Mr. Trump was speaking nothing but the truth. Of course, he was referring to a private poll among his five children and his wife. He was a bit frustrated when the results came out: 3 for him, 3 for Clinton. Many people are saying that he is thinking of launching an investigation into the polling results, with many people saying that the polls results were 'rigged'.
I fear that if he discovers that his current, third wife, voted for Hillary, that deportation could be her doom.
I literally laughed out loud at this! (Maybe I need to stop reading here at work....)
Reuters has her back up by 7 but they didn't actually post the numbers, just a headline "Clinton lead grows to 7." -_-.
Also from Reuters:
"Nearly one-fifth of registered Republicans want Donald Trump to drop out of the race for the White House, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday, reflecting the turmoil his candidacy has sown within his party.
...
Among all registered voters, some 44 percent want Trump to drop out. That is based on a survey of 1,162 registered voters, with a confidence interval of 3 percentage points. That is 9 points higher than his support for the presidency in the latest Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll registered on Monday."
That last sentence bears repeating:
"That is 9 points higher than his support for the presidency in the latest Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll registered on Monday."
African-American Voters: Clinton 86%, Stein 5%, Johnson 4%, Trump 2%

Trump is currently in fourth place among black voters. You read that correctly: He’s trailing Hillary Clinton, Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein. Any one national poll typically has only about 100 African-American respondents — too small a sample to make much of the results. So here’s an average of the four live-interview surveys taken since the conventions, from ABC News/Washington Post, Fox News, Marist, and NBC News/Wall Street Journal:
Of course, as always happens in every single election, the third-party candidates poll better than they do at the ballot box. It will happen here, too, and Clinton will scoop up almost all of the African-Americans who are currently saying they will vote for Stein or Johnson.
Now cue up some goofball with a video of one black man who is pro-Trump, claiming that shows how there's a huge groundswell of African-Americans for Trump!

538: “Huh? Oh, yeah–it’s a big social club. The pollsters all work together. We have a Slack-room that’s sharing all kinds of results and skews and all that. That’s how we keep it all orderly.”
538: “Sure–what? You think it’s . . . random? Come on. Who do you think pays for the polls? People who want results. You’re buying media. It’s like ads or . . . I don’t know. Like newspaper stories? You pay 30k for a poll of Florida, it says what you want.” http://powderedwigsociety.com/trump-commanding-lead/

Trumps number one support base is non-college educated whites. In 1980 that demographic was 65% of the nation. In 2016 it's just 33 percent. Meanwhile non-white voters have gone from 12% to over 28% in that same time period.
Trump appeals best to non-educated, lower-middle class whites. The exact demographic that the Republicans were feverishly trying to distance themselves from under their revitalization plan because they knew that continuing to appeal to this cohort would cause them to lose national elections.
After watching hours of Donald's footage, I concluded that fundamentally Trumpism is mostly driven by the nostalgia of Whites about the way things were before globalisation and diversity. Not all Whites, mind you, but the ones who see no good future and whose level of knowledge makes it possible for them to believe that we can go back to some time in 1950's...My conclusion is not even based on what Trump actually says but how he says it and his facial expressions and body language.
For that reason, minorities will not be voting for Trump in any significant numbers. After a long history of being held down, their gut feeling about Trump and his average supporter is probably much stronger than mine.
do you honestly believe that was an actual interview with an un-named source from 538 and not just the writer creating a fictional source?
