You can make the numbers say what you want most anytime. These early polls don't really matter as things will change after the debates. The only true poll is where every voter is asked how they are going to vote. That poll takes place Nov 8. 

Karras --- 8 years ago -

But polls do change perception and shape opinions. So Hillary backers will push the worst Trump poll. Polls that have over sampled democrats, to help push the narrative and try to get Trump supporters down.

A good poll is the USC/LA Times daybreak poll. This one has Hillary up by 1 point.

What is surprising is that with how popular Hillary is, no one goes to her rally's. Either their is no excitement for Hillary or her handlers do not want anything out of the ordinary to happen at the rally that might startle her (see the balloon attack at the convention) that they limit the crowds to just enough to fill the camera lens. 

Jeff11233 --- 8 years ago -

Nicely said. What I don't understand is if 70% (according to the polls) don't like the way the country is heading why is HRC getting supported. She is just status quo and will just continue the present policies of Obama. Could it be that this poll wasn't stacked like the ones that show HRC in the lead seem to be?

Like the old saying goes Statistics don't lie, but statisticians do.

Belief in polls is directly connected to which side you're on... 

Jeff11233 --- 8 years ago -

Yea...and the Brexit poll was right, too!! LMAO 

Dorothy Parker --- 8 years ago -

The polls we're never questioned when Trump had favor. What gives? 

Butterbean --- 8 years ago -

There is a lot of money available for polls in today's election arena. Over time, they show trends.

According to somebody with authority, the present Democratic lead is a whopping trend.

As a man in the street observer, I look at them as current information.

The shorter the campaign time available, the more importance will be attached, to show campaigns where the money might be well spent.

The ultimate poll is the ballot box. At this point, I believe Hillary will win by a very large margin. 

mutton --- 8 years ago -

I get calls to participate in polls all the time. I usually hang up. So does that count? 

Zapper009 --- 8 years ago -

If they are done by an independent source, like Faus...lol 

mutton --- 8 years ago -

Lol 

SagaciousSighFiGurl (Mod) --- 8 years ago -

Polling can easily be "directed" at and for a certain demographic to get a certain desired result. However that doesn't mean there aren't any that are quite accurate. There are some and they tend to not be partisan based or slanted. Like we know MSNBC 's will favor Hillary just like FOX news will favor Trump.

Thank dog we have SSFG here to splain it all to us. 

magicmom --- 8 years ago -

Just curios? Has anyone on here taken part in a "Poll" ? 

Judas --- 8 years ago -

Earlier this week, dozens of Republicans ? including three former Cabinet secretaries and six current or former members of Congress ? endorsed Clinton, ditching their party this election in order to prevent Trump from gaining the White House. The group of Republicans and independents backing Clinton is called ?Together for America,? and according to a Clinton aide some of them will appear at Clinton events, vouch for her in the media and directly contact conservative voters to try to persuade them to back Clinton, too.

Among the group are five Latinos, including Carlos Gutierrez, the U.S. secretary of commerce under President George W. Bush and one of the highest-ranking Latino office holders ever.

?I support Hillary Clinton because she has the steady temperament and the experience to serve as president,? Gutierrez said in a statement. ?She has shown her commitment to strengthening U.S.-Cuba relations, immigration reform, and America?s role in today?s competitive global economy.? 

Emperor of Kingwood --- 8 years ago -

Yes i do believe in polls, they do exist. There are tent polls, fishing polls even poll dancers. 

mutton --- 8 years ago -

I did years ago magic mom...why I now think all are mostly bs, lol.

Thank God we have you to copy and paste and be your hateful self. ;)

and this


The polls we're never questioned when Trump had favor.

You never complain when polls show Trump is leading. In fact, you say that is representative of what Americans want.

But, when the polls favor Hillary, you suddenly cry foul.

America isn't as stupid as you want them to be. Only ignorant people want Trump as a world leader. Smart people will ensure that doesn't happen. 

Jeff11233 --- 8 years ago -

Thank God we have you to copy and paste and be your hateful self. ;)?

Yep and this is why Trump will win. The elite don't like him. What's new? He's going to upset the status quo and shake everything up. The gov't need to clean itself up and Trump will do it. All HRC will do is add to the problem. 

Jeff11233 --- 8 years ago -

America isn't as stupid as you want them to be. Only ignorant people want Trump as a world leader. Smart people will ensure that doesn't happen.?

So they want a proven liar, a proven person with bad judgement and someone who can be bought? How smart can they be? 

fuzz81 --- 8 years ago -

He's going to upset the status quo and shake everything up

Are you being sarcastic? Or maybe not too sarcastic? Obviously you are being sarcastic. Many people say not too sarcastic though, believe me. 

Butterbean --- 8 years ago -

Yes, that already happened.

You'r going to LOVE her second term. 

Dorothy Parker --- 8 years ago -

Unless Hillary does something incredibly stupid between now and November that could cause Trump to look like a viable option, he doesn't have a chance. And even then, he really doesn't have a chance...lol. 

Jeff11233 --- 8 years ago -

Wait to "pay for play" hits. 

fuzz81 --- 8 years ago -

Wait for trumps tax returns. Hillary already released hers. 

Holling Vincoeur --- 8 years ago -

Yep and this is why Trump will win.

Even Trump doesn't think he'll win... 

DatBoyHooD --- 8 years ago -

When hillary releases her transcripts, trump will release his tax returns 

Holling Vincoeur --- 8 years ago -

I don't know much about that, is there some precedent that dictates she release some kind of transcripts? 

fuzz81 --- 8 years ago -

Assange has now stated they're working on getting trumps tax returns lol

This election cycle should just be nullified, and Obama should get 8 more years. 

fuzz81 --- 8 years ago -

Although it will be funny to watch the trumpettes cry when trump leaks occur. They only support that activity if it's anti Hillary lol 

AwesomeTattooedDragon --- 8 years ago -

I don't think Trump wants to win. He seems to be trying very hard to bury himself- 

Butterbean --- 8 years ago -

He seems to be trying very hard to bury himself-?

Maybe it's an unconscious self sabotage thingy.

Or at least unconscious. 

a889324uu --- 8 years ago -

So they want a proven liar, a proven person with bad judgement and someone who can be bought? How smart can they be?

You are describing Trump here.

He's a proven liar. He's proven to have bad judgement. And he's someone who can, and has been bought.

Your fear and paranoia just won't allow you to see that. 

Jeff11233 --- 8 years ago -

It was the FBI that proved those things about Hillary. It was the media that said those things about Trump. Big difference! 

Holling Vincoeur --- 8 years ago -

It was the FBI that proved those things about Hillary


And the DOJ told them to kiss her azz....lol 

Holling Vincoeur --- 8 years ago -

Jeff11233 --- 8 years ago -

That's right....Obama is protecting her. I guess she is above the law. 

Holling Vincoeur --- 8 years ago -

Pretty much, not really worth bamging your head against a wall over it...but whatever floats your boat.
