All the detractors are very quiet about that now, though one is saying that we shouldn't pay attention to polling. LOL!

Polling Now Shows King Hillary losing to Trump in General Election
On the other hand, I find it funny that you are a big fan of polls all of sudden when Mr. Trump is doing better.

Very possible, especially if the right candidate is on the ballot. It can't be the stupid democrat that ran for Senate against McConnell in Kentucky last year who couldn't even double-down on voting Obama in 2012, let alone give a convincing argument why she couldn't say who she voted for.

Democrats have a huge problem...No viable candidate!!

Actually, the Dems have some good candidates, all vetted.

The GOP candidates, on the other hand, are dropping like flies.

"Before signing off for the night, Trump also took a few last shots at Bush, retweeting someone who called the former governor of Florida “crazy” and urging him to speak English, not “Mexican,”

Speaking any language but English on the campaign trail when running for POTUS is an insult to MOST Americans. Especially with the growing anger against illegal aliens, most who happen to be "Hispanic", speaking Spanish ain't real smart. Period.

They behead women in public.

If she goes out old man Bernie won't be able to cope up.

Even Rubio can take him out.

Donald or even Bush would beat him.

Now they're evaluating other options but Biden or Al Gore won't do the job

Dead in the water.
I think both sides have that problem...2016 will be crazy v. stupid on steroids!

Lol. He did not say Spanish. He said Mexican. His Ignorance thinks it is a language.

Oh and BTW, Romney and Bush and possibly McCain all spoke "Mexican" too.

2. So, when does a poll become "stale" and no longer reliable? Please tell me - draw a bright line in the sand and rationalize it.

3. It's your lucky day, Quinnipiac came out with a FL-OH-PA poll on 8/20. That might be stale to you, since that was five days ago, lol. 2016 Presidential Swing State Polls Poll - August 20, 2015 - Biden Tops Trump In Florida, O | Quinnipiac University Connecticut

4. According to that poll, Hillary is beating Mr. Trump in OH and PA, and well within the margin of error in FL even though Republicans are way overweighed in FL for this poll. Hillary gets her butt kicked by Rubio and Bush in FL, but I expect that because they are the "native sons". In OH and PA, Hillary is within the margin of error for the most part.

5. Biden is within margin of error against Jeb! and Rubio? outside of FL, and he destroys Mr. Trump everywhere, well beyond the margin of error. Bernie is ahead of Mr. Trump in OH and PA, though within the margin of error.

  1. I'm glad you are entertained. That however is irrelevant as is the rest of that bullet.
  2. They don't and it's a fallacious question. The problem are people who cite old polls as reflecting the present.
  3. You got quite indignant when those polls were contradicted by the one I posted.
  4. See 3.
  5. This doesn't make any sense. Biden isn't even running.
Bottom line. Even you now seem to be resigned to the fact that the King is now crashing and burning since you now drag Biden into the conversation even though he isn't a candidate. That alone speaks volumes to these old dusty polls that you keep citing.
