as to your item #3, the primary was stolen from Bernie. he was the real victor on the RAT side. we could realistically assume that something similar mightve happened with items #1 and 2. the nwo was putting in the globalist candidates they wanted. but this time theyre not getting away with it. this couldve happened a long time ago if any of those Establishment candidates wouldve stood up the way Teump is. But they never did....

Well, one person here sure thought I was trying to take a shot at Trump over it. I just know Zogby’s polls over the years have been terrible since his one winning prediction and apparently I’m a bad guy for saying Zogby’s isn’t a FR fave.

"However, I seriously doubt Trump would beat her either; too many hip white college educated voters will reject him. they were Romney’s best demographic, in terms of participation, and Trump cannot win without them...Ironic isn’t it; one of the worst Dem opponents in years and the Pubs are about to put forward the only two people in the world that could lose to her..."

Clinton will not carry NC, Ga, Mo nor Fla black turnout will not be sufficient for Hellary to get those states.
I don't see Az voting for Hellary either.
Depending on down state turn out Ohio and even Michigan could go Trump, since there is no black on the ticket in both of these states black turn also be down. I view her picking Kane as an acknowledgment she is weak in Virginia and needs a Va firewall. Though Kaine was a strange choice he is the least popular of the two Rat Va senators. I thought she would go with Cory Booker to keep black turn out high. Her strategy seems to be one of stirring up racial animosity and playing the “Obama Card” to keep it high. I don't think that will get her the turn out numbers she needs.

Consider, too that Nixon’s approval ratings were horrendous at this point in the campaign in 1972, especially when the Watergate mess began rearing its ugly head. I remember my parents, like many other Republicans thought he was crooked going back to the days when he was Ike’s VP, yet looked what happened.

Lots of folks here look correctly at polls. They look at the weightings, the demographics, the questions, etc. They know know that a bad poll that says good about Trump is as much a problem as one no falsely negative toward Trump. We know also that it’s fair to criticize the methodology if it warrants it.

I looked at this poll and to get their info you have to register. Beyond that they reveal little.

Online polls are popularity contests that the most excited people answer.

They don’t sample.

and I get he feeling an indictment will be announced right before the election.

Hussein Obaam, America's FIRST Muslim President, will NOT let Hillary be indicted for anything.

Hussein controlled the FBI.

Hussein controlled the Attorney General

Hussein controlled the Secretary of State when Libya was illegally attacked. IF it needs ot be done for the Muslim takeover of the West, Hussein will get it done.

The Muslims need Hillary and that includes massive voter fraud. A big part of the Muslim destruction of the west is flooding Muslims into the west. Hillary has already bought into that notion.

On the other hand, you can only forge so much. Many Americans already believe Hillary is a crook. More evidence might make it too big of a landslide to forge.

There are scientific online polls and there are non-scienticic online polls.

It is possible to get lots of samples and create a sample of groups balanced according to known demographics.

Over time the averages of the groups are more and more likely to reflect the total world of Internet users.

Which today is about everyone from 70 on down.

I absolutely agree. It is truly going to come down to who will pull the draw of the people to their party. It will come down to the debates where there are no TelePrompTer’s and they will have to answer the questions on the fly.

Zogby had Gore leading by 2 in Florida on election day.

Crap poll is right. Any poll that shows the hag ahead is by default crap. Trump is so freaking far ahead.

I would agree.

It’s a right leaning “newspaper”. An admitted right leaning paper.
If you look at polls from the Washington Post, it shows Hillary winning in a landslide. Why? It’s a left leaning newspaper.

Polls are what they are. It’s always going to be biased and based on their subs which typically lean one direction or the other.

At this point, the dabates are going to be what decides the vote swing in either direction.

The media only cares about power. That’s where we are. They will grind their teeth and work tirelessly to undermine a President Trump.
