Possibly, but these polls are not all that accurate. It is impossible to tell heads or tails in them. Unless they show breakdown of Dems, Repubs, Indep, and likely voters, I am assuming they are skewed in 1 direction or the other. If anything they are useful fodder to impact voter turn out.

Forget about McCain, Paul Ryan who lost as running VP 4 years ago, etc.

All of them can easily be replaced and it is like the Democrats are scrambling what to do about the energizing bunny called Trump who seems to be unstoppable.

Many people are getting more respect for the man who has showed to be able to withstand bullies and the toughest circumstances that not many of us can with stand!

He may not be perfect, but the important thing is, he's not a politician. People are sick and tired of politicians who have deceived their constituents.

This is a movement. This is more than just grass-roots efforts; people like me and others are standing up and saying "Enough is enough". America is not any better off than it was eight years ago, and it is now at a tipping point. We are on the verge of losing this country, quite possibly, forever. We do not need progressivism or globalism. We need Americanism!

Trump is taking a stand. So are many decent, good-standing, hard-working (as well as needy) Americans who want this country to be a number one world power and a leader in the free world. We can revive!

It's always good to get input from a poster whose history reveals lots of 'Romney's gonna win!' posts from 2012.

But I'm fascinated by the fact that some people want to record their cluelessness for posterity...

Next time I need a realtor, I will be asking if s/he posts on City-Data POC. I need a smart person.

How inaccurate do you think they are? You are right - they all have small errors, some being biased one way, some biased the other but the more of them you aggregate the smaller that error gets. In order for them to be biased in one direction as a whole the individual polls would need to be off by tens of points.

Sadly, Trump knows nothing about everything. He is not even a businessman any longer in terms of selling/creating anything except royalties for the use of his name, and shell companies to move $$ and loans around. He is clueless about the economy.

I'm not one who believes govt needs a businessman, govt and business have entirely different objectives, but that's a topic for a different discussion. For the moment, even if a skilled businessman was the solution, Trump would not fall in that category. People like Cuban and Bloomberg are skilled and successful businessmen.

I believe there will be alot of people like myself, who would never disclose they are voting for Trump in public, mainly b/c I am around many fringe on the left or idealistic Bernie supporters. More than anything, I believe we need someone who has better insight on how the economy works, and creates a better environment for business investment to create better paying jobs. I am indifferent to many of these social issues the media seems fixated on.

My wife is dismayed, as she says there are many more people out there who will vole for HRC b/c she is offering more free things and her idea to pay for it is to tax the most successful. I am optimistic that people are ready to get rid of as many current politicians as possible, including incumbents who want to keep the status quo.
I simply can't reconcile the bolded parts above with each other. That highly educated people would vote for Trump because of his high moral compass (seriously?); or that Trump, a man who has had numerous business failures and numerous bankruptcies and once lost close to a billion dollars in one year, has any insight into the economy or business investment whatsoever.

How anyone who is highly educated can fall so completely for an obvious con man is bewildering.
