If the Dem/Rep breakdown is the same as it has been, that means Trump is way ahead.

I hate to say or think this but as he goes higher in the polls I think about Breitbart,

The IDIOTS at FOX News are touting the Monmouth poll, never any of the ones where TRUMP is tied or up

I’m on a semi permanent Gallup Poll group.
Gallup isn’t doing a presidential poll this year because they were so far off in 2012.
But they are doing economic polls and healthcare polls and taxation polls for somebody!.........

Fox News wants Hillary Clinton to be elected so they can stay relevant..they know if Clinton wins they will get more viewers because all of a sudden POOF they will become more “Right wing” again..notice they have gone far left..its all part of the playbook, ratings..their ratings skyrocketed after Obama win(Fox News rooted for Obama too) so they are hoping the same thing happens with Clinton

The only 12 point lead Hillary ever had was in the Reuter’s poll itself, but not in reality. Reuters is simply being forced to move their fraudulent poll results closer to what most of the rest of the polls are currently showing. There’s no way in hell there was an actual 12 point shift in any direction in just a week.

That’s right and since these polls are skewed Democrat it shows Hildy is losing her base to Trump.

Now if he can refrain from saying something stupid and work on maintaining a presidential image, he’ll lock it up.

No, not breaking news and not news at all. Are conservatives that desperate for “good news?”

A twelve point swing with a margin of error, say 10 points, over five days means nothing.

These jackass polls mean nothing! They can conduct the same poll at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. ON THE SAME DAY with different results! Does that mean Hitlery is up or down and Trump is up or down or is it all crap?

When BOTH candidates are consistently OUTSIDE the margin of error/uncertainty over time (like three weeks) THEN it might be news.

If you have one bucket that holds two gallons and another bucket that holds five gallons, how many buckets do you have?
