TRUMP has the enthusiasm. From rally crowds to ALL of Social Media, all of the enthusiasm is for TRUMP.

But, looking at the polls, all I can see is Trump trailing Hillary by BIG numbers. Not just a few polls, but in most. When I look at the Media, same thing.

Something is not jiving here. And I’m reminded how the polls told us that Hillary was going to win Michigan by 12, she lost to Bernie by two.

Actually the polls were worse than winning Michigan by 12. They predicted 27 point victory. And yes Hillary did lose by 2 points. That is a 29 point swing in what the polls were predicting and what the voters did.

Wonder why the pollsters have no traction now?

The value of the Mexican Peso has been a good ‘poll’.
Good sign for Trump when it falls, good sign for Hillary when it rises.
When it was rising the media had several articles about how good that was for Hillary.

It’s falling.
There are no articles...

“Something is not jiving here.”

1. MANY of the national polls have Trump within MoE, so you’re apparently only looking at the fake national polls, like NBC, WSJ, etc.

2. MANY of the national polls are fake, with ridiculous internals, like D+10, etc., LIKE NBC, WSJ, etc.

3. National polls don’t mean squat: tens of millions who are for Hillary in California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey that skew the national polls towards Hillary are meaningless: only the state polls in a half a dozen swing states mean anything at all, and pretty much all polling even there is suspect anyway to due to factors such as unknown accuracy of polls due to only 6% response rate, people lying or dodging the polls, etc.

I don’t know exactly which poll it is - but Fox news had a poll today that shows Trump now closing the gap by something like 5 points from earlier in the week. Even Faux can’t hide the truth. Look for more of a surge in the “official” polls because these numbskulls don’t want to be shown to be the Hitlery shills that they most certainly are.

There is some jive, because the numbers don't jibe.
