Ronald Reagan was down 8 points on October 26, 1980, and won in a massive landslide. The recent major media polls have an oversampling of democrats, which is why there is such diversion between several of those and the polls which have Trump even or ahead. The major media is using the age-old tactic of making it look like a blowout in order to suppress Trump turnout.

The NBC/WSJ poll had a ratio of 44 dems / 37 repubs / 19 other

The Fox poll had a ratio of 43 dems / 36 repubs / 21 other


And Gallup had Carter up 8 on 10/26/80.



I can't help you further.

I've already stated I have no idea who will win.

I see a path to 269 (which would do it) or 270, but that is in the face of the Media/Democrat Party/Clinton Machine triumvirate.

You do know that shortly after that 1980 poll, there was another debate and in that debate, Reagan eviscerated Carter and essentially doomed his bid to repeat, right? Trump has no such opportunity and failed to take advantage of any of the ones he did have.

I'm starting to think reality much have one of those lib'rul biases you're always bitching about, as averse as you seem to be to it.

You sound like Dick Morris 4 years ago

When are you going to accept the fact that there are more registered Democrats than Republicans and that's why the sample is the way it is?

It's also in reference to doing polling research for advertising purchasing. There is a lot to go after in the wikileaks emails...this isn't one.

So is Pat Buchanan, yet you cite him with regularity.

Let's just say the left wing and media are involved in this brilliantly coordinated conspiracy to steer election results, as you suggest. Putting aside the fact that in order to be successful, literally tens of thousands would have to be involved and that no profit loving publisher would go rogue to expose it in order to sell copies, do you really believe that conservative voters are so stupid that they cannot decide which way to vote on their own? Are they too simple to see the giant conspiracy, which is screamed about from numerous right wing news and opinion sources? Can they not figure it all out - as you have been able to do - and then drag themselves to the polls accordingly?

Exactly.

and with all the voter fraud that the democrats are rolling out for this election I expect more people to vote for hillary than the US actually has in population.

Just accept the fact.....both candidates are shit and its just that the democratic voters are going to vote for their shitty candidate more than the republicans are gonna vote for their shitty candidate.


Doesnt take a rocket scientist, or a Johnson supporter, to see that Hillary wins this one in a landslide.

Unless Trump can flip some states that are currently blue by 5% or better, it may not matter. Clinton already at 272 when adding up all states in her favor by better than 5%...I know, rigged polls.

She could lose Ohio, NC, and Florida and still pull out a 272 to 265 victory.

This would be the first time in (polling) history where an Ohio loser would win the presidency, correct?

I'm not 100% sure on your statement but safe to say it would be an extreme rarity. Ohio has voted for the winner in 28 out of the last 30 elections dating back to 1896.

For a Republican, it has never happened. In '44 Ohio voted Dewey who lost to Roosevelt. So it wasn't an instance of a Republican losing Ohio but winning the Presidency but it was one of the two times we've been wrong since 1896. The other Isadore mentioned was 1960 when we picked Nixon over Kennedy.
