He's "well-positioned" to go down in flames in the biggest landslide since Reagan-Carter.

So true. He has been working overtime, ever since the debate, to make it clear to all the Latina voters in Florida that he doesn't care much for them, and making it clear to all the college educated women in Florida, along with most other women, that he doesn't care much for them, either. No wonder he's handing Florida to clinton, since women in general are a pretty big percentage of the voters there.

Doesn't sound like majority to me. How many people to you know with a land line these days?
You clearly are misinformed on the methodology of the surveys. There's a variety of survey types represented in those 8 (out of 10, with one showing a tie and one showing Trump leading) surveys. Here's the methodology of a few:

Fox News: 459 landline and 550 cell phones

Reuters/Ipsos: sample of 1,705 people, all done online

Bloomberg: sample of 1,002 people, mix of landline and cell phones.

Yougov: sample of 1300 people, all done online


Do you even care about actual facts?

Here are some facts

These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America - Business Insider

Since only 6 globalist corporations run 90% of our media, and Hillary is the Globalist candidate, there is no reason to trust the media's or the pollster's veracity

CBS, ABC Cover FBI Director

Media and FBI bias for Clinton disgusts voters | TheHill

I guess the disgusted voters aren't being polled, or maybe the pollsters aren't asking very good questions

Facts don't matter to these people.

Even if Trump is down by 20 points, they will find a way to spin it that he is leading.

Notice they almost never say Trump is leading by how many points, because posting an actual number requires facts and they have none. So they usually just say something generic like Trump is leading! and leave it at that.

Who cares about polls when alphabet news doesn't report facts, only their agenda--

I'm talking about polling specifically, not Trump or Hills

She won't. You should be asking yourself why you support such a bought & paid for politician.
What's a landline?

Media attack? He is the one that is bringing attention to himself, which he loves. He will do anything for attention, even negative.

You have to learn who to ignore.
