Anyone who is certain that the presidential polls taken today are solid evidence of a Hillary Clinton victory over Donald Trump in November might want to take a look at what happened in the U.K.'s "Brexit" vote just a few months ago.
In the week before voters decided whether Britain should leave the European Union, all but two of nine polls showed the "remain" side winning. One gave the remain side a 10-point lead, 55% to 45%. Others had remain up anywhere from eight to two points. Even exit polls suggested that the U.K. would decide to stay in the EU.
Final tally: leave 52%, remain 48%.
The results left pollsters, and many others, scratching their heads. "Many are wondering how, in an age of unprecedented information and data, could the majority of polls predict a wrong outcome," is how CNBC put it.
You don't have to go across the Atlantic to find examples of pollsters getting election outcomes wildly wrong. During the Democratic primaries, pollsters were sure that Hillary Clinton would win in Michigan. The Real Clear Politics average of poll results had Clinton crushing Bernie Sanders by 21 points — 58% to 37%. The FiveThirtyEight blog gave Sanders less than a 1% chance of winning.

Monster Vote
Most of the polling is ALL wrong! D+8, D+9, D+16 with no Obama on the ticket! LOL
NJ (14) going trump for sure
Was IBD exposed as a Clinton front? I’m sure it was a website with “I” in the acronym.
If the voting in the US was not rigged, Donald Trump would win in a landslide. However, George Soros owns the voting machines in 16 States. Those 16 states are all that Hillary needs to win the electoral vote. It is already a done deal.
YUP
You see, from -2 to plus 4 is a solid evidence of a comfortable Clinton victory according to the echo chamber.
Pray America wakes
Count on it.
Monster Vote>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He will win HUGELY.
Trump is going to crush the Hildabeast on November 8. People are fed-up with Washington, DC as usual. They see the horrors of Obamacare, unemployment, bad economy, high levels of welfare/EBT, open borders, Islamic terrorism, the attack on our Constitution, families less safe, and on and on and on.
LOL. Anyone who believes the polls showing Hillary leading may want to take an ear in each hand and pull, for starters. If they do and wipe the crap outa their eyes they can see the “polls” are as full of crap as they are.
The latest WSJ was closer to D +24.
Really where do you folks get this info? D+24? Lol. Why not D+40?
It was D+7 of D+9, depending how you classify the soft D and R support
Those type of electronic voting machines are no longer used.
Personally I think the Hillary campaign and her liberal media enablers are overdoing it with the “Hillary has the race in the bag. It’s over. narrative.” There is virtually no enthusiasm on her side as it is, if the democrat base thinks the race is over, they may just not bother voting like they would if they thought the race was a tie. However every Trump supporters I know is marking the days on the calendar like counting down until Christmas for a chance to cast a vote for Trump (and against Hillary) and the polls mean nothing to them.
The libtards can’t claim a victory for Hillary by fraud in the Soros states. If trump wins by ten to fifteen every where else it will be pretty obvious what happened. CW II starts. Hillary ends up on meat hook. Not gonna happen, IMHO. Fraud only works when it is close. Sure, Venezuela and Sadaam’s Iraq are out there but those folks had quit trying by then. Americans ain’t gonna sit still for obvious fraud at this juncture.
