Discussion: Clinton Now Tied With Trump In New National Poll, Losing 6 Point Lead

Hillary is a disaster, outspending Trump nationwide by tens of millions and still flailing like a headless chicken.

Of course Trump is doing better. He gets virtually all the media attention.

Hillary up by 13 nationally in a poll(Reuters) released this past Tuesday but tied in this one. Something doesn’t jive.

Clinton has obviously taken a hit from the FBI report, and Trump’s numbers may have been boosted a bit by the police killings - I’m not sure I’ve seen him at 40% before.

But: the Democrats are still at an early stage of uniting, given that the Sanders endorsement happened just a few days ago; Republicans are much further along in that process. I think that’s part of the explanation for all the undecideds. I still take a lot of comfort from the Pew polls that show her leading among every voting bloc except non-college educated white men: that tells me that the undecideds are far more likely to break to Clinton than to Cheeto Jesus.

And it’s still the middle of July. If they’re tied in October, then I’ll think about contacting Canadian immigration.

Click bait…click bait! MSM click bait! And…Just about as important as the ‘unskewed’ QStar poll in late Oct. 2012:

The Reuters Poll is a clear outlier, they’ve been pumping out ridiculous polls for a while now! No other poll agrees with the Reuters polls, in addition to that Ipsos, their polling partner totally got Brexit wrong.

Comparing some unknown poll to the respected NYT poll are we now? Desperation!

No, the GOP has been spending plenty on attacking Hillary. It’s just out of your wallet and at the expense of other governmental functions getting taken care of.

All the unskewed FOX Noise polls left poor Mittens sooo’ dejected and Ann ‘The Egg’ Romney crying softly and poor Architect Rover sitting in the corner for weeks after the election waiting for Ohio to “…come in big” for Willard. Call me after the conventions and the debates about polls and we’ll talk. This only gives beej and other POS trolls a little click bait.

Well it’s amazing how well Hillary is doing considering she is behind bars. You were absolutely right on that prediction too…

Oh wait.

Brace yourselves for the possibility that he’ll take a lead after the GOP convention. Conventions typically give a few points bump. Of course, this may not be the typical GOP convention, but who knows.

I still don’t see how these poll numbers can be accurate when Clinton is outperforming Obama in 2012 in almost every demographic, some by almost unbelievable amounts, but you can’t just claim that the CBS/Wallstreet poll is a joke. Unlike Q-poll (which has been overestimating the whiteness of the electorate pretty substantially this year), their data is legit.

Need to keep the horse race meme going to gin up public interest and entice viewers to tune in. The notion that Trump is tied with or leading Clinton is preposterous given the demographic makeup of the electorate. Not buying it at all.

After all the millions she spent on ads against Trump, just like Jeb, it’s not working, oh the humanity!

Blah, blah, blah. Fivethirtyeight (http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/): chance of winning presidency: Clinton 70.8%, Trump 29.2%. What is it about that 40% lead we’re not supposed to like?

Email-gate was supposed to be the big bombshell when the Benghazi fishing expedition turned up nothing. Despite no indictment, once the talking heads have pretended this was somehow a big bombshell, this past week may very well be the worst Hillary has in terms of optics going into November. So, Donald Trump managed to…

“YAY TIED HER IN ONE POLL! Watch out libtards you’re soooooo desperate! Wrap it up you’ve lost!”

The trolls should be looked at as comedy at this point.
