A 25.2% chance! So, you are saying there is still a chance!! YESSSSSS!!

Trump fans should think of a shooting guard who has a field goal percentage of 25.2%, or a quarterback with completion percentage of 25.2%. Yes, it is "possible".

Anyway, I hope Hillary Clinton is winning in the polls on election day,
that will help keep her voters home, thinking "we got this".

Or Trump fans saying, "crap, Trump ain't winning, I am staying home."

I agree with you though, I would like Hillary to be down a little on the polls on 11/7. That would ensure anti-Trumps come out, and third party candidate supporters would vote for Clinton.

I have noted before that each Party pays for their own private polling. I have said to keep an eye on those Republicans running for re-election: if they begin to jump on the Trump bandwagon, you can bet that the RNC polling is showing improved numbers.


However, it appears that we will see Republicans drawing away from Trump this month.


Donald Trump


Citing a New York Times article concerning Mr. Trump's drop in the public polls, we find this in the above link:


"But private polling by both parties shows an even more precipitous drop, especially among independent voters, moderate Republicans and women, according to a dozen strategists from both parties who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the data was confidential."


Also:


"The paper also reports that many Republican congressional candidates will take another poor debate performance this Sunday “as a cue to flee openly from their nominee.”


I am of the opinion that Mr. Trump having another poor performance is a given. He may do 'better' than the first debate, but only because he set his bar so low, and he must (I would hope) be taking this second debate more seriously in regards to preparation.

a) She lived in the north side neighborhood of Edgewater before moving with her family to nearby Park Ridge;

What could he possibly do to prepare himself for the town hall debate coming up in a few days?

In addition to not being all that comfortable with a give-and-take atmosphere, and defending his platform that even his vice president has apparently abandoned, several new items have come to light.

After the last debate, he got into it with Latina beauty queen he reportedly called fat and "Miss Housekeeping." In the middle of the night, he tweeted for people to watch her porn film. Turns out she wasn't in a porn film. Turns out he was.

Also turns out he violated the Cuban embargo. There was some attempt to pass it off as a charitable endeavor. No one is buying it.

Seems he hasn't paid any federal tax in nearly twenty years due to a financial setback in 1995. Trump stated that he was "smart" for doing this. Christie and Giuliani have gone on TV to defend him as a "brilliant" "genius." Others take a somewhat dimmer view.

Trump Foundation does not appear to be operating within the law.

Then he made a thoughtless remark about those who struggle with PTSD not being as strong as others. So far, no apology.

Pence went on TV and denied the two of them said things that anyone can find on Youtube within seconds. He also disagreed with Trump in several areas. Trump will either need to back off of some of his key proposals or call Pence out.

Polls could go up after this town hall meeting, but it's a long shot.

Emerson polls are tailor-made for Trump to do well in (landline only) yet he trails in Arizona?

Now we know why he was out there campaigning a few days ago. The internal polls must be dreadful.

Emerson has a 1.3 point Republican bias according to 538.
