Red Five Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/748133064107229184 These state level numbers are so far out of line with other recent polls I'm not sure they are believable. Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hah! I was just coming to post that, BRB. I pulled these two charts from 538's site: I'd like to see that compared to past races at this time. Where were Obama/Romney and Obama/McCain? Where were Bush/Gore & Bush/Kerry? Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm most interested in that yellow 9.3% figure. That needs to go up about 6 percentage points. Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I am convinced more now than ever that Trump's only purpose for running was to help Hillary get elected. He has done nothing to exhibit he really wants the office. Come on people, let's get those Gary Johnson numbers up. 1 Link to comment

I agree....that's the only logical explanation to his actions and statements as a candidate. 1 Link to comment

And...in doing so....he has absolutely totally played one hell of a lot of people. Link to comment
Landlord Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 All he does is babble and every once in awhile hit on a hot button that some of his supporters want to hear. He is a complete idiot. I'm surprised his brain remembers to breathe. And, unfortunately, his competitor is a lying career politician. As detestable as he is, this isn't true. He's savvy, and he's fantastic at deflecting double speak. He might have NPD but he's not brainless. Link to comment

HuskerNation1 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It looks like Trump and Clinton are back to being deadlocked. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/30/us/politics/hillary-clinton-and-donald-trump-are-deadlocked-poll-shows.html?_r=0 http://www.qu.edu/news-and-events/quinnipiac-university-poll/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2363 As I stated before, I think this thing is going to go back and forth. Most voters don't really focus on the candidates and their positions on issues until labor day or after, so I think at that point in time some of these national and state numbers will be more meaningful. What is most intriguing about this poll is that Trump is performing quite a bit better among Hispanics than Romney or McCain did. Link to comment

However, I prefer to look at websites that combine polls together. It's similar to me liking 247 composite ratings of recruits better than any individual rating site. 2 Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm quite certain there are polls out there that show Trump leading Clinton. I'm also quite certain those are not the majority. One poll doesn't mean much. Aggregate polls, or data from multiple models (2,000 by 538.com) have more impact than any single poll. Regardless, I don't think Trump has much of a chance. If he's not leading before the debates, he'll get buried. Putting Trump in a chair next to Clinton, with a moderator, will expose him. 3 Link to comment
