This chart tracks our best estimate, over time, of how America plans to vote in November.

The MSM and Democrats still can’t understand Americans have turned their backs on Hillary.
In that sense, the election is over. They’re in shock and in denial about happened.
The debate changed the picture by making it acceptable for people to vote for Trump.
As for what was the CW, its been dead for some time now.
Here's the thing - we know the GOPers in the House and Senate are weak, easily intimidated, and creatures of self interest.
Weakness doesn't only work one way, it works in all ways.
If Obama could push them around, so can Trump.
Even if Trump goes up in the polls everywhere this week, the media will report the event as “even although losing the debate...”
Some Arizona newspaper endorsed her, I don't know what their record is, but the fact that it anyone is talking about it must mean something.
It's cute how these newspapers think anyone values their opinions anymore. Breaking some big no-Democrat-endorsing history for f-ing Hillary Clinton just says to me they're not serious.
“...massive increase in spending on infrastructure ...”
Would that not result in massive construction jobs being created? We do need to cut wasteful federal entitlements, a bloated bureaucracy, etc. and Trump clearly prides himself on keeping unnecessary costs down; look at how well he has kept spending under control in these primaries and the current campaign. The government’s (only) role is to protect us and to maintain our infrastructure.
Spending on construction jobs for real/actual badly needed infrastructure projects and doing it right (without padding and corruption and favors to certain contractors etc.), ought to be considered a plus for Trump. Trump knows how to build and knows how to stay on budget; construction is his expertise.
The Congress only authorizes spending: it is the executive which performs it.
And if Mr. (soon to be President) Trump, who is known for his economy on projects, fails to spend as much as has been allotted, then the deficit will not grow as much as ‘planned’ by the Dem moles within the GOP.
I don’t know if they believe the Republic is doomed and are just partying on the Titanic or whether they’re literal traitors who bought into Coward-Piven.
Almost forgotten is that Romney's battleground states were Florida, Ohio, and NC, of which he only won NC, and that by an eyelash. Mr. Trump is definitely moving the balance point.
The bothersome thing is their "prediction" poll. Most respondents -- including many Trump voters -- think Hillary is going to win. We need to change that perception so it doesn't become a reality!
That’s right up there with: “The operation was a success. The patient died.” Happens.
“Donald tramp”
FOAD, Nathan.
“Progressives? I’d say they are marxists”
Is there a difference?
My current GF made a comment..what guy would vote for Hillary. I added, your ex-BF Steve, your words a blubbering, Beta male weenie whose aggressive passive\agressiveness was the by-product of an overbearing middle manager single Mother and sweater vest pussy absent Dad who was off "Finding himself". To a T this is a male Hilary voter, the orbiting, wimp-man who gets cheated on regularly by women who say they want a sensitive guy but really want a man who takes charge.
Dittos! Me too....89 million watched ...something bad or good will come out of that! I’m hoping for the latter!
Presumably, the private sector will create more jobs with that dollar than will the government for a number of reasons. The private sector is much more efficient because inefficiencies are simply cleaned out of the marketplace by competition. The government is less efficient because it is bound up by rules and regulations which, unfortunately, a president Trump cannot circumvent which are designed not to be efficient but to accomplish other political goals such as bringing pork to the districts at home. Finally, government spending is often spent on an inappropriate purpose such as solar panels. Worse, the solar panels were funded because they made political contributions so there are potential for massive distortions of the economy.
All in all, infrastructure spending by government is an inefficient way to grow the economy. It may be that infrastructure should be improved but that is a decision which should be made on its own merits not as a job producing measure or sold as such.
It might be argued that the dollar which is taken out of the economy for government spending is not actually taken out of the economy in today's world of mega-deficits and mega debts, the dollar is merely added to an imaginary debt which we all know will never be paid off anyway. I leave that conundrum to those who want to consider the coming apocalypse.
The Democrats are not stupid in the IQ sense, they are aware of the dangers posed by our debt overhang yet they persist in extending the debt and obstructing every reasonable effort to contain it. Why? I think we have to take one step back before Cloward and Piven and look at The Frankfurt School with its doctrine of "critical theory" which borders on nihilism and which provides the rationale to bring down the Temple. Not incidentally, it also provides the rationale for the flag salute protests.
I still remember the 1988 debates. Mike Dukakis had every answer perfectly memorized and appeared that he was reading verbatim from policy papers. He came out of that first debate honestly thinking he "nailed it". But the way he so clinically and mechanically handled each question with precision - especially the hypothetical rape question - turned everybody at home off.
Nobody wants a policy wonk to be their president. They want somebody more charismatic with a commanding presence, somebody who sucks the air out of the room when they enter it. JFK had it. Ronald Reagan had it. Donald Trump has it in spades. When he walks into a room - he owns it.
Incidentally, what does FOAD mean?
Liberals have become Leninists, longing to start campaigns of violence and murder against political opponents. The destruction of the middle class (’bourgeoisie’), both financial power and moral outlook, is a primary goal.
Most “progressives” are dilettantes, sip coffee, debate ideas, and wish people like Trump would go away while they drive their BMW home.
Marxists are waiting for the revolution to start, they intend to kill you (and any insufficiently enthusiastic progressives) and/or take your stuff.
While we have a distressing number of progressives in this country, the number of Marxists is fairly low, and conservatives outnumber them and are better armed.
Ted Cruz lost..please, please get over it.
