That's funny, you don't seem to mind TRUMP'S "childish name calling".
Shall we review the number of different "childish names" he's called people?
So, I guess by your own admission, Trump is "uninformed and desperate" (YOUR words) eh?
Yeah, I think that sounds about right.
Oh the irony of your post.

If the polls were accurate, then you may be right. Might be right, anyway, but the polls aren't very accurate.
CBS/YouGov.....40/39/4 - Clinton/Trump/Johnson
Quinnipiac........41/33/16 - Clinton/Trump/Johnson

If you read the poll (boring, I know) you see the problem. The problem is, Johnson was not offered until after the respondent said "neither". And that's not representative of what the voter will see on the ballot.

I agree that the way to 270 for Trump is not clear; most people don't see how he can do it.
Clearly, Hillary will win unless somehow Johnson prevents her from getting to 270 in November. And that's going to be hard.

FTR: I am a Johnson supporter, a Clinton detractor, and aghast at the possibility of a Trump presidency.

If you read your link (boring, I know) it is now over two months old. I was referring to the poll released today. Totally different story:

Did I ever say I don't mind Trump's childish name calling? I don't think so. Regardless I think he's still a better choice than Clinton. That's my choice and my right, you don't need to agree with it.
This forum is suppose to be about polls. Not calling eachother names because we don't agree.

For the record, I never called you any name. I said that you included everyone but Martians in your theory that no one is voting for Trump because the polls don't back you up on that whatsoever.

The latest national poll both with and without Johnson has Clinton up 2. That would be Morning Consult. They are both down 1 percentage point from August 26 and Johnson and Stein are up 1 percentage point BUT you know what's really stupid. No, really.

On Sept 2, 13 percent of people say they don't know who they are voting for. I say that's bullsh**!
Not poll bullsh** but people responding bullsh**.

"The poll was conducted Sept. 1-2 among a national sample of 2,001 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points."

So, registered voters not likely voters.

Don't you think we should expect AT LEAST as much civility, decency and (quite frankly) just basic maturity of our PRESIDENT as you expect from mere posters on this board?
Apparently not.

How's it going to work our when Trump calls OTHER FOREIGN LEADERS such names? Think that's a good idea?

Yes, Gore won the popular vote and we will never know who won the electoral vote because SCOTUS shut down the Florida recount.

I think there are a lot Trump supporters cringe when Trump resorts to name calling, and wish it were not part of his campaign. Thankfully, it seems to have stopped in recent weeks. At the same time, when I consider the positives and negatives, it is still better than Hillary and her policies, corruption, and criminality.

That's said, when I see people here resorting to name calling of other posters, it says a lot more about the name caller than it does the target. Usually, the minute I see the name calling, I stop reading the post because the poster obviously has nothing intelligent to say, and is clearly not worthy of my attention. It is not like there is something more important at stake here on this board, as there is in the election.
