That eliminates lots of other demographics, doesn't it?
So, in other words, hardworking Americans who want the USA to thrive again after this POS in the WH, too bad the rest of the country prefers weakness and pandering

I work in a fortune 500 firm, there are probably 100+ sitting on my floor at work. Of the 20-30 people I came across weekly, I can name 5-6 Trump haters but I was surprised to learn that many of our H1-B workers supports Trump when asked who they like mainly due to his business acumen. I think being surprised is what most of us will find out in November.

Of course Trump has "done nothing against LGBT rights" ... he has never been elected to any kind of elected office in his life so he has no record of influencing policy or law that relates to LGBT rights.


It's the stuff he says that has resulted in near unanimous condemnation by the LGBT community. He has come out against marriage equality. He has hobnobbed with extremist right wing anti-gay bigots. No one is surprise the vast majority of gay folks will not be voting for him.

I just don't see Trump winning this election. For the most part people don't like him: LGBT, Afro-Americans, women, millennials, Latinos, Muslims, Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, the media, etc., etc., etc. The man constantly puts his foot in his mouth and doesn't know how to sound intelligent. He has had ample time to sound presidential and smart. The Liberal media is having a field day with him and they are experts at pushing his buttons.

There is actually REAL legit polling out there and pollsters are spending a mint to do it. The one warning is that they can only call landlines and many younger voters only have a cell phone. Thus whoever is doing better with the younger voters, add a couple of percent to whatever they found out. Another thing, people live in rural areas without cell service still in certain places.

So with those factors in mind... you can reasonably take a couple of percent from the candidate supported more from older and rural voters (trump) and add a couple of percent to HRC.

Example:
The last three poll in the last week were
Rasmussen: HRC +5
Reuters: HRC +9
Bloomberg: HRC +12

or Clinton up by almost average of 9. Adjusting for the landline and rural factors... Clinton is really up probably 14% Polls that had Johnson/Weld included were more lopsided in favor of Clinton.

The only recent poll with Johnson/Weld AND the green party... Clinton was already up 10 before the landline or rural figured in.
Interesting - I had never thought about the landline issue! In fact, more than half of Americans now no longer have landlines. Those least likely to have landlines are people in urban areas and people under 40 (with more than 65% of those 30 and under cutting the cord as of 2014 - that number is probably much higher now). On the other hand, more than 85% of older Americans still have phones.

The adjusting for landline figures probably skew results even further.

It's real issue for polling until they come up with some other scientific accurate way to snap the photo.

The U.S. is not a liberal country.

If I'm not mistaken, you live in Cambridge. Correct? If so, then no surprise that you don't know anyone who supports Trump.

Donald will protect the gays. Read the Koran, being gay is punishable by death.
