NBC News: Why Trump's in Trouble: He's Underperforming Romney in 2012
NBC News ^ | October 17, 2016 | Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann

Posted on 10/17/2016 7:08:57 AM PDT by Zakeet

Our latest national NBC/WSJ poll is bad news for Donald Trump's prospects three weeks out until Election Day, and the problem for him runs deeper than the headline result showing Trump trailing Hillary Clinton by double digits. He's also underperforming Mitt Romney with key parts of the electorate, including women, men, Latinos, whites, and whites with college degrees. Just look at comparison between Trump's standing in our new poll and Romney's eventual standing in the 2012 exit poll:

As NBC/WSJ co-pollster Bill McInturff (R) observes, these numbers in the poll don't align with anyone who has gone on to win a presidential election. So if Trump is going to win with three weeks to go, it will be one of the most dramatic comebacks in the history of American politics.

Romney was laying down on life support, at this time in 2012. Trump’s doing fine.

-- Most of Hillary's potential voters are not enthused about voting for her. If they think it's a done deal, maybe they will just stay home. --

The (gaslighting) script will show a close race the week before the election. They ALWAYS do, regardless of the reality.

Yep.

And when you ask yourself “Why would NBC, who would love nothing more than to see Trump defeated, be using it’s resources to tell us this? -— the answer becomes abundantly clear.

Mark Murray attended a dinner at John Podesta’s home in 2015. Chuck Todd is so boring. They’re all liars.

Romney lost, thanks to the Democrat media turning that Mr. Milquetoast into Scrouge, who let his worker’s wife die of cancer.

No, Romney lost, in part, because he could not adapt to a media that is increasingly more partisan in several areas of its operation.

It's just like the incessant whining on FR about "the media is unfair". Really, is that a surprise? I mean, it took Buckhead and FR to expose and take on a mainstream media organization.

Part of Trump's resiliency is that he has disrupted the media's normal mode of operations. This includes being very direct in calling out their relationships with Secretary Clinton, President Obama, etc. He very clearly has gotten inside their OODA loop.

As NBC/WSJ co-pollster Bill McInturff (R) observes
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Verrrrrrrrry Interesting.......(SGT Schultz)

Apparently McInturff is a pollster.

To ‘solidify’ their story, NBC points out McInturff’s political affiliation.

Especially nice when one considers if a D ‘personality’ gets in ‘trouble’ one may go pages into the story before that is revealed.

So I guess the ‘new’ NBC policy is to ID all their on-air personalities whenever their name is announced or picture shown.

Something ‘tells’ me that is not going to or will never happen.

"We deeply regret we included the inappropriate demonstration in our 'Dateline' report," said a statement read by NBC News co-anchors Jane Pauley and Stone Phillips Tuesday night. "We apologize to our viewers and to General Motors. We have also concluded that unscientific demonstrations should have no place in hard news stories at NBC. That's our new policy."

In its apology, NBC admitted that it had used incendiary devices to ensure that a fire would erupt if gasoline leaked from the truck being hit by a test car. The 15-minute segment was addressing critics' charges that GM's full-size pickup trucks built between 1973 and 1987 are unsafe because their gasoline tanks are on the sides of the trucks, outside the frame.

I understand that NBC gave $6 million to the Clinton campaign.

Static analysis.

Say what you will about Obama, but he was an INFINITELY stronger candidate than Hillary Clinton.

Didn't the NY Slimes recently admit that the press had,”reluctantly”,decided to actively assist the Former Twelfth Lady because Trump was such a filthy,dangerous psychopath?

That’s such bullshit.

Everyone I talk to around me is supporting Trump. It is overwhelming to see how enthusiastic people are for him. The only thing that could keep him from winning is a rigged election. Which looks more and more likely.
