Fox News: "no one trailing on Labor Day has ever won the presidency"
Fox News TV | 9/5/16

Posted on 09/05/2016 12:09:55 PM PDT by pabianice

Per Fox just a minute ago. Also: "Clinton is beating Trump on TV ads 10 to 1."

“Carter was leading Reagan by 1 to 2 points on Labor Day 1980. The pages of my history books must have all missed the second term of Carter”

That was my first thought too.

Greg Jarrett gets on my nerves as much as Megyn Kelly.

Hannity brings in big bucks from advertisers is all I can think of.

The key there is whether he can do a more effective GOTV. It’s an area he’s not been visibly excelling at. He can certainly create enthusiasm amongst those who agree with him specifically, but the larger part of the electorate doesn’t change their mind as much as votes or doesn’t vote.

Trump had several major stumbles in not setting up a good ground game.

Let’s hope he has this going.

Isn’t the RCP average flawed? They are still averaging old polls where TRUMP hasn’t surged yet!!

So wait...

Depending on what polls you believe, Clinton had a massive 9-15 point lead 10 days ago. Depending on what polls you believe, Clinton and Trump are essentially tied, up or down a point or two right now

But Clinton has more than 10x the number of ads Trump has? And with all that spending she’s LOST 8-13 points over the last 10 days? And this is a negative on Trump, somehow?

Good for you, Girl!

“Trump has been accused of being a racist...” Shameless push polling. Have they no decency?

Y’think pollsters ever will ask, “Hillary has been accused of being a lesbian, will you... blah blah blah?”

Yes that’s right and the final results were a complete reversal of what Gallup reported and a Reagan landslide.

Hillary has a better "ground game"--more field offices in the various states.

In other words she has a gigantic infrastructure to cheat. Along with the full weight of the federal government to ensure the votes are counted 'correctly' AND will ensure the EC makes the 'right' choice. I guarantee Obama's minions are all over EC electors.

Hillary’s ads are killing her (the more people hear/think about her, the less they like her).

What’s shameless is the people who sell the ads pimping “ad buys” as a sign of “leading”.

Exactly right! RCP biased bastards are listing a week old Reuters poll with Hillary ahead by one. Trump now leads that same poll by 2!

Next time you get polled make sure to tell them:
You’re voting Trump
You’re some kind of minority
Your income is around $10,000-$15,000 and
You’re a lifelong Democrat

They want to use polls to set the narrative? Play right along. Here’s your narrative: Everyone hates Hillary.

Yep, I still vividly recall the ashen look on John Chancellor's face (around 7pm Eastern!) as he announced that Ronald Reagan was on his way to a "profound" victory.

That was followed up, of course, by a panel of analysts discussing what "went wrong."

It should’ve been a discussion of what went right.

“Guess Fox News has no idea what they are talking about.”

And THAT’S not exactly news either.

I don’t let FOX cross my threshold its like having a black cat walk across your path
btw i know its mentioned here but will mention again...REAGAN was behind carter on Election day..and oh yeah...
If you are going to lie about something blatant like this FOX? Try something that did not happen during the lifetimes of many of us who were alive an voting during 1980 election
Now I not only will not watch FOX i will start checking to see who major sponsors are an boycott thier products and write to the companies involved when this finally gets to murdochs purse he might...or maybe not I don’t give a damn i just want nothing to do with the pissant.

McCain was leading when he took the dive, around the 1st of Oct , I think.
