That is the biggest line of BS ever posted. Laughable really.

And Reagan started with a 35 point deficit to Jimmuh Carter and Jimmuh promised never to tell a lie while Hillary has promised never to tell a truth. My money is on the rich guy.

Cruz may be most conservative but he’s too religious to appeal to many voters.

Reagan, on the other hand, was somewhat conservative but he most certainly did not wear his religion on his shoulder and push it in everyone’s face. That was his appeal. Conservative and religious-neuteral.

Cruz’s mistake was preaching all the time. Now he wants to “tone it down” for broader appeal, but the image has been made. Religion is a very personal thing and should remain that way, especially in the political world.

Oh, and Beck didn’t help Cruz... at all.

These polls come at a time when Trump has been under unprecedented attack from the right (and the left, for that matter) in a bitter GOP primary where party ‘leaders’ have been behaving shamefully. It’s not surprising that he’s down for now. Also remember that the NBC/WSJ polls have been very unfavorable to Trump throughout his entire candidacy thus far and ABC/Wash Post is not far behind. Don’t forget that 2 recent polls (SUSA and PPP) found Trump ahead in Florida. So let’s just stay calm and hope that Trump emerges from the primary soon so he can start rallying all Republicans to his cause.

The hate for Trump is real. Do not dismiss this. Some people see him the same as Hillary or worse.

So how long are we to ignore these polls, or write them off to anti establishment paranoia? Fact is, Trump is the weakest candidate vs Clinton, and would loose head to head to any other Republican in the race. I find it hard to believe that we can nominate someone who only gets, soaking wet, only 40% of the Republican vote, and is openly opposed by the other 60%.

Clinton must not be POTUS.

Since we don’t have a national election by way of popular vote wins, but actually have the Electoral College, such polls are really not very useful.

Polls on a state by state basis, with a large and honest sample from all over each state (not concentrated in cities), may be more useful.

Polls with only registered voters are also not particularly useful. Likely voters are much more useful.

All in all, polls such as these are almost always published to sway opinion, not to accurately reflect opinion.

How many different “polls” are there floating around? First its Trump over Clinton, then its Clinton over Trump, then it Trump over Clinton............Who the hell cares what the polls say. Get to the real meat of the issue and wait for the vote to take place. Then and ONLY THEN will we get the real truth. I’m sick of ‘polls”.

Vote tallys so far in all primaries:
Democrats- 8+ million votes
Republicans- 12+ million votes.
If Republicans will stick together and vote for WHOEVER our candidate is, we will swamp them. So, don’t stay home because your favorite candidate wasn’t the nominee.

Have you ever noticed that people (myself included) treat polls like we treat studies?

If a study says coffee is good for you, and you like coffee, you say, “Yeah, nice to know!”

If a study says coffee is bad for you and you like coffee, you say, “Oh, that’s BS.”

This is a forecast that will give you pause because of the number of times it's been CORRECT since 1912.

The ONLY time this forecast, has been incorrect when applied, was ONCE, which was in 1960.

This is a PROFOUND PREDICTION

Political science professor forecasts Trump as general election winner
The Statesman  | February 23, 2016 | Christopher Cameron

A professor of political science at Stony Brook University has forecasted that Donald Trump has a minimum 97 percent chance of winning the general election as the Republican nominee.

Professor Helmut Norpoth's forecast presentation took place Monday evening in the SUNY Global Center in Manhattan, which was organized by the Stony Brook Alumni Association.

Norpoth created a statistical model of presidential elections that uses a candidate's performance in their party's primary and patterns in the electoral cycle as predictors of the presidential vote in the general election.

Donald Trump has a 97 percent chance of defeating Hillary Clinton and a 99 percent chance of defeating Bernie Sanders in the general election, according to Norpoth's formula.

"The bottom line is that the primary model, using also the cyclical movement, makes it almost certain that Donald Trump will be the next president," Norpoth said, "if he's a nominee of the [Republican] party."

Norpoth's primary model works for every presidential election since 1912, with the notable exception of the 1960 election. These results give the model an accuracy of 96.1 percent.

Well, if other candidates can’t stop Trump, might as well start trying to use rigged polls.

Nothing to lose.
