New Polls: Trump Gaining in Pennsylvania, Ahead in Florida and Ohio

Why is Republican nominee Donald Trump leading in two battleground states and nearly tied in another with less than two weeks before the election? Experts, analysts, and Washington, D.C. insiders lectured the American people on how this was not supposed to happen.

According to a new poll, Trump maintains a healthy lead in Ohio over Hillary Clinton, 46 to 42 percentage points and in a Bloomberg Politics poll of Florida, Trump leads Clinton 45 to 43. In Pennsylvania, Trump continues to dwindle Clinton's lead where he is now within three points of the Democratic nominee.

Florida and Ohio are must wins for the Trump campaign, and combined with a win in Pennsylvania, Trump would more than likely be the next President of the United States.

In the most accurate poll of 2012, Trump is basically tied with Clinton nationally.

According to FiveThirtyEight, the Investor’s Business Daily/TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence poll predicted the correct outcome of that election, exposing Obama's dramatically underestimated performance and the falsehood of Romney's estimated clear victory.

At a rally in Tallahassee on Tuesday night, Trump made clear his intentions in the Sunshine State. “In 14 days we are going to win the state of Florida and we are going to win back the White House,” he declared.

I agree I think Trump will carry Virginia. If your fellow SW Va’ers turn out in numbers like I think they will do, Trump carries Va. Blacks are not going to turn out in the same record numbers for Hellary like they did for Zero in 2008 & 2012. There is no enthusiasm for Hellary, in my NoVa neighborhood there are very few political signs. Those few you see break even for Hellary & Trump. Also Trump is a known “commodity” and can't be successfully painted as a radical evangelical. One who would baptize the average metrosexual NoVa-ian in his/her sleep like past GOP president/gubernatorial candidates were painted. (The ludicrous statements I used to hear these people make about past GOP candidates!)

There is nothing Wiki-Leaks or O’Keefe can release at this point that will change the minds of people with the exception of audio or video of racist comments, which would depress black turnout or bump Trumps black numbers. Even racist email won’t cut it. Everyone on both sides and independent all know that Hillary is as dirty as you can get. They all know Trump is crude but offers change.

I lived in VA from 1979 to 2015. I was active in GOP county politics. I served as a poll watcher and election officer over many years. I watched VA go from a solid red state to now a solid blue state in statewide elections. NoVA is why. It started when Kerry won Fairfax County in 2004, the first time a Dem did that in 40 years. Demographics have changed the state. One third of Fairfax County, the largest county in the state, is foreign born. VA is becoming like CA.

I am on for a wager, a wager I would be happy to lose. Last election, I had a similar wager but the FReeper never paid up. $100 it is.

sorry , but VA has gone now forever, unless the government building get moved to DE, MD , or even more north.
Dems get in power they open more government buildings like the new , massive one in UT, close down military bases which is a base of republican support, and then bring in more immigrants to swing states and then make them vote.

Clinton gets in you can say good bye to NC, AZ, NM, FL, NC, , and even more smaller states like MT, ND, SD, , WY , because of immigrants from third world countries.

Trump is gonna win FL, NC, OH, PA and VA.

And it ain’t gonna be close.

Virginia? Pennsylvania? Wishful thinking?

I wish I had as much faith as you do in Trump winning those 2 states...

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

Voter fraud is very real and very big in battleground states.

Face it folks, Cheating is universal for democrats.

They cheat in democrat strongholds, just because they can or to influence state and local elections.

In the heart of New York City, bus holds of minorities are moved from poll to poll to ensure one rat over another’s win.

One of the city election commissioners is on tape discussing this. Poor Al, has probably lost his job now.

No, they did not include the voters in the cemetery or the mausoleum in that poll.

LOL

Obama won VA over loser Romney with no movement with just alittle over 116,000 votes!

TRUMP with his massive movement can’t win over around 70,000 voters over Hillary??

SS to Soros & bho for questioning on their evil intentions.

I was polled earlier tonight on the house landline by Quinnepac. So yes it does happen. (I’m in PA.)

Pretty basic stuff, no questions about policy or how well anybody is doing, just who are you going to vote for, what’s your party, do you follow politics, do you vote, will you vote, and a couple of demographic questions.

Let’s cover this again. ABC is not to be trusted. That’s a push poll not to be trusted. Vote Trump/Pence and drag all your neighbors to vote for them too! But don’t lose heart!

ABC polls routinely WAY over sample democrats, as though their enthusiasm for Hillary is more than double their enthusiasm in 2008 and 2012 for Obama.

It’s just left-wing media BS.
