What polls are you referring to? What do you mean by 'counting these people'? Plus, in way of contrast, what are the Democrat numbers?

WHICH God is that? The God of the Old Testament - who is demanding, cruel, vindictive, mean and wrathful, or the God of the New Testament - who takes a softer approach. They are VERY different.
Christianity has a split personality.

Hey, if the GOP doesn't want to be compared to those folks, they shouldn't BEHAVE like those folks.
It's really pretty simple.
There are REASONS the Alt-Right neo-NAZI/KKK type like Trump so much - he's pushing much of their AGENDA.

Looks like the LA Times is starting to explain why their poll could be wrong.

Why is Trump still winning our poll?

Quote:
Clinton and Trump are now even in the Daybreak poll among the most committed voters — those who say they are absolutely certain to vote and sure about which candidate they back. Trump previously had an edge among those voters.

Trump’s overall lead in the poll now depends on support from people who say they are less than 100% sure to vote.
In addition, it looks like the poll may be starting to move in line with other polls. Trump now only holds a 2.6 point lead.

That's actually a good point. While polling is statistical analysis of random sampling, most pollsters do normalize their polls when their random sample deviates from observed population demographics. The question is whether the roughly 294 thousand newly registered Florida Republicans out of the roughly 4.5 million registered Florida Republicans (a 6% increase) is enough to overcome the roughly 200 thousand newly registered Florida Democrats out of the roughly 4.7 million Florida Democrats (a 4% increase).

(Florida Voter Registration Link, numbers cited compare years 2015 and 2016).

It should move the needle just less than 1% towards the Republicans with regards to polling adjustments, as they increased from 34.9% to 35.7% of the Florida voting demographic.

Clinton Campaign: Extend Voter Registration Due to Hurricane
If God is using Hurricane Matthew to ensure that Donald Trump takes Florida, how come He didn't have it hammer SE Florida? Broward, Dade and Palm Beach. Where the D vote is concentrated. Instead he seems to be turning His fury on areas of the state that voted for Mitt Romney. Brevard, Volusha and points north..

If the hurricane is manestfestation of God's will to smite heathen Democrats, wouldn't you expect Him to be more precise than that?

Ya Think?

Not if he kills people to make a political point. Here in our republic, we use marketing to do that.

Nevada and North Carolina don't matter because the Democrats have added more. Pennsylvania doesn't matter either. They have barely made a dent in the Dems advantage there. Democrats tend to have their voter registration surges later as well. Usually they happen right before registrations are cut off.
