poll is garbage, the oracle Nate Silver said so.

[apillar]

Trump also cut Hillary’s lead by 1/2 in the NBC poll released this morning (from 8 to 4 points in one week). This matters because the NBC poll is only registered voters (which tend to lean more democrat and is weighted heavily democrat as well) so if he is within the margin of error, then he most likely has a 2 or 3 point lead if the poll was weighed correctly.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Let’s start by locking Hillary (and Holder, Abedin, Mills, Kosinken) up...

[HombreSecreto]

Fall is approaching! What do FReepers think about a Cheetos Beck costume?

[RayChuang88]

And it could get MUCH worse for Hillary soon. Remember, Gov. Mike Pence is a supporter of major income tax reform (he supports FairTax) and if Trump announces they would seriously look a major income tax reform at least to the scale of the flat tax proposal Steve Forbes proposed 20 years ago, it could even peel away Wall Street firms because they suddenly realize under a simple flat tax, the cost of operating the company drops dramatically (way smaller tax forms to fill out!).

I’m really getting old.......very old

[Eric Pode of Croydon]

It’s a legit poll, but I don’t pay any attention to anything but state by state polls.

[Mjreagan]

I said on an earlier thread, take NY and PA. That way I get to see an early acceptance speech, liberal propagandists kill themselves live, and still get a good night’s sleep.

[BobinIL]

I know some never-Trumpers who are coming around! They are voting for Pence for Vice President. Whatever works.

That’s fine with me because I voted for Palin in 2008
