Hillary Clinton holds a decisive advantage over Donald Trump in the competition for votes in the electoral college, leading in enough states to put her comfortably over the 270 majority needed to win the presidential election in November, according to a new SurveyMonkey poll of 15 battleground states conducted with The Washington Post.

Agreed.

As a native Georgian, the 4 point lead by Hillary is ludicrous. This poll is an outlier.

Isn’t there roughly 40% early voting? Polls can’t be scientific, I don’t know anyone who’s been contacted, including myself!

LOL. One comment here and there. Meanwhile, you are insulting your fellow FReepers right and left. Are you going blame CTR for your potty mouth too? Grow up “grey whiskers”.

It could be plausible if he’s losing Bible Belt voters from the more religious states. Could be a puritanical obsession with sex scandals as being the greatest sins of all time. However those voters are so reliable for the GOP, I’d have to believe there’s hope to get them back. Trump may need to make more of an appeal to that group than he has been, highlight the kind of SCOTUS Hillary wants and what the court’s already done on abortion and marriage and religious freedom.

“At this point in 1980 Carter was up over Reagan by 9.”
______________________________________________________

I was a young man then, but I remember that “poll” at the time.

The night before the election, the media said it was “too close to call.”

The next day, they called the race for Reagan at 3:00 PM Pacific time, and Reagan won 44 states.

Oh my stars, KILLARY'S GONNA WIN!

Wait, wait. Go read this very excellent article on polls and why polls are not always correct.

I point out defeat-bots and Cruz-bots, and the occasional lib who hasn't learned how to imitate the mantras well enough.

I'll get you some nice soft chamois cloth for that butt-hurt of yours.

I propose we just ignore WaPo and NYT, their coverage has gone absurdist and shouldn’t be dignified by treating it as relevant.

The NY SLIMES and The Bezos WeHateTrump newsletter ( Compost) have gone off the deep end along with CNN and NBC ..

But when the NY Slimes actually personally attacked a 19 year Illinois black kid for supporting Trump and supposedly skewing the LA Times poll so Trump was ahead , just how radicalized and full blown deranged the Clinton media machine was unmasked .

It's showed how phony and orchestrated these Globalist media monster push Polls are and the fact the Slimes was enraged that one of there

Fellow phony mega media push polls showed Trump ahead .

That kid screwed up the Orchestrated Media Push poll Psych ops that Trump was over and start a stampede of voters to leave him.

Surreal .

Survey Monkey was started by Google’s Sheryl Sandberg’s late husband (who died a mysterious death in Mexico— hit his head on treadmill at gym. Sandberg is a an advisor to HRC and all in with her. These people are using bogus polls to shift opinion. Standard tactics by politically-based polling.

Not the direction but the margin that makes me question it considering the results for the other three states. Most polls show trump up in GA.

So let me get this straight. The Post says that Clinton has a big lead in certain battleground states. Yet a few days ago we had this:

Washington Post/ABC News Poll: Statistical Tie in Presidential Race

So, which is it Post? It is either one or the other. You can't have both.
