The polls are starting to become more accurate and less biased as usually happens near the end. And Trump is starting to take the lead. Coincidence?

Riiiight... because he didn't run for President in 2000 and because his selfless motivation to seek was held in check and not all that compelling to him for another 16 years. Alrighty... |

reub wrote:Why isn't he POTUS material? Because he hasn't been in the government his whole life? To me that's a good thing. He has run multi-billion dollar businesses and has the energy of 1000 Hillarys. I feel like this is a like a deaf and a blind person trying to discuss film. Both can do so but their frame of reference is to radically different there is not common vernacular. Some of us see Trump and see someone with the intellect and temperament of a ill-behaved child. I'm not exaggerating or embellishing. He is a literal buffoon and worse, mentally unhealthy. How others can see him and not see this is foreign to us. That through someone else's eyes he appears as a respectable, competent figure is literally inconceivable. It's like watching someone hysterically laugh at a Larry the Cable Guy direct-to-video movie. I can the film and see the person having an utterly different reaction than me, but trying to see what they are seeing is impossible. It's playing different in their heads. That aside, when you simply regurgitate a talking point like he has more "energy" than Clinton (because he says so), it is difficult not to ridicule it. |

What polls are you referring to?! The last TWENTY polls listed in real clear politics 4-way race have Hillary with a lead - with just a couple of them within the margin of error. |

Clinton is not going to win by 14 points. This just makes the poll deniers case for them. Next favorable poll for Trump they'll do the same. |

It's actually a 3 way race between Billary (two people who act like one) and the Trumps (one person who acts like two)

A few points: -None of those are states Hillary needs. They have her leading in Colorado, PA, VA, and Wisconsin, which would be plenty for her to win the election. -If a race has stayed roughly the same over the past few weeks, just by chance you'll have a few states where each candidate is gaining momentum. It's likely random fluctuation. -There's growing consensus among statisticians that it makes much more sense to look at national polling than state polling, for a few reasons. 1 - It's pretty rare (like once a century) that the winner of the popular vote loses the election. 2 - the methodology, sample sizes, and number of available polls are much better at the national than state level. (You're relying on one polling organization in just a few of states. That looks like cherry picking.) The obsession with a couple of states is just the media's attempt to create more excitement. If Hillary really is up nationally by anywhere near the polling average of 6 points, there's no way she'll lose the electoral college. Even if she's up by just 2 points, there's no way. |

Silver actually puts greater emphasis on state polling, or actually more accurately, demographic polling. As I linked to and detailed yesterday. His model looks for states that have historical demographic voting similarities. He uses correlation, smoothing out areas where there isn't a lot of polling. |

58% of African Americans in this country under the age of 24 unemployed.. FIFTY EIGHT %
If you're an AA parent--you want to END illegal immigration and have jobs for AMERICAN youth. Good jobs that will rise in pay and create opportunities. Who can deny this fact???? RIP Crushalot😞
