When polls show Clinton leading by double digits in NC and tied in SC, and tied in Georgia, and tied in Utah, yes they are absolute BS! Trump will take each and every one of those states, winning by double digits in SC, GA, and Utah. But that’s the media narrative. Tell us each day that Trump is losing everywhere, in reliable red states. All America loves the lying witch of Benghazi. The most corrupt politician to ever run for president. I’m having no part of it and no one else should.

Got to remember that because there has been personal or property attacks this time around by the radical left support has been quiet.

I do think the MSM cooks the books for PIAPS.

This is also August and imo won’t start looking at polls in a big way until after Labor Day and then only state polls of likely voters.

That being said, Trump should wake up every day thinking he’s six points down and needs to campaign that way, regardless of what any poll says.

Not exactly. They're fake.

I’m sorry, sir, but Bill Clinton’s popularity shot up over 65% when it was revealed he had an intern under his desk. The majority of Americans want and love a wicked President!

And I always wondered why ?

The good news is that Hillary is very much is disliked, unlike Bill.

I need to read these articles. I’m calling on my fellow Freepers to help me through this time. I am becoming depressed that Hillary will actually win. My children’s future will be gone if she’s elected. I’ve done everything right and have raised them to be God-fearing country loving young ladies. Trump has to win!

The truth is she is not doing so well.

There were Blacks, Asians and Hispanics at the rally we attended in Norcross, GA last year. And a lot of young people.

I sense people are now starting to wake and smell the coffee to see what is going on.

But, that’s just it.

Hillary poll number are NOT strong.

Hillary is stuck in the low 40’s everywhere.

Nearly any poll that shows Hillary winning big is not because Hillary is polling out of the low 40’s it’s because Trump is polling in the high 30’s.

One of those numbers WILL move. Because there is ZERO chance that the two 3rd party candidates get 10-15% of the vote.

As long as Hillary’s numbers stay stuck in the 42 range, I feel Trump will win.

We’re with you Blue Turtle. FreeRepublic has kept me sane(more or less) for 16 years. Stay firm, stay true. I, too have lived in the greatest country in the history of the earth for 61 years. My only fear is for my children. They are going to face challenges larger than the “greatest generation”. Polls are usually right but deep in my bones I fell a 1980 election coming on. Demoralization is a valid political tactic of the left. I have to fight not to fall prey to it, also.

My son-in-law goes around wearing Trump socks, Trump shirt, and Trump hat. LOL

He’s retired military, 27 years (USAF) and a proud Trumpster.

Go Trump!!

One has to wonder how many of those Obama “not likely voters” who showed up in key states were really voter fraud from nursing homes, the dead and fraudulent use of voter names. Of course voting machine tampering could also be a factor.

The polls are the way they are, so when Hillary! loses in November, the pundits, media, Democrats - and current President, Justice Department and most Government leaders - can claim fraud and force a revote or overturn the election in courts.

There’s nothing the least bit strong about a woman who has recurring tics, spasms, and losses of orientation and memory - not to mention the already-perceived loss of bowel control.

One thing to add ... You aren’t going to see Trump move in the polls until October ... I’ll bet the election remains kind of flat until the first debate.

Trump’s campaign is going to start airing ads ... I’ll bet they’ll ramp up in frequency until the first debate. After that I’m hoping for a blitz throughout October. If that’s their strategy, there are going to be a lot of nervous people posting Hillary friendly polls for another month :-). If Trumps numbers don’t improve throughout October, I’ll be nervous.

Bottom line, the campaign is going to start next month, so please try and do your best to ignore these polls for now :-) (not saying this to you TexasFreeper ... Mainly to people nervous in general ... While I’ve certainly been wrong about many things, I’m pretty sure I’m right about this strategy).

I think Trump has done an outstanding job solidifying his base during his campaign stops this summer. This final phase should grow his support and push him over the top. It’s gonna be HUGE!!! :-)

Most people around me right now are voting Clinton (in this area, not my home). It is baffling to me but they feel no matter what Hillary has done, Trump is worse.

I think Trump can win but it would be foolish to think he’s got this easily. The media are paid so much for a reason. Their palinization is extraordinarily effective.

The main thing is the Electoral College and Clinton has that sewed up because there are so many blue states.


And this is all that needs to be said. She could win easily.

Millions of Trump supporters in CA, and we might as well not even register to vote.
