Wishful thinking, I guess...
I saw that show also and thought the same.
The polls and pundits require the lie to go on because that is how they get paid.
If they used realistic D/R ratios in the polls Trump would be the clear winner and the need for the pundits would be over as no one would want to pay them.
They cited a Real Clear Politics average that had Hillary up 3 or 5 points and did not mention any that had Trump ahead of Hillary. One of the programs last night, maybe Brit Hume’s, also cited a poll that had Obama’s approval rating at 58% which supposedly would make Hillary a shoo-in for election. Humbug.
RealClearPolitics has several polls that are amazingly biased. One has Hillary up 8 and is literally a +10 Dem advantage. One has Hillary up 6 (the Fox News poll) and they’ve had 2 polls since that have Trump ahead. One is the SurveyMonkey (read bullshit online poll) and they have her up by 2.4%.
So, take out the push polls and the biased polls and the outdated polls, and she’s actually behind. .3%.
It’s interesting how badly they are pushing to put the false narrative that she’s in the lead.
