You don’t like the President’s reaction because you credit the polls. If polls were accurate and honest, President Hillary Clinton would be running for reelection right now. Better to trust your own instincts about the state of the race than the polls.
You will find more than one reply by me which sites a potential turning of the polls in Trump's favor. You will note that my understanding of the polls comes from the most reliable source we have, Real Clear Politics average. No good general assumes the best, he is wary of the worst and proceeds to plan.
A review of the thread will also find that I pointed out that Fox just announce Trump up one point in Arizona.
A review of the thread will reveal that I pointed out that the Republican candidate for Senator in Michigan, according to Trafalgar, is doing well even, ahead. You will see that I thought that suggested that Trump was closing in Michigan.
I observed that Trafalgar polls were indicating positive "straws in the wind."
I credit the polls because Real Clear is our best source but I allow for the possibility that the contrary might be the case.
The polls are psyops, nothing more.
