Hillary Clinton so far ahead in polls that she 'doesn't even think about' Donald Trump anymore*

Ruth Sherlock, Washington

24 October 2016

Hillary Clinton is so far ahead of Donald Trump in the race for the presidency that she no longer even feels the need to pay attention to the Republican nominee.

Buoyed by a double digit lead in some national polls, Mrs Clinton has said she is now looking past Mr Trump entirely, and will no longer counter allegations made by her rival.

Donald Trump’s chances of winning are approaching zero

By Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake October 24

The election is in 15 days. And the electoral map just keeps looking grimmer and grimmer for Donald Trump.
Every news organization had Hillary in the lead including Fox. Based on both Republican and Democratic polling firms (most used two polling companies, one that usually did polling for repubs and the other that usually polled for dems, in each poll).

The were reporting the facts of the poll(s). The polling process is well documented.


Quote:
Clinton has a commanding lead in Fox News’ 2016 Electoral Scorecard. Clinton is campaigning from a position of strength and she’s now maneuvering to press her advantage.

The Fox News Decision Team is moving our rating for Iowa from Lean Republican to Toss Up. Iowa is still typically a blue state in presidential elections – it has gone Democratic in six of the last seven elections. President Obama won Iowa in 2008 and 2012, and the most recent Republican to win the state was President George W. Bush in 2004. This year, Iowa has looked to be the state most likely to flip from Democratic to Republican. Iowa has a large number of white voters without college degrees, the base of Trump’s support. That’s a big reason we’ve long seen the state leaning in his direction, but the polling data is now mixed enough and Clinton’s ground team is active enough for us to now call Iowa a Toss Up.

While we still see Trump as favored in Indiana, he only has a single-digit lead in the polls. Clinton is starting to air ads in the state as she tries to pick off a few typically Republican states and, in the process, help elect several down-ballot Democrats.

From the first article:
Quote:
A top adviser to Mr Trump acknowledged on Sunday the Republican presidential candidate was lagging behind his rival.

Kellyanne Conway, Mr Trump campaign manager, said Mrs Clinton had "tremendous advantages," including a large campaign war chest that had allowed her to spend millions on television ads.

"We are behind," Ms Conway said on NBC's "Meet the Press." But she added the Trump campaign was looking to sway undecided voters not ready to support Clinton.

She also insisted Mr Trump could still win. "The fact is that this race is not over," Ms Conway said on Sunday. "He's not - we're not giving up. We know we can win this."

With only 16 days until the election, two separate polls have given Mrs Clinton a 12 point lead over Mr Trump, with the real estate mogul's support tanking among key voter groups.

The MSM is unreliable. The polls were presented that Trump losing was fact.

These types of blogs should be shut down, IMO. Too many whackos out there.
Fake news or specualtion, lawyers will have a field day. Like everything else dems oppose, they are immune and have the right to use poetic license, inflection, punctuation, lies to conclude their news is not fake and it isn't even news.


Talk about slippery slopes and admitting people are dumber than rocks and need to be cared for by kindly politicians. Fake news bans are the stuff of propaganda machines and democrats!!!!!!


So was the claim that the video caused the attack on benghazi embassy?


Is saying ISIS is the JV team a fake news story?


Telling the american people they can keep their doctor, PERIOD! a fake news story?


If not, then the fake news dust up is more restrictions on speech and government control.

The media was only reporting the results of the polls and the pollsters predictions. Which is what they are supposed to do.

MSM doesn't do the polls. Republican and Democratic polling firms do the polls (usually together)

I guess you are clueless to what is a news story.

Reporting that the president (or whoever said it) made the statement is news.




But, ISIS is a JV team when compared to any major countries military (US, Russia, China).
