CONFIRMED: Early Voting Data Shows Trump Lead - Ignore Trolls Who Say Otherwise
Jesus christ. You didn't even bother reading your own article, did you? Just read the headline and raced straight to your computer, right?

The article is such a piece of crap it even defeats its own argument - read this:

Quote:
Of course, people would say that McCain and Romney held a higher lead with mail-in ballots in Florida than Trump (assuming that most republicans will vote for the republican candidate — which they most likely will). That is true, but it is highly misleading. If holding a lead in mail-in ballots actually mattered, then both McCain and Romney should have won Florida, yet they did not.
In other words, "none of what we said in our own article is true."

You people don't even know how to read an article - just the friggin' headlines. And you wonder why we make fun of you?

None of the votes were counted. What is true is at this point more Republicans have turned in mail in ballots so far than Democrats. However, mail in ballots typically favor the GOP and in person early voting typically favors Democrats. In Florida, the GOP mail in advantage is lower than it has been in previous elections (no in person early vote data is available as it starts today). However, some seem to think the GOP having a smaller advantage than the past is good for Trump...

I know. The article actually says things are worse this year for the GOP than they were in 2012, when they lost Florida. Yet somehow that means Trump is doing well. It's the craziest thing I ever read.

Just to add to that. When early voting started in 2012 (which was 10 days prior to Election Day) the GOP had about a 66k advantage in returned ballots (5.04% lead). Going into early voting which started today in most counties (15 days prior to Election Day) the GOP lead is a little over 20,600, about 1.71%. The Democrats closed the gap considerably on the first day of early voting in 2012, and the overall early and absentee vote combined by Election Day was Dem +3%

I don't trust any poll. Polls are used as a psychology play to manipulate voters. Either way, I'm showing up and voting.

Until people stop quoting CNN and MSNBC as "valid sources", no one has anything to say about the validity of non lame stream media sources.

From what I can tell, the left wing media called the election about six months ago and has been pushing their anointed candidate since then. They sure seem worried about an election they claim has long since been settled in the polls.

IMO, this election will show more about the state and direction of the American public than the candidates.

Actually if you look back right after the 2012 election they was saying that Hillary would be the next president. There are threads on it.

I just saw a poll from Yahoo that says Clinton and Trump are neck to neck.
