Ludicrous questions asked by a Donk pollster comparing Trump to various bad things. I imagine Trump supporters hung up on the pollsters when they started to ask about this. Comparing Trump to Bubonic Plague and Bedbugs. Pollsters think they are being cute, but it hurts their standing for seriousness... Plus black voter is low single digits.

Variation of a push poll ask idiotic questions about the candidate the pollster hates.

The race has remained remarkably stable for months.

When you look at the average of all the polls, Hillary has been very steady at 42% while Trump has been very steady at 38% for nearly the entire race, except for a 3 week period surrounding each candidates convention.

When you look at the polls ... the race doesn’t even appear to have started. Both are still exactly where they were at the start.

I don’t believe a single poll out there to tell me the time of day. They just make up the numbers because of their left-wing politics won’t let them say Trump is winning.

Expect a massive “correction” of those number just before the election so they don’t look entirely foolish and unreliable.

Here are some of the nutty questions. I must be a Luddite. What is a Carnie? Then look at the 2012 vote question. What is that?

A D+9 sample sounds too generous to the Dems for me and the fact that Hillary only sports a 5-point lead even with that suggests that this race is indeed tightening.

Trump leads with plus 4 D splits, probably right in line with USC and the “other” PPP.

Thank you for posting this. The questions are shockingly biased against Trump.

A month ago Clinton actually led 46/41 but both she and Trump's support has dropped by 4 points...

Well DUH! Those pollsters and writers are idiots, (or assume the public is idiots)

A month ago was just 10 days after the RNC when Trump had a "bounce", and few days after the DNC when the MSM polls SWORE that Cankles had a huge bounce.

Also, a month ago, all Bernouts were definitely "decided" who they wanted, plus many Cruz fans, and even Kasich fans still wanted their own guy.

So there are no surprises here that large numbers of voters are still UN-decided.
Its not even surprising that MSM pollsters continue to over-sample "registered" Dems by 5%, and over-sample women, often by as much as 10%.

I like to watch the ISW poll, which I presume it may over-sample in Trump's favor by about 5 to 8%, but this poll was super handy during the primaries and it is very good for spotting trends.

Note the OHIO "trend" below for Cankles !

This poll says it used respondents who were (36.3% Republicans, 35.7% Democrats, and 28.0% Other).

ISW says it "was started in March 2012 by two friends with two very different views of politics. We are constantly finding and building new ways to boost voter engagement and education using information, data, and breaking technologies."

The methodology of this poll is comparable to the (UPI Cvoter, USC LA Times, and PPD) polls,
where THIS poll averages 30 days of online results for each data point, where as the later 3 poll average 7 days of online results for each data point.


By comparison to these four polls above, the Reuters/Ipsos poll is total garbage; that one is the most left-leaning Soros-led junk poll.

Trump’s going to have his best week yet. Meeting with the Mexican President tomorrow and then an African American Church on Sunday while Hillary is on bed rest ... Trump will be leading handily by next week ...

Not just that, but if you have an IVR poll and start asking ridiculous questions like that, if you’re a Republican, you’re going to have a tendency to hang up on the poll.

So if they didn’t complete out the survey, that may be a reason for the D+9 sample and why the margin remained at C+5.

D+9? Really?

Does anybody seriously think that will mirror the November turnout?

Trump is in the lead here and that lead will grow.

Any poll showing Hillary up 9 nationally is laughable... just like any poll showing her with support above mid 40s is.

Her absolute max national support is low 40s.. 43ish...

Take the PA poll that came out the other day, that said she was up solid.... it showed 17% of I’s voting for the libertarian... I can guarantee you, the libertarian on election day will not get anywhere near 17% of the Independent vote.

We’ll see how this hole thing plays out, but these polls are just so out of whack this year its amazing. Bubba couldn’t get 50% on election day, yet they want us to believe that Hildabeast is seeing that kind of support, despite all the corruption surrounding her? Its flat out laughable... just like the story about Trumps negatives are why Hillary is winning.. The difference between the two in terms of negatives is like 2-3%.. or in other words for all practical purposes statistically irrelevant yet they keep trying to push that narrative.
