“Probably polls of those battleground states coupled with the key bellwether counties are the best.”
The Axiom Battleground poll of the 7 key counties in the U.S. should be out in a week. This will probably tell us more about the race than any and all the other polls. In July, Trump was up in 6 out of the 7 counties.

C’mon does ANYONE believe this. petty soon it will be as bad as Weekend at Bernies getting her to the finish line.
petty = Pretty (although it almost works)
Your assessment is right on; but people are also getting wise to the media’s game. Pence and Manafort’s media spots will no doubt help for a few weeks.
I don’t know about that. I’m right outside of NYC and have never been polled. Will be driving through IN tomorrow though on my way to Oklahoma to take the daughter to school. I’ll wave hi! Lol.
Lots of good place to visit along the way.
“This poll was +5 for the evil Witch on Friday,”
That really makes no sense. Nothing has happened that would warrant such a jump. Hillary has been in hiding while Trump has been out and about doing his usual thing.
Hillary is bombarding the NE Florida airwaves with her lying ads. I want to shoot the tv.
New Rasmussen Poll has Killary up 43 to Trump 40 (within the 3% MOE)
Promising Poll trends today!!
There’s no way the MSM is going to let Trump off their hook. If they have to, they’ll create a scandal like they did the 92 election with GHWB. I hope Trump is totally ready for it. I’ve never seen such media corruption.
WHAT? The media is still reporting that Hillary is up double digits and Trump is being asked by everyone to step aside and quit?
“Wonder if they ever poll rural America or if the sampling is always done in urban area.”
They do. They poll a diverse sample.
Actually, the Response Rates and Contact Rates are higher for respondents in rual areas than they are in urban areas.
The closer a household is to an urban center, the less likely they are to have a landline, the less likely someone is to be home to answer the phone.
People in rural areas are more likely to be home, more likely to have a landline and more likely to agree to a survey.
“Hillary is bombarding the NE Florida airwaves with her lying ads. I want to shoot the tv.”
Trump needs to do that too.
This race will be decided in Florida.
These polls, though highly inaccurate as to actual voters and their effect on the final vote, may be accurate as to the officially announced vote totals. The polling companies may be actually taking into account expected fraud.
I was in Florida during the run-up to the last Presidential election. Obama ads were blanketing Romney ads. Maybe 8 to 1. Democrats always complain they don't have money vs. “rich Republicans” yet they always seem to have money for expensive television ads.
I received another request for contributions from Trump. I'll send my check right after Trump and Cruz make up.
I heard someone suggest we wear red on Election Day to freak out the media and the establishment!!! That would be so cool!!! WHAT SAY YOU ALL?!!! I’m in!!!
Do not trust any poll that does not include the details or demographics of the poll; such as numbers of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, registered voters, and likely voters. Also check to see if any of these polling groups are weighted; such as Republicans - 0.8, Democrats - 1.2, etc.
Polls are meaningless or misleading without details on how the poll was conducted.
What, a 3.5-point Hillary lead is the best they can fake?
She is losing by a massive amount. My guess is that at least 50% of Dem voters will not show up for her. She could lose by 20 million votes.
No chance she has 49 with 5 candidates.
