Over-sampled polls designed to demoralize the opposition.

True, but it can also make Hillary’s own followers complacent. And most of Hillary’s supporters are VERY EASY to make complacent.
True. They need to balance that somewhat, but my sense is that if they see it tied or themselves down that it becomes more important to injure the opponent.
Even if DJT were losing by 90 points in the polls, my family will be out there to vote for him.
The RCP average is not particularly reassuring at the moment, but I do take some hope from TIPP and Rasmussen.
“True, but it can also make Hillary’s own followers complacent. And most of Hillary’s supporters are VERY EASY to make complacent.”
I’ve heard this argument rendered to show that the polls are accurate...Why would they show her up so much, etc...but they walk the fine line. They must think they’ll depress Trump voters more than they make Hitlery’s voters complacent. They also know they can tweak the numbers down a bit just before the election, to charge up complacent Dims. Imagine a roomful of dedicated socialist intern kids tweakin’ numbers on a spreadsheet til they get the result they want. Yeah, they are teeakin’ knob and dials hoping they’ve got the right “cheat” settings in place, and they think nothing of it (Machiavellian - no conscience). Pray to God that the people stay true to their convictions in opposing the Clinton crime family (and all the other criminals associated with them.)
That’s it in a nutshell, Gideon. GMTA -—I’ve been saying that for weeks.So, I say, keep promulgating these synthetic numbers about how far ahead HRC is in how many states...they are going to wake up on election day and find a much closer vote and/or a Trump victory.Her entire campaign has been built around demonizing Trump to the exclusion of crowing about ANY of her accomplishments—therefore any “enthusiasm” about her is nothing more than the dutiful kool-aid drinking of her supporters about how bad Trump is, and what he could portend for “the future of America”. That DOES NOT translate into votes for her. A very shaky “enthusiasm” indeed.
