Big rallies are great, but even at ~600,000 total attendance, that’s only .5% of voters. So 99.5% of voters haven’t been to a rally, and only have seen the news coverage which is viciously slanted against Trump. So not sure these rallies are as effective as they might seem.
What it means is motivation.... people more motivated tend to vote more.... they are also more active getting others to vote..... even Democrats know she is crooked.... they just believe conservatives are the devils... whatever she did conservatives will do worse... get use to it........
Any family pictures of you with your head in the sand?
I haven't, and won't, attend a Trump rally. Nothing personal to Trump; I just don't like pep rallies. I have, however, watched his speeches live and later on youtube. Watching and listening to him persuaded me to support him.
While factual, it ignores the true message here, which is that all the motivated enthusiasm is on Trump's side, and the disparity is enormous.
Gargantuan, even.
And motivated enthusiasm is the only thing that counts come election day.

____
1. In the months, years and decades to come, over 20 million people will claim to have attended one.
2. Big events do generate enthusiasm that becomes viral. Viral trends begun in person are stronger than those generated through digital persuasion.
3. The disparity shows just how much more “on the ground” enthusiasm is generated.
4. And this is BIG LEAGUE, Trump has figured out how to build momentum in target states while still running the national campaign he promised.
“So not sure these rallies are as effective as they might seem.”
I think you are way wide of the mark. Big rallies equate to energy and commitment. The fact that Hillary has none of it can’t be good. It’s one thing to tell a pollster who you like, it’s quite another to go to the trouble to go vote for that person when deep down, you know she’s a POS!
Hey Mr. Shoop, did ya add in the tens of hundreds of thousands who couldn’t attend his rallies, who watched Trumps rallies on the Internet in real time on a daily and weekly basis?
Think of those numbers and then look at next poll sample. Statistics are amazing. They poll 850 people to represent 200 million. Sure they do demographic analysis to “correctly” weigh the sample but...
“Real life” poll: Trump will be in town tomorrow. What will you do?
1. Do nothing, don’t care (probably Hillary)
2. Protest his visit (Bernie convert to Hillary)
3. I would like to go but don’t like large crowds/lines (50/50 Hillary or Trump)
4. I will go by an hour before and see if I can get a seat (Trump voter)
5. I will get off work and wait all day (definite Trump voter)
So what is the breakdown in your area, key swing counties?
Next Poll question: Hillary will be in town tomorrow. What will you do? Ah, nevermind
