Following the second presidential debate and controversies surrounding both campaigns, Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump has expanded to nine points now nationally. Forty-seven percent of likely voters support or lean towards Clinton, while 38 percent support Trump. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets 8 percent of likely voters, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein receives 3 percent of the vote. Two weeks ago, Clinton’s lead was four points.

I looked at that chart. One can’t tell how many democrats were polled vs Republicans. If you look at how the men voted: 40% Clinton vs 42% Trump it appears they must have sampled a lot of Democrats.

What internals? These are cross tabs, aren’t they? What is the D/R/I break down and how many of the sample voted for Hussein v. Romney in the last election?

That NBC poll was garbage.

True, but never underestimate the people that will vote history because they hate Trump, and wish to spite him. Such people do not need to show enthusiasm for the candidate, they just vote for that candidate because they loathe the other one. I do think something is wrong with some of the polls.

Don’t shortchange her lead. Soon in these polls she will be up by 50 points. It’s amazing she even does better amongst white men then her husband. I believe most men wish they had a wife like her according to these polls. Screw the leftist media why even report on there crap.

True, but there are many here who play into the anti-Trump propagandists’ hands. I guarantee you will not find Hillary-supporter-depressing posts on sites like DU and HuffPo. Only certain conservatives seem compelled to aid in the MSM war against their own candidate.

This is what I posted earlier, on another thread:

Why do you post this propaganda? There are pro Trump sites that don’t allow this kind of garbage. Are you attempting to drive people to those sites?

Hillary will win by the greatest landslide in history. Probably even leading with Men. Funny I know plenty of men who supported Obama but are voting Trump,yet these polls have her running even among Men. Bs her rallies don’t have one single Man at them. Pure garbage.

32% Republicans
36% Democrats
31% Independents

When I post a poll I can count on my two personal Trolls to drag themselves out and fantasize about me.

It’s only D+4 but they must have hidden Dem voters in with Independents. Hillary has never led Independents but shes up 6 here?

But the lead is “only” 9 points. Not good for her.

We're surrounded by political frauds. I said this years ago. And the individual who put up this thread is one of them.

Thanks for adding to my election year depression.

These polls will become self fulfilling prophecies.
