... The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch survey shows Clinton taking a four-point lead over Trump – 42% to 38% - among Likely U.S. Voters. Fifteen percent (15%) still prefer some other candidate, while five percent (5%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
A week ago, it was Clinton 39%, Trump 38%. The race has essentially been tied in Rasmussen Reports surveys since last October. Trump had his best showing a month ago, leading Clinton 42% to 37%. The latest finding is Clinton’s high to date. ...

Not at all. He’s expanding the battlefield, fighting particularly hard in 15 states, many of which Minion didn’t even work at.
Give me a poll taken two weeks from now and lets see how Red Bernies supporters are falling and the groupies in the medias hype of the hag winning the nomination dies down that would be a clearer picture.
4 point difference swings back to a TIE with just 2% switching.
Tennessee was merely the state which Al Bore represented in congress. He was born and raised in DC.
Only morons or racists think Mexico is a race.
Only morons or racists think Jewish is a race.
Only morons or racists think Americans are a race.
Only morons or racists think Muslims are a race.
I could go on with several more examples.
Your VP selections are logical. Please do not pick Cruz for VP. It will overall subtract more voters than add voters.
True. Cruz brings nothing to a Trump ticket but baggage. I’d even add Herman Cain to my VP list. Smart, talented, handsome, well-dressed, could pick up some African American and Latino voters.
They are working hard here with the Get Out the Vote. One would think we would have a large turn out...but GOV found alot who have never voted before. And they are working hard to encourage them and assist them to get everything they need to to be able to vote and to get there. That is a huge reason so many gave for not voting. Simply no transportation. We are working on that but this is exhausting. This is in San Antonio.

The problem is that only the right are concerned about a truly just society where the law means something. The lefties don’t give a crap about politician’s pasts as long as long as it doesnt affect them and they can push their agendas. They fon’t even know about her past nor will they turn their heads long enough to pay attention because it isn’t entertaining them. As long as they got no skin in the game they don’t care how many people she or Obama has murdered, how the middle class is being skinned by the left, or how corrupt our government is. No the only thing that will make them understand is to let them suffer and experience the consequences of their poors decisions.
Herman Cain was my first choice last time for the same reasons you listed. He would have schooled the juvenile Barack during debates. The bimbo eruptions all originated with Chicago connections, which told me Barack was very scared of Herman.
Unlike Bill Jefferson (BJ) Clinton, Herman never raped any woman, never dropped his pants in front of sub-ordinates, or forced himself on anyone. He may have flirted and given attention to attractive women like most American males. My guess is he dropped out to avoid subjecting his wife to the publicity.

How Carter Beat Reagan
Washington Post admits polling was “in-kind contribution”; New York Times agenda polling.
By Jeffrey Lord – 9.25.12
Dick Morris is right.
Here’s something Dick Morris doesn’t mention. And he’s charitable.
Remember when Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980?
That’s right. Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In a series of nine stories in 1980 on “Crucial States” — battleground states as they are known today — the New York Times repeatedly told readers then-President Carter was in a close and decidedly winnable race with the former California governor. And used polling data from the New York Times/CBS polls to back up its stories.
Four years later, it was the Washington Post that played the polling game — and when called out by Reagan campaign manager Ed Rollins a famous Post executive called his paper’s polling an “in-kind contribution to the Mondale campaign.” Mondale, of course, being then-President Reagan’s 1984 opponent and Carter’s vice president.
All of which will doubtless serve as a reminder of just how blatantly polling data is manipulated by liberal media — used essentially as a political weapon to support the liberal of the moment, whether Jimmy Carter in 1980, Walter Mondale in 1984 — or Barack Obama in 2012.
First the Times in 1980 and how it played the polling game.
The states involved, and the datelines for the stories:
· California — October 6, 1980
· Texas — October 8, 1980
· Pennsylvania — October 10, 1980
· Illinois — October 13, 1980
· Ohio — October 15, 1980
· New Jersey — October 16, 1980
· Florida — October 19, 1980
· New York — October 21, 1980
· Michigan — October 23, 1980
Of these nine only one was depicted as “likely” for Reagan: Reagan’s own California. A second — New Jersey — was presented as a state that “appears to support” Reagan.
The Times led their readers to believe that each of the remaining seven states were “close” — or the Times had Carter leading outright.
In every single case the Times was proven grossly wrong on election day. Reagan in fact carried every one of the nine states.
Here is how the Times played the game with the seven of the nine states in question.
• Texas: In a story datelined October 8 from Houston, the Times headlined:
Texas Looming as a Close Battle Between President and Reagan
The Reagan-Carter race in Texas, the paper claimed, had “suddenly tightened and now shapes up as a close, bruising battle to the finish.” The paper said “a New York Times/CBS News Poll, the second of seven in crucial big states, showing the Reagan-Carter race now a virtual dead heat despite a string of earlier polls on both sides that had shown the state leaning toward Mr. Reagan.”
The narrative? It was like the famous scene in the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy and her friends stare in astonishment as dog Toto pulls back the curtain in the wizard’s lair to reveal merely a man bellowing through a microphone. Causing the startled “wizard” caught in the act to frantically start yelling, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” In the case of the Times in its look at Texas in October of 1980 the paper dismissed “a string of earlier polls on both sides” that repeatedly showed Texas going for Reagan. Instead, the Times presented this data:
A survey of 1,050 registered voters, weighted to form a probable electorate, gave Mr. Carter 40 percent support, Mr. Reagan 39 percent, John. B. Anderson, the independent candidate, 3 percent, and 18 percent were undecided. The survey, conducted by telephone from Oct. 1 to Oct. 6, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
In other words, the race in Texas is close, assures the Times, with Carter actually in the lead.
What happened? Reagan beat Carter by over 13 points. It wasn’t even close to close.

I’m sure they polled San Jose residents for this one
I suspected Hillary would get a temporary lift once she clinched the nomination. It will fade.
It’s the cordinated full court press the lying media is Running on Trump that’s hurting him. Trump is getting censored left and right by the press far worse than anything I’ve seen before. He’s going to have to find a way to get past the gate keepers to get his message out.
Mrs. Bill is running a point behind Mr. Bill 24 years ago, but it’s still enough!
