Trump is holding -- yesterday was T+1.8.
Not good.
Loss of 11% of his lead.
Pray.
Really Eeyore?? That kind of attitude is not helpful around here.
What, observing facts is not helpful? Give me a break.
Just static
You aren't "observing facts". You are displaying ignorance.
In a poll of about 2,000 people, a change of 0.2% is statistically zero.
The truth about this poll: statistically, it's tied.
The cross tabs (Demographics and Enthusiasm) are the most interesting parts.
Yes, and the temperature was 0.1°C warmer today than it was last year! We are all going to FRY!!!!!
(it is called statistical noise!)
If you look at the ridiculous weighting from the MSM polling, then you must ask why. Why are they skewing numbers if she’s a cinch? She’s no where near as popular as Obama in 2008 or even 2012.
Answer: Trump will win and in a landslide.
He’s not very bright. Posts the same “not good” comment on every thread. Watch this... Hey SoFlo, Trump’s lead in the LATimes poll jumped 500% today. What say you?
Come on, it was funny. If you can’t laugh with your FRiends. . .
PPD states they don't weight by party ID. They do adjust based on demographics and geography.
However, they do track party ID. They didn't post it today, but yesterday it was D+6.
It’s a .2 difference from yesterday for crying out loud!! The only think to observe is its statistical noise.
The polls are lies.
Why would you allow yourself to believe what the MSM feeds you in a poll while (I’d hope) disregarding “climate change” made-up data?
Same people. Same modus operandi. Psy-ops.
But seriously, folks: I did respond to the LA Times Poll thusly:
Good news.
Pray this continues.
I love you guys. And it MAY be "statistical noise", but I think we need to take every movement seriously.
For instance, in Florida during a hurricane, we look at every forecast, every drop in barometric pressure, and every bit of info we can find in order to determine what the future holds.
I acknowledge good and not good info.
God bless.
His lead in this poll is .2% less than it was previously in this poll. No big deal. As others have said, it's statistical noise. Stand down from Red Alert.
How can this be? The media says there are no polls showing Trump in the lead?
Pray America wakes
You’re a concern troll. Seen you on other threads spreading gloom.
Have faith. 11% change in any direction is well within the margin of statistical noise. IMHO, if you want Trump in the White House, then you have lots of reasons to be optimistic - including that he is in the lead despite a probably unprecedented onslaught of media attacks. Extrapolating from Yogi Berra, 90% of politics is perception, the other half is reality.
I also get that not understanding the internals is too much temptation for most people, and they must talk about the poll. I get that.
"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage and basically, you know, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever." - Jonathan Gruber
You need to learn to relax. I understand your concern. We all share it too, but you live and die with every poll. There are no polls that can be taken seriously, even the ones positive for Trump. We honestly won’t know until Election Day.
