Trump Poll Bounce Rattles Experts
Rushlimbaugh.com ^ | 7/25/2016 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/25/2016 11:10:35 AM PDT by GilGil

...Donald Trump comes out of his convention ahead of Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, topping her 44% to 39% in a four-way matchup including Gary Johnson (9%) and Jill Stein (3%) and by three points in a two-way head-to-head, 48% to 45%. ...

There hasn't been a significant post-convention bounce in CNN's polling since 2000. That year Al Gore and George W. Bush both boosted their numbers by an identical 8 points post-convention before ultimately battling all the way to" the Florida recount, the aftermath, and Supreme Court decision. There haven't been convention bounces.

Obama didn't get one in 2008. Bush didn't get one in 2004. Nobody got one in 2004, 2008, or 2012. So this is the first convention bounce in the CNN poll -- Trump got it -- since 2000. That's CNN, and this... Believe me. Don't doubt me on this. Despite the smiling and attempts at everything's okay and all is normal that you're seeing from Democrats this week, they're worried. They are panicked. Because Trump was supposed to be nowhere near Hillary. Trump was not supposed to be close, much less leading.

This feels a lot like when Jeb started to crumble against Trump and was powerless to stop it. Trump said in another interview that Hillary has spent $102 million in ads against Trump or roughly $500,000 per day.

Now Trump is going to step up his attacks on Hillary mercilessly not taking anything for granted. He will drive to obliterate her into ruin so she cannot rise again. The Wikileaks scandal and firing Blabbermouth Schultz as chairman of the DNC is a great first start. Whatever Hillary is spending on ads Trump is matching and exceeding in FREE media. What a competitive advantage for Trump.

By October it will appear as if Trump is running unopposed and landslide will be the word the most used to describe his candidacy.

LOL! Just wait until after the dncE gabfest in Philly. No doubt the msm will be reporting that her poll numbers will show she’s gained a 180% lead over the Donald. ‘Specially after the true believers listen to her acceptance screech. I mean speech. Yeah, that’s it. Even one of our lib acquaintances said “You think the rnc convention was bad, wait until the dnc one gets underway.” Popcorn time.

Hacking is wrong. It is against the law. I would never do it or condone it.

But God Bless Julian Assange for showing the corruption of Hillary Clinton

At the very least I saw the democrat convention layout and compared to the RNC convention it looks like something slapped together. What a depressing disappointment in terms of the visuals.

If Trump could chip at Johnson’s 9% and former Sander’s supporters it will be a landslide

As is mis-handling classified information, but we all saw what the consequence for that happened to be. The Rule of Law has run its course in these formerly United States. Now it is used to oppress We the People.

I know Trump is taking nothing for granted and old Manafort and Trump are probing for weaknesses. Trump things in terms of sports and team play-offs. He is probing Clinton’s flanks a lot like a boxing match. Trump talks a lot about boxers. Hillary is clueless when it comes to sports. She does not understand teams and competition in this context.

Once they assess Clinton they will take nothing for granted and pulverize,pulverize,pulverize until she is dust.

I refuse to believe that Gary Johnson is as 9%.
Most voters think he’s the guy who played The Professor on Gilligan’s Island.

“Hacking is wrong. . .”

Yes, but those who are supposed to be enforcing the reasonable and fair laws have left the building. Look how the FBI has whiffed, yet again, on admitted law breaking, etc.

So now we have more vigilante justice. Which is what you get when you don’t have proper justice.

When proper justice is restored, I’ll take more offense at hacking and similar.

Agreed...it is feeling very similar to Jeb.
Now if Hillary will just keep ignoring advice for a couple months, Nov could be a very good month.
