I can tell you this, if I hear any news of Trump, either positive or negative, I check who the sources are. So far the pollsters of at least two polls that have come out recently against Trump are known enemies of Trump.

That's fine, except that there are now 6 polls all showing the same trend. Are you saying that all 6 polling companies are enemies of Trump? If so, why are some of those same companies showing Trump leading in other states?

I’ve made it clear I give no credence to any polling games short of showing a candidate declining in a majority of polls to single digits.

To be frank, those that spend excessive time reading polls are a waste of time except for Donald Trump who uses them for advertising his success, whether real or not.

The only poll that matters is the one taken at the voting booth. People that have gotten up, got themselves ready, put all other plans on hold to attend a rally to see Donald Trump can be viewed as reliable. Whereas, the typical 10% that respond to a poll are not reliable because the degree of commitment is not the same.

I will repeat, the only time I would pay attention to polls is when I see the majority of polls showing a candidate declining to single digits over a prolonged time. Everything else poll-related is not worth following.

The things to follow for reliable indicators are the rallies, the nature of those rallies, the neutral venues and spectrum of demographics drawn to a candidate.

Polls by and of themselves are pathetic.
