    Poll: Clinton's Lead Over Trump Narrows to Less Than 3 Points

    Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's lead over Republican rival Donald Trump narrowed to less than 3 percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday, down from nearly eight points on Monday.

    About 42 percent of likely voters favored Clinton, to Trump's 39 percent, according to the July 31-Aug. 4 online poll of 1,154 likely voters. The poll had a credibility interval of plus or minus 3 percentage points, meaning that the results suggest the race is roughly even.

    Poll finds Clinton has widened lead ahead of Trump to 8 points

    Harvard Republican Club Refuses to Endorse Donald Trump

    Dear Members and Alumni,

    In every presidential election since 1888, the members and Executive Board of the Harvard Republican Club have gathered to discuss, debate, and eventually endorse the standard-bearer of our party.

    But for the first time in 128 years, we, the oldest College Republicans chapter in the nation, will not be endorsing the Republican nominee.

    https://medium.com/next-right/harvar...b21#.xvgrbcu66

    of course, they are college educated.

    white uneducated males are Trash's main base.

    This poll - do you usually think yourself as:
    Democrat 33%
    Republican 23%
    Independent 36%

    Gallup in 2015:
    Democrat 29%
    Republican 26%
    Independent 42%

    43.4% more Dems than Repubs in WP/ABC poll than 11.5% more Dems in the Gallup.

    I did not say 50% more. Here is my math:

    WP/ABC:
    33 - 23 = 10. 10/23 = 43.4% more Democrats than Republicans.

    2015 Gallup:
    29 - 26 = 3. 3/26 = 11.5% more Democrats than Republicans.

    Either your math or your reading comprehension (or both) is off. No need to feel bad for my kids.

    Ex-CIA chief claims Putin is ‘playing’ Trump: He’s ‘manipulated people much smarter than him’

    A former CIA director asserted on Sunday that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is definitely being used by Russian strongman Vladimir Putin who plays upon the candidate’s vanity.Appearing on ABC’s This Week, former CIA head Mike Morell noted that Putin’s career in the KGB gives him an edge in dealing with Trump.

    “He’s a trained intelligence officer, worked for the KGB, very talented, manipulated people much smarter than Donald Trump,” Morell explained.

    He played this perfectly. He saw that Donald Trump wanted to be complimented. He complimented him.

    That led Donald Trump to then compliment Vladimir Putin and to defend Vladimir Putin’s actions in a number of places around the world.”


    “And Donald Trump didn’t even realize that Putin was playing him,” he continued. “So, in Putin’s mind, I have no doubt that Putin thinks he’s an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation — although Putin would never say that.”

    Trump Has Another Bad Day As John Kasich Reminds America That The GOP Nominee Is A Liar

    Gov. John Kasich went on CNN today and called out Donald Trump for lying about not offering him the VP slot on his ticket. Kasich’s appearance was a reminder that Donald Trump is a liar who lies’ about anything and everything.

    The Trump campaign has insisted that there was never an offer on the table for Kasich to be vice president, but that is clearly a lie. If Trump holds true to form, he will soon take to Twitter to attack the Republican governor of Ohio, and he will attack Kasich at his upcoming rallies.

    The WP/ABC poll has 43.4% more Democrats than Republicans - see above for math. The 2015 Gallup poll has only 11.5% more Democrats than Republicans.

    Trump Campaign Ponders Going Negative

    NEW YORK — Saying they weren’t afraid to take the gloves off for the general election if need be, the campaign team for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reportedly considered the possibility Monday of pivoting their strategy and going negative.

    “We’ve tried to run a clean campaign that we can all take pride in, but if we’re truly serious about winning this thing, now might be the time to drop the nice guy act and get a little dirty,” said campaign chairman Paul Manafort, adding that the candidate should at the very least consider ramping up personal attacks on his opponents, even if the tactic feels slightly underhanded.

    “Ideally, we would continue to stay the course and keep everything upstanding and aboveboard, but in politics, you sometimes have to hit below the belt.

    Just because it isn’t the way we’re used to operating doesn’t mean we should dismiss the idea of getting into the mud to help our cause.”

    At press time, Manafort acknowledged that Trump supporters might be unsettled by the dramatic shift in tone, but expressed hope that his candidate’s reputation could handle any blowback.

    The epitome of Republican ideology

    Donald Trump is hardly the first Republican to go after the press, but he is the most open about his antipathy. He is the least willing to hide his contempt for the press and by proxy, for the American people. Because the press is there to ask the questions to which we need to know the answers. So when he shuts out the Washington Post or theNew York Times, he shuts us out as well.

    Nor is Trump the first Republican to attack our military service members. The self-proclaimed party of national security hasn’t been one for at least a generation and-a-half, ever since they discovered the greater rewards offered by government contractors. The Republicans will vote down funding for Veterans’ Administration budgets that care for our wounded fighters. They will vote for any possible cut to military compensation, either direct pay or benefits, in order to continue funding big expensive weapons systems, even those that the Department of Defense does not want, and, it seems, especially those that do not work.

    Republicans, led by Phylis Schlafly, won the fight against the Equal Rights Amendment during the 1980s. Henry Hyde was a Republican when he introduced and passed the Hyde Amendment that prohibited the spending of federal tax dollars for abortions, taking away the choice of poor women. And Republicans in states across the nation have been hard at work trying to take away the right of all women to control their own bodies. They have been at war with women for most of my adult life. So is it any wonder that Donald Trump is running on a platform of denigrating women? Of suggesting that sexual harassment is up to the individual to handle? Isn’t he merely articulating what the GOP has always been thinking?

    He is not the only Republican that wants that wall built. John McCain appeared with the self-styled minutemen on the Arizona border, where that state’s governor claimed immigrants were beheading people and littering the desert with their body parts. The GOP has come a long way toward complete surrender to xenophobia since Ronald Reagan signed the immigration reform bill in 1986, and when George H.W. Bush extended amnesty to an additional 1.5 million people in 1990.

    Yes, Trump is the walking, talking manifestation of the right-wing ideology that has taken control of the Republican Party. His candidacy, which daily looks to implode, is not an outlier. He is mainstream GOP, with communication skills amplified by Hannity, O’Reilly, Coulter, and Limbaugh.

    “They not only changed their formula, to put Hillary ahead. They went back and changed the results, for a week of results where Trump was ahead, and then they turned those into Hillary leads,” said Caddell. “They also erased all the former polling off the site. They didn’t tweak their procedure – they cooked it.”

    “Never in my life have I seen a news organization, and a supposedly reputable poll, do something so dishonest,” Caddell continued. “What they have done is, they decided the people who said, ‘oh, I’m never for someone’ – oh, those must be Hillary votes. They used to be Trump voters.”

    Trump pollster: 'There's a big hidden Trump vote'

    "We think there's a big hidden Trump vote in this country," said Conway, who added that Trump internal polls project "tighter" results in battleground states.

    Her comments echoed those from Democratic pollster Celinda Lake who during the Democratic convention said that her side sees a secret Trump vote among white males.

    "I worry that there is a bit of a secret Trump vote," said the influential pollster at an event attended by Secrets.

    She has proof revealed in polls that find more white male support when live people are doing the interviewing and less support for Clinton in anonymous online surveys.

    "The pattern is in the online surveys, even if you control for demographics, Trump does three to nine points better than in telephone surveys. So it really does suggest that there is a secret vote for Donald Trump," said Lake.

    Trump has had a really bad week, but I question what are "likely voters" if Trump is supposedly bringing out people who have never voted. It's too far out to be obsessing so about polls. And isn't Gallup not doing any election polls this year because they were so off last cycle?

    Not sure what Gallup has to do with other surveys' likely voter calculations, but yes, Gallup predicted Romney in 2012 and were pro-Republican by 7.2 points.

    In late October, Gallup consistently showed Mr. Romney ahead by about six percentage points among likely voters, far different from the average of other surveys. Gallup’s final poll of the election, which had Mr. Romney up by one point, was slightly better, but still identified the wrong winner in the election.

    I did not say 50% more. Here is my math:

    WP/ABC:
    33 - 23 = 10. 10/23 = 43.4% more Democrats than Republicans.

    2015 Gallup:
    29 - 26 = 3. 3/26 = 11.5% more Democrats than Republicans.

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/188096/de...ical-lows.aspx

    Either your math or your reading comprehension (or both) is off. No need to feel bad for my kids.
    Ok, in the most generous of readings, I'll concede your "43.4%" math (not 50% as nut claimed). But using that "number" in a vacuum, ignoring historical data, ignoring the severe split in the Republican party, and ignoring what has happened the last two weeks, is completely disingenuous.



    Citing 2015 Gallup is cherrypicking useless information. The chart above is "poll of polls" the past 8 years. The smallest spread was +5D in May 2011.

    Last 2 Presidential election cycles were +6D and +7D. So +10D in a single poll after Trump has had the worst two weeks in his entire campaign and the party is split on a drastic fault line, is completely reasonable and/or within the margin of error. It isn't some grand conspiracy.

    Nate Silver needs to retire and let TSA, rmt and ducks take over as poll statisticians. Squirrel-head is acting mentally unstable and driving away longtime Republicans, and you people think it's the pollsters' and media's fault?
