For all those ready to jump off a cliff the last few days, Rasmussen provides some sanity here. Trump still up 12 points with Independent voters. Still some squirrelly numbers with men. The problem, if there is one, is the GOPe. Trump is only getting 72% of the GOP vote. If he gets 85-90 he is winning this thing.

Exactly right. If Republicans would just coalesce around Trump, he would win going away. He needs to have 3 months of no gaffes and those numbers will rise. Just a bunch of wobbly Republicans right now.

The good news is that these are people that are gettable.

Apparently the Republicans have low information voters, too.

“Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans now support Trump, down from 86% a week ago”

They’re trying to demoralize the base with the media onslaught. That’s the entire problem - right leaning people becoming demoralized. We can save the USA - don’t get all weak kneed now! #MAGA

As soon as the Witch has to campaign again that deficit will evaporate. Stick with it, don’t give up, don’t let the leftists shame you into doing the wrong thing! It’s their only path to victory.

I no longer trust RasmussenReports, especially since it is lacking Rasmussen. It has taken a neck-jarring turn to the left in recent years.

forget about the polls- the election hinges on one thing; wikileaks...if they are released and as bad as advertised clinton is toast...if they are not released it will be an uphill climb for Trump...

Noteworthy: “Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans now support Trump, down from 86% a week ago, while Clinton’s support among Democrats has risen from 79% last week to 82% this week. Fourteen percent (14%) of Republicans now prefer Clinton, while 11% of Democrats support Trump.”

Any comments here about the independent voters? It seems that Donald is doing even better with them now and I noticed that when I looked at Rasmussen earlier today.

Until that changes I will not be voting GOP down ticket. Politics is a two way street in my book. IF the GOPe want Trumpers support/votes they need to support Trump. Period.

This poll and the USC/LA Times one are probably give a more accurate idea of where the race is at right now.

Within the margin of error, which makes this a tie. To me this is good news, especially in light of how badly the media is bashing Trump.

Bingo. Liberals are ruthless. The problem is the GOP. As a party they don’t deserve to win.

The treason and mass suicide among republicans this week was pathetic.

This looks like a decent poll. Clinton is 1% over the margin of error... which means she and Trump have swapped margin of error leads. No big deal.

I keep repeating myself but this is the time to hit Clinton with media so Trump can break out of the margin or error noise and stake out a lead that Hillary cannot erase. To me, the issue is that Hillary cannot campaign to catch up. If she loses her impact via the media she has nothing.

“The problem, if there is one, is the GOPe.”

The problem is Trump running his mouth without engaging his brain.

“Trump is only getting 72% of the GOP vote. If he gets 85-90 he is winning this thing.”

He will win if he can manage to sound mostly rational and know what he’s talking about most of the time until election day. If not, all bets are off. He REALLY needs someone to help him out with to stay on message.

Movement of the polls indicates the size of the undecided. Nothing more.

That said, post-Convention bump is a mis-nomer. It is specifically a Post-Khan bump. So far, Trump has lost the propaganda war on that one due to his not framing it correctly.

There will be many bumps for everyone between now and November.

Lots of Globalist Kool-Aid drinkers in the GOP. Somehow open borders and one sided trade deals are now Conservative touch stones.
