The internals of this poll make no sense in any level but a few takeaways here. 1) This is 3rd poll in 2 days showing the race as a statistical tie - Zogby, USC, Rasmussen. 2) Most of Johnson's support is the current Trump protest vote meaning Trump has more upside as the race moves on 3) He still has a sizeable lead amongst Independents. 4) 41% for Hillary is really bad.

If things are that bad for her, then why is Hellery pulling ads in Co, Pa? That means either they think its locked up for them and they will concentrate on OH, FL or they are running out of money... myself, Hellery has access to Tons of cash, legal or not.

There is no way Johnson gets 9% of the vote, hell the libertarian party got less than 1% last election and I think Johnson ran then also

A lot has changed in technology since 2012 that I believe will have an impact on polling accuracy. More and more people are cutting cords on telephones and cable television. A large (and growing daily) percentage of the population only have internet service and a good percentage of those only have internet service to their mobile phone. For all intents, this population is not able to be polled effectively.

In short, I will not be surprised if many of the polling firms miss by epic proportions. Some will likely take haven in “too close to call” or “within MOE.”

I think the reason that it’s being reported now that they are ‘neck and neck’ ‘in the margin of error’ is because with the lies of Hillary being so far ahead of Trump, the people won’t think they need to come out and vote, so they’ll stay home...

Trump is in a good place at this point. He’s getting almost twice as many independents as Romney did. He really only has to increase his strength among Republicans to win. Now if he can reverse some of the strength of Hillary among women and further drive up his numbers among men he will win big. Trump hasn’t even used some of his most powerful weapons that could drive a wedge between women and Hillary. He doesn’t even have to get their votes just make sure they are so disgusted with her that they can’t bring themselves to vote for her.

But the MSM continues to remind us everyday that Trump is losing ground. /s
