Convention bounce, completely expected. Polls in 2-3 weeks will tell a lot more of the story.

Time Warner is CNN's boss and Time Warner has given Hillary a bunch of money for future favors and CNN's boss wants CNN to get Hillary elected. I can't make it any more basic!


Come on, people. Haven't you learned yet the only accurate polls are the ones that show Trump in the lead?

Well, hell. I guess it is over for Trump then. The polls say so.

Meanwhile, Hillary can't fill a phone booth at a rally and Trump is complaining about the Fire Marshal limiting his rally to a 1000 people and shutting out the rest of the thousands of people who came to hear him speak.

Both Stein and Johnson are outpolling Trump among minority voters.

The polls are completely and grossly inaccurate, get out and vote folks. The only poll that matters is the one counted on election night.

Weren't the Romney folks saying in the final weeks of the race that their 'internal' polls showing a much closer race than the public ones...they were just as delusional, if not more so, as the folks voting for their ticket.

I know what you mean, all she does is get millions and millions more popular votes than Bernie and Trump in the primaries . . . . . But rally attendance, lawn signs and bumper stickers are what count.

"60 million people voted in the primaries: about 30 million each for Republicans and Democrats."

"But half of the primary voters chose other candidates. Just 14 percent of eligible adults — 9 percent of the whole nation — voted for either Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton."

"An additional 73 million did not vote in the primaries this year, but will most likely vote in the general election."

Who knows what will happen in November?
