The Polls Aren’t Skewed: Trump Really Is Losing Badly

Not because people like Hillary, but because Trump makes them uneasy. I think a majority of people prefer most of Trumps policies.

So the People's Republic of China puts its own national interests first and foremost?

Gosh. Why would a country do that?

Apparently, international socialists, i.e., communists, are really just national socialists when it comes right down to it.

Something we'll see from our own globalist socialists if they gain enough power to in elections.

"Socialism update: Bernie buys $600,000 vacation home"

Forget Arab rulers treating the young as a threat. When Bernie finally conceded and then exhorted his idealistic young followers to fall in behind you-know-who, the frustration, disappointment and anger of those followers was palpable.

Storing up trouble.

Thanks for posting that "letter to my daughter". I like that Ben Sledge a lot and plan to show that column to my dating age son.

You may think it harsh, but they should have been fired and the DOJ head dismissed with prejudice.

Sometime between the early 60's and the late 70's a black mafia came into life. I have no doubt that at one time the NAACP was an organization to be proud of but like most/all black organizations is succumbed to the black mafia. That is what destroyed Detroit has almost completely destroyed Chicago and is intent on destroying Baltimore and New Orleans. The NAACP went over to the dark side in the 70's (no pun intended). I don't think it can come back, it is owned lock stock and barrel by the criminal black mafia. It will soon call for killing white cops.

1) Trump is not 'losing badly.' It's only August. People don't pay attention until the fall. The walmart moms focus group said as much. Calm down.

2) New poll out today shows them 4 points apart. So what are we supposed to believe with polls swinging wildly from week to week? I don't trust much of what the polls are telling me when I see stuff like that.

3) Have a source on Twitter that I follow who is very plugged into the Trump campaign. Knows a staffer in Ohio who said that Bernie supporters are switching parties by the thousands and internal polling in OH shows Trump up somewhere between 5-7 points.

4) I watched the whole of Trump's rally in NC when he made the 2nd amendment comment. It was a nothingburger. Doesn't matter what Trump says, the press will pull out one word or one phrase to choke him. They don't do the same for Hillary. Not much he can do about it. Just keep pushing forward. His rallies attracted thousands. He's doing fine.

re Not because people like Hillary, but because Trump makes them uneasy.

I would suggest that voters might be uneasy about Trump because they are told to feel that way every single day by the media.

They are doing their utmost to cast the Trump is 'dangerous', 'racist', 'homophobe', 'xenophobe' image in concrete by October.

They may well succeed.

I've begun to dig into the data put out by these polls. For example, today a touted Bloomberg poll says Hillary is up 50 over Trump at 42. Problem is that's a big old lie. In a 4-way race, which this will be. They are only TWO points apart. They added in 2 points of 'leaners' to that part of it, so it made it look like Hillary is at 44 and Trump is at 40 in the 4-way race.

Then, they have the June data right below that which shows Hillary has lost 6 points since June.

Trust me, these polls are ridiculous. How can one poll show 15 points, one show 2 points apart? Makes ZERO sense.

Well, I hope you are right Missy, but I recall battleground states moving into Romney's column in 2012 when . . . SURPRISE! . . . they went to 0bama on election day.

You have to figure in the fraud.

'Rigged?' 5 Ways the Election Is Under Attack

We'll see in October. These polling people don't want to be wrong. Certainly they don't want to be wrong by 10 or more points. A few is fine. If you look at the final Romney polls, they were still within the margin of error.

Ohio polling had Obama winning in October. Got tighter near the end, but he pulled it off.

Pennsylvania had Obama winning in October.

Virginia mostly had Obama winning in October. Was a close one.

So I am not sure what polls you are referring to that showed Romney winning.

General election polling was tight all the way through October. In fact, if you look back at all the general election polling from the summer through fall, it showed it super close all the way through.

There were no wild swings from Trump up 6 to Clinton up 15. Nothing weird like that. Now we are seeing more polling data that shows it close again...within a few points. How is that possible? Something bizarre is going on.

Every day? Try every half hour. That is the cycle on the am stations that I listen to throughout the day. Every half an hour is a news break. Every half hour, they tell you how bad Trump is. Crickets about Hillary's scandals. These are stations that broadcast Hewitt, Rush, Pragger and local conservative leaning hosts. I can only imagine what it is like on progressive stations.

One of the major planks in the goals of the Black Live Matter movement is to abolish charter schools.

Apparently, Black lives only matter when they are on the Dem/Prog plantation. Providing a Black child with an actual education is as popular with Dem/Progs as it was in the antebellum South.

So the last 2 Drudge headlines have been that the murdered DNC staffer was the Wikileaks source, and that the Justice Department blocked investigation of the Clinton Foundation.

What is the news reporting? That Trump is going to block all Filipinos from coming to the U.S. (which of course he never said).

Are the polls rigged? Yes, of course they are rigged. But even there, the latest polls show Trump within 4 points of Hillary, and a number of polls show him leading among likely voters.

I am more worried about widespread voter fraud on election day.

" treating the young as a threat, Arab rulers are stoking the next revolt"

They're sending them off to Europe after giving them military training and a solid understanding of how a proper muslim should behave in an infidel country under invasion.
THAT's where their anger gets released, as we've been seeing for the last year or so with ever increasing frequency.

I'm fully expecting the armouries in the mosques and "refugee centers" to be thrown open in the not too distant future for the violent completion of the islamisation of Europe and the establishment of the khaliphate from the shores of the Atlantic to the shores of the Indian ocean.

Trump is losing because he doesn't really want to be President.
