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.

Everything in the news is helping Trump - BLM douchebags, Mexican-flag waving illegals, and terrorism activities.

Keep it up, folks.

This feels a lot like when Jeb started to crumble against Trump...

There was a political cartoon mid-primary showing the "Trump Wall" with all sorts of opponents lying on the ground, cursing and rubbing their butt-hurt heads. I would love to see that cartoon updated for this slaughter.

Hey RushRINO, try to speak truth for a change....

In 2008, Palin/McQueeg got a yuge convention bounce (thanks to Sarah) and bolted into the lead.

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.

Biden, Gore, who knows? Just feel she is going to be taken down, especially after watching Clinton Cash.

I think 3rd party candidates always poll better than the votes they actually receive.

Why don’t the pollers include the polls? Are they ‘likely’ or merely ‘registered’ voters?

People like you amaze me. You wouldn’t know how to win if it bit you in the crotch.

There is no over confidence here.

You are just afraid of losing so you won’t give it everything you have.

What I have noticed that is screaming is that we are no longer hearing Trump the “sexist” and the “racist.”

All Rush did was repeat the news that CNN put out. It was the largest bounce in CNN polls since 2000. All outlets, left and right, are saying this. So how does that make Rush a RINO?

Even the great orator Hussein O can’t help her now. He’s probably counting down the days quicker than Lazz.

If you don’t recognize RushRINO has long been an Establishment puppet, you haven’t been paying attention.
