Trump 44.8 and Clinton 43.7. Spread is 1.1. Wonder if Hillary leads by 20% on NBC/WSJ poll today?
This comes even after they made some Hillary friendly revisions to their methodology last week. It would appear the smear Trump strategy has largely run its course and failed.
Tomorrow a bad day drops off so Trump will increase on that. Later this week we have the weird Wikileaks developments, James O’Keefe, Drudge, and the debate. Hold on.
It does bother me that this poll is such an outlier. It is a positive that Hillary can’t get above the mid 40’s in any poll. Everybody knows her so those that have not yet committed likely will not. Pray Donald has a good debate.
NOTE: Language edited to enable a "PG" rating (photo still makes it "PG").
They popped this "surprise" too early to permanently damage the trajectory. And another "unexpectedly" bad jobs report is focusing minds, no matter how much the media tries to yell, "Look! There's a squirrel!" with false groping allegations.
People who were on the fence got pushed over into Trump’s side by the barrage of super coordinated sexual claims.
It was ludicrously handled by the left and so maliciously timed that few believed the claims.
In short, the ham-handed media thrust just made people mad at the Clinton camp.
You may be right. The whole coordinated attack method within the media smacks of terrorist methods—bombs going off all at once or in quick succession.
People notice.
The media and Hildy are one in the same.
There was another article about what happens when people become immune to your tactics
I believe this has happened with the media and with the polling companies
Be careful;) Hildy is a FReeper!!!
Trump is a normal person with normal faults - Hillary is pure evil.
We have our Hildy who we love. I am mentioning the beast.
Same thing with all the GOP-e defections; they all came out too quickly at the same time and the press releases were all the same script. It was clearly a planned coup attempt.
As for the timing, I think it had more to do with the start of early voting than the Wikileaks revelations. The Clinton camp knew the MSM would ignore Wikileaks. They are more concerned about the early voters, who are more likely to be Trump voters because of the enthusiasm gap. They know it’s going to be a close election and they need to stop every Trump vote they can. Early votes can’t be changed once cast, so they had to drop the bomb right at the start of the voting period.
I agree. I think the only thing they have left in their playbook is voter fraud. The tape was clearly their October surprise and they pinned all their hopes on it.
