You can Look It Up! (Although you cannot do so on their own site, in all likelihood - they don't like to reveal their repeatedly erroneous-zone floppolas...Surprise!!) I strongly suspect a solid chance their "record" may well hold true.<br /><br />There's only one "poll" that's at all worthwhile - that's the one that has already begun in the "early-voting" States, and with the Absent Ballots, the finish of which happens early next month.<br /><br />Only really big danger is if the pro-Trump voters are insufficient in numbers to push the totals in States where the voting-fraud dangers are real - and there are a scary number of those - beyond the point where the fraud can overcome the difference...if it's too close, the Hillary/Democrat/NeverTrump Ninnies <i>will</i> steal it!!<br /><br />If you have need of any further encouragement to push you into voting for Trump - keep in mind: No matter what else takes place or does not transpire, the next POTUS <i>WILL</i> nominate (and doubtless confirm) at least one Supreme Court Justice - to fill the current vacancy - <i>and</i> quite likely will do the same for at least one (perhaps as many as two or even three) more of the same...that will make immediate <i>and</i> long-term (for a generation or even more) change to a Court that, overall, is already far more Left/"Liberal"/anti-Constitutional than is either safe or advisable for the future well-being of our sadly-tattered Republic...Take care: This alone would make a Clinton win, due to whatever means, particularly ill-advised.<br /><br />On the plus-side: Until the recent hurricane tail-end blew 'em all down, here in Coastal S.E. NC, there were many, <i>many</i> Trump signs, and <i>no</i> Clinton ones - this in an area where, in the past, were seen quite a few Obama car-stickers and signs. The Trump signs are now slowly re-appearing - but no Clinton to be seen!...<br /><br />J.S.Bridges<br />North Carolina<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-54562319163403238382016-10-13T17:08:21.326-05:002016-10-13T17:08:21.326-05:00@tycho: We saw very few signs and stickers, becau...@tycho: We saw very few signs and stickers, because our journey was through largely empty country and small town business districts; but of those we did see, I'd say pro-Trump outnumbered pro-Hillary by at least five to one.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-33466332615850070032016-10-13T16:32:27.516-05:002016-10-13T16:32:27.516-05:00Peter, you just made the round trip to Colorado.

OK hear me out on this one.<br /><br />If Trump wins, then hew will be an impotent president - the bureaucracy and both parties are against him and it will be virtually impossible for him to change much, if anyhing, of the present set up.<br /><br />Within the next four years, the pigeons will come home to roost regarding the 20 trillion dollars of debt, the 120 trillion of unfunded liabilities, the collapse of the healthcare system, Black Lives Matter causing riots, destroying cities etc. all engendered by the Democrats over the last 8 years.<br /><br />When it happens, Trump will be blamed and the Democrats will crow about all the problems being caused by Trump. I have seen this happen in the UK where the outgoing Labour (left wing, socialists) left a note in the treasury saying "There is no money left" AND SIGNED BY THE LABOUR HEAD OF THE TREASURY! A week later it was "Evil Tory Government not doing X, Y, Z".<br /><br />It is definitely a poisoned chalice for whoever gets into the White House. No, the Democrats have sown the wind, let THEM reap the whirlwind, not Trump. It will be like bursting a boil but the relief afterwards will be enormous. After the next election perhaps someone like Trump can start to pick up the pieces. But in the meantime, let the Democrats be hoist on their own petard.<br /><br />Phil BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-67259715208404825902016-10-13T15:15:24.853-05:002016-10-13T15:15:24.853-05:00Never trust a NYC Jew who works for the NYT

Every year samples became less reliable more adjustments had to be made to approximate "the truth." Every year I was less confident in the truth we told. Very soon, if we're not there already, we'll be back to the days of the Literary Digest poll of 1936. It'll be sort of refreshing.Shermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098953206824247173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-11846132709161714762016-10-13T12:24:07.265-05:002016-10-13T12:24:07.265-05:00Peter?

Even with the premise in your post that the media and the elite are untrustworthy you have not yet given up the idea that the pollsters are seeking truth, or even desire to report on the truth.<br /><br />You must release the idea that the media and the elite have any shred of concern for reality or truth. They seek to impose their vision for the truth on everyone else. Period.<br /><br />Pollsters are fabricating their polls to reflect the reality they desire. They likely know the truth; Trump is leading. But they will fight to change the reality until it cannot be denied.VFM #7916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-40313362889408201932016-10-13T11:36:05.522-05:002016-10-13T11:36:05.522-05:00Why are you wishing Hillary on some poor First Ass...Why are you wishing Hillary on some poor First Assistant Dog catcher and the poor dogs he catches?<br />LolRecce Riflemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728739036785037908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-76839105727992247762016-10-13T10:12:10.245-05:002016-10-13T10:12:10.245-05:00Batten down the hatches Mate.

Remember this whole Billy BUSH pussy grabbing "scandal" was orchestrated by Dan Senor a Romney and Cuck Ryan lackey. Hopefully by the time the dust settles from this treacherous episode the republican party as it is currently composed is burning a firey death on the ash heap of history and Trump or other leaders either resurrect it as a nationalist, American people first, rule of law, non interventionist party or replace it with another.<br /><br />The average American has been getting a red hot poker up the backside for years now and there's an R on the handle as well as a D. Their nation is being invaded and its population replaced, their wealth stolen, their children corrupted, their soldiers slaughtered for nothing and the very foundations of their nation are being systematically undermined by the ruling elites in both parties.<br /><br />Let's hope the hacker group Anonymous makes good on their threat to release a secretly recorded video on Epstein's pedophile island which shows Bill Clinton raping a 13 year old girl.
