Polls seem to be falling apart for Trump. Still, he is on message and drawing large crowds. Saw his Erie, PA rally yesterday. Trump was great.

The brutal media attacks have been run 24/7 and may be affecting some of the marginal Trump supporters. Since the media is controlled by the left it is difficult to counteract.

What I saw in the Erie, PA rally was Trump clearly stating his main issues and how Hillary differs. No teleprompter, the crowd ate it up; Trump signed autographs, “worked the line,” — the huge audience was gaga.

Trump closed the deal urging the audience to vote and that with wins in PA, Ohio, and Florida, “we win, game over for Hillary.”

Quite a different picture than painted by the media.

Yeah, Trump has been excellent this past week starting with his Detroit economic speech. He’s been focused, detailed in his policy proposals, excellent at eviscerating Hillary, presidential, and (for some speeches) very mellow and measured. I think he final has found a nice balance between being entertaining and substantive. (I like the charts too.) He’s been working hard and making a ton of appearances. I really think over this past week he may have been the best he’s been this whole election cycle since he announced 14 months ago.

Yet, here we see he’s still dropping in the polls. I’d like to think this is just tinkering with the poll methodologies (and I’m sure it is in regard to the NBC/WSJ polls which have always been jokes this whole cycle), but this poll has always leaned toward being overly favorable to Trump like Rasmussen. Other usually fairly reliable polls show him down by large margins.

The only good explanation I think is that the non-stop, pro-Hillary, slanderous attacks on Trump from the “media” are really taking a toll, regardless of anything Trump does or does not do. It is sick to think the propagandists have such control and so few Americans think for themselves, but I already knew that from past elections and personal observation. The attack ads against Trump here in FL are also beyond brutal (yes, they are more effective and harder hitting than the ones during the primaries—and they really need to be answered with ads from Trump highlighting his positive attributes and letting Hillary have it for her criminality). I don’t know what can be done about the media propagandists. Their mendacity has probably cost Trump 10 points alone.
