Trump will have the polls go up again. Every time Trump is hit he is loved more.

The thing about this election that is different is that both presumptive candidates are not only broadly disliked but also very well known. This isn't going to be a case of the electorate warming up to a candidate once they get to know them. Given that situation, I'm not sure how much the polls are going to move as we move into the general election. My guess, only marginally, and that wouldn't be enough to elect Donald Trump.

In his Sunday Fox interview Trump also told Geraldo Rivera that he would be a VP that would "get that Spanish vote in two seconds". If that were not bad enough he goes on to comment on immigrants referring to people coming from Geraldo's "parts". Geraldo Rivera is an New York native just like Trump.

Think I am making this up, that no one running for president can be so stupid?

Poll numbers can swing 10 points or more from one week to another. Just look at the primary polls where Trump was down double digits to Cruz a few weeks ago and is now double digits ahead of him as of today. There's over 6 months before the election. What good does a 7 point lead do with over 6 months to go. Nothing at all.
He wasn't down 20 a few weeks ago, he was only down 8.5 and that bogus Rasmussen poll that had him tied with Hillay is the only reason he's now at 7.3 Dont worry, it will be back up into the double digits once a few more polls with her hammering him by 10+ come out again.

I can't wait for those Hillary TV commercials where they point out "The Donald -- The Hair isn't the only thing that's fake."

Hillary is not popular......she is only 10% less negative than Trump....and she has received a free ride from the media and the DNC.



Hillary is in trouble....sad that she and her blind supporters doesn't know it!
Rasmussen's record for accuracy isn't the greatest. In 2012, Nate Silver gave them a C rating because they had a Republican bias of 2.3%.

He won't have to - it will be all over by 6/7 for Lyin' Ted and maybe sooner if he gets dusted Tuesday in Indiana.

Can't wait for the Unskewed Polls guy to come in and show that the unskewed polls show Trump winning by a landslide.

Donald Trump responds to Hillary Clinton's "demeaning" comments - CBS News
"Spanish vote"

Is there any doubt that Trump is the dumbest candidate in US history? His rise represents a rock bottom in American pop culture.

The difference is no one cares about how many wives Trump has had or escorts Trump has hired. He was a private citizen. Bill on the other hand was a sitting Governor or President when he couldn't control himself and some of those women have come out stating it was not concessional which really wouldn't even affect Hillary but then she personally threatened those women who wouldn't shut up about it. Those women will be more than happy to come out and talk about it and let it all out of the bag. That's not saying much about the candidate that puts herself on a pedestal as a champion for women.
