Something very interesting has happened over the past two weeks in the presidential campaign: Donald Trump has seized the momentum from Hillary Clinton and is climbing back into contention in both national and key swing state polling.
New polls released over the past 24 hours confirm this momentum. In Ohio, Trump leads Clinton by five points in a new Bloomberg Politics poll and a similar five in a CNN poll. In Florida, Trump has a three-point lead on Clinton. In Nevada, Trump has a two-point edge, according to a Monmouth University survey. And in the latest weekly tracking poll from NBC and Survey Monkey, Clinton's national lead has shrunk to just four points. In the RealClearPolitics polling average of all national surveys, Clinton's lead has shrunk to two points over Trump....

I already looked, and I saw.
I repeat: I hope they register.
Just watch, all we will hear on Thursday is about they Trump Foundation Scandal and how well robust and healthy Hillary looks back on the campaign trail
I think we just need to refer to her as 'illary'.
Kellyanne Conway has really righted this ship. Things did not look good a month ago at all. The prepared speeches, policy speeches, and visiting places like Louisiana, Flint, etc. have done wonder for Trump. This is all as Hillary had to face questions about her emails, pay for play, and her health. The momentum is very good right now. Trump needs to stay the course, and he needs to make sure he does well in the debates. That is where she is going to look to turn this around. David Gergen said that’s where Hillary can turn this around, and I do think that’s Hillary’s best shot at this point.
Also, it wouldn’t hurt for him to get cable ads out. I usually watch cable as opposed to the networks, and I have been deluged with negative Trump ads. The other night I watched movie and there were anti-Trump ads every commercial break just about. Tonight I dealt with a bunch of ads again on ID. I’d love to see some anti-Hillary ads.
One recent one was 26 percent in S. Carolina. Obviously Trump is going to win SC regardless. 32 percent in NC. 20 percent in FL He is polling at 16 percent “non white” in Ohio.
But who knows how it will actually play out.
Hillary Clinton can't sit, she can't stand, she can't walk, she can't talk, she can't climb a simple flight of stairs, she can't drink water, she can't appear outside or in bright-light situations without wearing "specially blue tinted 'anti-sezure' sunglasses", she can't hold a press conference, she can't handle crowds, she can't hold political rallies... and SHE IS UTTERLY INCAPABLE OF EVER TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING!
For all intents and purposes Hillary Clinton is D E A D! <>p She is TOTALLY INCAPABLE OF EVEN APPEARING TO FUNCTIONING IN ANY KIND OF NORMAL FASHION AS A "HEALTHY", LIVING, HUMAN BEING IN ANY SORT OF MANNER without being constantly, continually, habitually being medicated, propped up, hidden, manipulated, transported, protected and sheilded by her endless MYRIAD of handlers, aids, doctors, nurses, spokesmen, Secret Service details and her prestitutes throughout the Main Stream Media!
The video of the real Hillary Clinton spazzing, collapsing and being physically propped up, carried, literally dragged and thrown into the van by a massive number of people; coupled with the cartoon of Hillary Clinton pictured as a DEAD, LIFELESS STATUE being propped up by a multitude of individuals and organizations WHO KNOW SHE IS DEAD and the epitome of evil, BUT THEY ARE PROPPING HER UP AND TRYING TO DRAG HER LIFELESS BODY ACROSS THE FINISH LINE ANYWAY BECAUSE IT IS IN THEIR PERSONAL INTEREST TO DO SO, AND NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF AMERICA OR ITS CITIZENS:
Combined, they are the quintessential image of the real, genuine, unfiltered, unscripted Hillary Clinton and her selfishly ambitious "race for the Presidency".
To quote "Bones" diagnosis of Hillary: "She's dead Jim."
Aye,dead bitch walkin .,,
“Climbing back into contention”
“Kellyanne Conway has righted the ship”
This is halarious. Trump’s Big Mo’ has been there all along.
Just as the media tried to deny it and cover it up during the primaries, with blatantly fabricated polls, dishonest reporting of enthusiasm, and every other trick in the book, they are doing the same with the Trump vs Clinton “race”.
I don’t know how many of the pundits have really believe their own spin, and are simply in denial, vs. how many have been following marching orders to report the race as a slam dunk for Clinton this week, ‘tightening’ the next week, all along casting it as a sad choice between two undesirable candidates.
What you are seeing now is the media and their masters finally giving up on their arrogant and condescending attempt to hypnotize the masses into believing “You don’t like Trump”, “You don’t like Trump”. Repeat after me: “You don’t like Trump”. “Trump is an embarrassment”. “Only uneducated white racist males like Trump”. “He’s a clown, s talk show host, a rude buffoon, he’s dangerous and he’s not conservative.”
It’s not working - it was never working.
The fact is, The People want most of the people in government fired, and yet for a long time they have given up hope that it could ever happen. Along comes Trump, and it seems like he might actually be able to do it.
It’s funny how they act like Trump’s prospects are suddenly not hopeless. If they were so hopeless, then why have I felt confident he would win all year?
Go Trump!!
I will respectfully disagree with you. I am one who tends to believe the polls. They were right in 2012, and I believe they are generally right now. A month ago, Hillary was enjoying a post convention bump, and Trump was dealing with the fallout of his Russia comment (he wasn’t encouraging espionage like the media tried to play it out to be), the Khan comments, and questions whether or not he was Presidential (attributed to what they said was lack of policy at rallies and off the cuff gaffes). Republicans were coming out saying they couldn’t vote for him, Republicans who said they were voting for him like Ryan were condemning him, and there was talk of having the RNC divert resources down ballot. The poll numbers weren’t good.
If things were doing well, Trump would not have restructured his campaign. Manafort wouldn’t be gone, and Conway/Bannon wouldn’t be in charge. Trump has completely turned this around, and it’s been great to see. He has used a teleprompter (while still ad libbing here and there) and really focused on hitting Hillary hard and talking policy, giving detailed policy speeches, has reached out to African American voters, gone to Mexico, and visited areas of the country where citizens are struggling. The polls reflect this. Gone are the daily questions of “Will he pivot for a general election?” “Can he be Presidential?” The answer is that he has pivoted without changing his policies, and he has shown he can be Presidential. The media has all but dropped that attack line. Gone are the Republicans attacking him consistently (with the exception of some criticism regarding his Putin comments). We aren’t seeing lists put out by the WaPo or NYT anymore of Republicans either saying they are voting for Hillary or not voting at all. Sure, I firmly believe there are establishment or purist Republicans that don’t like him, but many have backed off in criticizing him because they see he is doing well (with the exception of folks like Beck, Shapiro, Flake, etc.).
Meanwhile, Hillary has been mired in controversy with her emails, foundation, and health. She’s been off the trail and hobnobbing with the elite at fundraisers while she insults the little people, Trump supporters, as “baskets full of deplorables.”
If the media was fudging the polls (and I can understand why people believe that), why would they start revealing the truth now, though? Meaning, Hillary has had a bad stretch. If they kept her up in the polls through this bad stretch, then she would “appear” unbeatable. The polls have seemed to follow the trajectory of how the campaigns are doing. For example, Trump had a bounce coming out of the convention.
I can’t get excited when the polls are good if I refuse to believe the same polls when they are bad. Momentum is shifting our way right now, and that is a good thing.
“we might actually made headway into the black community and get them on the right track...if it’s possible at this point.”
I would not count on this. Every black American I know, and I know quite a few, is diametrically opposed to Trump, and are convinced that if he wins, it is the end of the world, some of them literally.
I agree with Noumenon, there will be an extraordinary uptick in violence in the streets when Trump wins.
“I can’t get excited when the polls are good if I refuse to believe the same polls when they are bad. Momentum is shifting our way right now, and that is a good thing.”
Your point is nonsense. The objective fact of Trump being in the lead all along has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not the polls ever accurately reflected that fact. It has been noted here at FR ever since Trump entered the race that Trump was never behind at any time during the primaries or now. Yet we still see those, like yourself, that somehow can’t get their minds around the fact that the MSM has been gaslighting the American people ongoingly for, like, forever, with their BS constructs that Trump was behind his primary opponents and the Hildabeast. Why can’t you acknowledge that you’ve been lied to by the MSM and the Marxocrats? C’mon, man, wake up and smell the coffee!
Cillizza still pimping the lie that Trump can’t win without PA.
I don’t trust the polls. Best example is 1980 when Gallup (and others) had Carter up 9 points over Reagan in mid-October! Now there’s no way Reagan suddenly gained 20 points in three weeks.
In 1948 the pollsters had it very wrong too. And Trump’s campaign is similar to Truman’s, the pundits didn’t see it coming. Or didn’t want too.
In most states, they'll be told "Sorry... you already voted!"

Please, Lord, Please - open America’s eyes and get them out to vote for Donald Trump so that he wins the Presidency with a solid mandate. And bless the hearts of all those leftards who swore to move out of the country. Let them go. Build the wall. Don’t let them back in.
GET THAT TO DRUDGE!!! EXCELLENT KILLSHOT GRAPHIC as Scott Adams would say. If Drudge puts that on his home page - it’s done!!
It is an outstanding graphic...posted by another FReeper...I just grabbed it when it first posted Monday...wish I knew who to credit for it!
This is the kind of guy who if he was in the Civil War would have a uniform with the gray on one side and the blue on the other.
You could get whiplash with his changes of opinion.
