What is the driving force?

1) People are listening to what he says and what she doesn't say
2) What he said as opposed to what she did
3) People know that Trump will appoint a new FBI Director and a new head of the DOJ, and Hillary spends quality time in jail.

Those polls have been very Trump tilted since the beginning. If the others tick down it would be noteworthy but they haven't. Rasmussen had 2012 about as wrong as possible too...

Three out of four pipsqueek polls on one day. Clinton leads in all five polls on Oct. 19 and all four polls on Oct 18. Clinton has big leads in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, Virginia, Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and California. She also leads in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, Iowa, Arizona and Hawaii. By the time the election rolls around she may pick up a few more.

Only the tin foil hat brigade-of which you are a charter member-thinks Trump will win this election.

More good news for you. Nate Silver and fivethirtyeight.com give the Democrats a 71% chance of taking the Senate.

You should bet everything you can on Trump based on these polls and make some money.

It's hilarious when one of the "rotten poll" brigade decides to cherry pick.

Nothing at all wrong with any of the ones cited, by the way. They are legitimate operations and should be blended in with other polls to get an average.

RCP 4 way has Clinton +5.8. Wrap a margin of error of 3.5 around that and she's leading by anywhere from 2.3-9.3 percent.

I expect Trump will underperform his polls with basically no GOTV effort.

Trump's incredible shrinking map

Six of the 11 battleground states are now in Hillary Clinton's pocket.

By Steven Shepard and Charlie Mahtesian
10/21/16 05:01 AM EDT

....In June, POLITICO identified 11 key battleground states — totaling 146 electoral votes — that would effectively decide the presidential election in November. A new examination of polling data and strategic campaign ad buys indicates that six of those 11 are now comfortably in Hillary Clinton’s column.

Clinton leads Donald Trump by 5 points or greater in POLITICO’s Battleground States polling average in Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. If the Democratic nominee won those six states, plus all the other reliably Democratic states President Barack Obama captured in both 2008 and 2012, she would eclipse the 270-electoral-vote threshold and win the presidency.

Even if Trump ran the table in the remaining battleground states — Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio — he would fall short of the White House if he cannot flip another state where Clinton currently leads in
the polls.

Hillary typically makes one public appearance and then goes back into intensive care for a few days, a week. This week, she made back-to-back appearances, so people have had a good opportunity to listen to her.

What else would you expect but a tank in the polls? He strategy has been to not talk. To bait Trump and release stories full of lies to divert attention from the issues. This week, the issues were talked about. She cannot compete with Trump n the issues.

Both Major Parties have broken trust with the American electorate in presenting them as picks.

I don't disagree at all with your first point. I think against many other potential Republican nominees, the second most unpopular nominee in history (behind Trump) would be losing.

I know that you supported Trump and appear to be thoughtful. But many of his supporters appear to have only two settings. He's winning big/We got cheated or He's winning big/The voters are stupid.

No one who holds those limited views will ever actually examine the idea that the candidate was the issue. Despite the ample evidence or the fact that a lot of people have been pointing them out for a long time BEFORE he was the nominee.

All the chickens coming home to roost in the last weeks of the election ARE the result of stupidity. Just not the voter's.

Trumps flaw is that he doesn't kowtow to special interests he's not a bought and paid for stooge, maybe you can see it in your heart to overlook his 'rude' tone sometimes and in return finally get a candidate not beholden to 'donors'?

I supported Trump as he was the only candidate offering fresh new ideas for the Economy, Jobs, National Security, Infrastructure, the Military, Vets, and so on.
Over time flaws started appearing. Enough of them showed that I couldn't in good conscience continue to support him.
Over 3 debates, it also became clear that Trump is a poor listener.
There were several occasions, that if he were truly listening to what Clinton was saying, he could have ripped her arguments to shreds.
I was particularly disappointed that he let her off the hook on Pay for Pay while she was Secretary of State. He brought the mother of one of the soldiers killed at Benghazi to the last debate and didn't highlight her lying.
Also, I have serious suspicions as to why she has had to have stand-ins on over 100 occasions this past summer. Her health has to be a question mark.

Trump poorly prosecuted the case against Hillary Clinton.
As I see it, GOP failed the American electorate for not properly vetting Trump's playboy days. The 16 other Republican candidates in the Primary also failed to do their homework in vetting him.
The truth is neither Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump are suitable for the Presidency.

The problem with these liberals is that they tend to get the view it's there way or no way. the reason why this country is the greatest on earth is that we come together and respect each others differences and tolerate them for the goal of being one, America.

In my opinion to vote for Hillary and her open borders policy is sheer lunacy. How could any American citizen want to be placed in a dangerous situation where harm will come to family, friends and other Americans???? This one issue is basic common sense, we need to put the protection of fellow Americans first.

Obama was relatively young, and a part time president from the get-go. Look at how much he has aged in office.

The problem is that he was chosen by about half the people, assuming that establishment Republicans are people too. :p

The GOP is divided into the establishment (GOPe) and the Trump believers (alt-right). A lot of the GOPe folks will hold their noses and vote for him, but not all will because they think that he is wrong on the issues or that he is too nuts to get elected or to govern.

Peggy Noonan gets it in her WSJ article:

Mr. Trump’s great historical role was to reveal to the Republican Party what half of its own base really thinks about the big issues. The party’s leaders didn’t know! They were shocked, so much that they indulged in sheer denial and made believe it wasn’t happening.

The party’s leaders accept more or less open borders and like big trade deals. Half the base does not! It is longtime GOP doctrine to cut entitlement spending. Half the base doesn’t want to, not right now!

The problem is that neither GOP faction takes the other seriously, and neither the party leadership nor Trump have taken any steps to resolve the conflict.

some actually thought nafta would severely slow illegal imigration from Mexico and other countries south of the border. Fools.

I keep hearing this as if everyone is supposed to believe it to be true. Since 1980 I've worked with college educated men and women coming in from just about every state in the union. About 80% vote conservative. Maybe more than 80%

Could be because that most of my coworkers have an Engineering background... But not all.

In fact, most college educated people in my neighborhood, are conservative. Only two (out of about 25 with degrees) I know are democrats. In my business, I deal with sales people daily. Almost all are conservative, most have degrees.

The nonsense of college educated voters lean heavily towards (name your dem candidate, here) just isn't believable given personal experience.

44.9% of those who voted in Republican primaries.

Clinton received 55% of votes in Democratic primaries.

The problem isn't that he appealed to a minority within a minority party. The problem is that, other than a brief period after the convention, he made no effort to expand his message beyond that base.

I understand that you like his message. I'm befuddled by your lack of understanding that he made so little effort to appeal to anyone else and THAT is why he will lose. BIGGLY.

In fact, most college educated people in my neighborhood, are conservative. Only two (out of about 25 with degrees) I know are democrats. In my business, I deal with sales people daily. Almost all are conservative, most have degrees.

The nonsense of college educated voters lean heavily towards (name your dem candidate, here) just isn't believable given personal experience.

This is entirely understandable because it's a new phenomenon.

College educated voters have voted at a higher rate for Republicans than Democrats for my entire life. Until now.

Maybe so, but I honestly cannot think of many college educated people over the age of 35 that will vote for Hillary. I'm sure the under 35 group lean blue, but to this day I just don't see the reality of polls / hcap's post when it comes to college educated voters leanings.

Also, didn't we hear the same things four years ago? Eight years ago? Just my experience, but the less educated the voter, the more chance of that individual voting democrat.

Not being argumentative, just talking from experience.

44.9% of those who voted in Republican primaries.

Clinton received 55% of votes in Democratic primaries.

C'mon, Unknown Poster.

Lottsa horse players here. We all know that taking 45% of the money in a 17 horse field is light years more impressive than taking 55% of the dough in a match race.....

"Lies, damn lies, & statistics."

Leftists love to use tricky stats like that. My favorite is "there are more white people on welfare than blacks."

Yeah, there are. And that's because whites are 10 times the population of blacks.

For people that are supposed to be so dumb, patriots can figure out your bogus "proof" rather easily....

You make a reasonably good point about something I never tried to argue.

I'll ask that you read my response to Tom in the context of what it was written to address. And quote the entire post if you want to criticize it.

I'm not trying to confuse anyone with numbers. He suggested "the people" chose Trump. I said that a minority within a minority party chose him and he has done nothing to expand that base.

If you want to address that argument, I'll be happy to respond.

But you are just another in a long line here labeling me as a leftist and to be honest, I don't have the time or inclination to address everyone too lazy for subtle opinions.

Live in the black and white world. It's not my problem.

I don't need to quote the entire post because what followed your premise, i.e the error in representation of the percentages, rendered the remainder moot.

As far as labeling you a leftist, I didn't do that.

But if you employ the tactics of the left, I can understand why people have that impression of you.

I would not call college student as being particularly bright.
A liberal arts major is not really one who know shit about the real world.
Go to campuses where they teach substance, not BS and you will find better idiots. The protocol for campuses is to shout down and deny any opposite points of view from being heard.

So I can see why college kids are following Hillary - just the rest of the idiots follow here.

Seriously, how can anyone with a half of brain buy the BS the democrats are shovelling?

You have been out of school too long. The young scholars of today are exploring new vast frontiers of knowledge. Like the discovery that there are over 30 different genders, each with its own set of pronouns. And the finding that discrimination and segregation are good things, as long as they are directed at those who have profited for too long from their white privilege. Or critical social concepts like safe spaces and trigger warnings that let us all live happily ever after. It's a brave new world out there.

It pains me to see people enthusiastically back a candidate who was never on track to win and conclude the problem is with the voters and not the candidate.

It's a never ending cycle for losers who don't ever want to examinine their own flawed assumptions.

You've also disagreed when I suggested that these polls are biased, overweighting the metrics to favor a Hillary outcome (actually to show a large for-Hillary result), such as small number of people polled; a party affiliation bias such as countless more Democrats polled than those saying they are Republican, etc.

It is you that never fails to denigrate those that might even suggest these polls aren't real accurate and truly biased. And, it is you that have often called those supporting Trump as stupid, uneducated, etc., and NOT for the reason you posted earlier, for which I quote above.

Now we have others basically proving the polling process to be a lie, or maybe even rigged to use a more current term.

And this comes from a very good source, too: John Podesta, plus others in his evil cabal working for the deceitful, loathsome, anti-America, Hillary! It's a good read and not surprising, especially to those that have witnessed how the left always works to undermine democracy and good-government.

There is only one poll that matters, the one on Nov. 8. The rest of them mean no more than touts at the track with hot tips and insider information. Until then, it is all just idle speculation.
