Dexter thinks he going to sway the 50 Trump supporters on this forum. Knock yourself out ...
BTW, on 4/15/80, Ronald Regan had a 30% favorable rating among Americans. How'd that work out ?
Boom! Thanks for playing
One of the great myths of the 1980 campaign is that Reagan somehow came from behind at the last moment to defeat Carter. That narrative is based primarily on Gallup polling. But the average of polls, as John Sides has pointed out, gave Reagan an edge by early summer that he never relinquished. Carter’s lead over Reagan had been dropping throughout the early part of the year, as Carter’s hostage-crisis bounce disappeared. By the end of March, a local regression estimate of all the polls had Carter’s lead under 3 percentage points. In fact, Reagan led Carter in a late March 1980 Time/Yankelovich, Skelly & White poll. In 2016, Trump has not led in any recent polls. Clinton has led in the last 26 of them. When we apply the local regression we did to the 1980 polls to the surveys conducted this campaign, Clinton’s lead is expanding, and she is now up by a little more than 10 percentage points over Trump. This makes sense: Obama is becoming more popular, and Trump’s favorable ratings have been dropping since the beginning of the year.
I think there are some very positive, definite signs that people who once supported Trump are beginning to see him for what he is..........an empty suit with a lot of promises but nothing to back it up. The tide is beginning to change, thank God.
Trump just could not keep his mouth shut on any subject and was his worst own enemy. A lot of us felt that, as time went on, the people who were thinking about him would move away and start thinking about a serious choice.
Cool. Find a candidate who was viewed unfavorably by a third of all women, nearly two-thirds of independents, 80 percent of young adults, 85 percent of Hispanics and nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. One who was also a three-point deficit to the opposition in polls and in just one month sank to a nearly eleven point deficit. Oh and also one who trailed the polls in every, single swing-state. Get back to us and let us know how that worked out. Wait, I'll save you the time. Its NEVER happened because there has never been such an unpopular candidate in major party history. If it had, that candidate would lose a general election in an epic landslide, just like Trump will if by some miracle he gets the GOP nomination.
So if believe it will take a "miracle" for Trump to get the nomination why are you so worried?
And you are. You really are.
Nobody believes this bs. You can give it up. One can clearly see how popular Trump is by his numbers and months of #1 media coverage alone. To say the opposite is to be a complete delusional and brainwashed buffoon.
A fact need not be "believed" to be true. Truth is the daughter of time, and the half-life of the promises made in a spittle-flecked speech are getting shorter and shorter as the news cycle begins to grind against electoral deadlines. I'm growing rather fond of data-driven decision-making, myself. YMMV.
I just wonder if he's ever had a job. That's a real powerful indicator of someone's politics. Trump supporters tend to earn their money, while those that hate him recognize this and are concerned that their free ride through life is going to end, and they'll be forced to work for a living, sometimes for the 1st time in their entire lives.
He hasn't been online for an hour. Word is - he's standing in front of a mirror practicing saying, "would you like fries with that?"
