As I keep saying you guys didn't have a problem pimping these very same polls when your boy was drumming Cruz and got a bump after the RNC. Now that they say something you don't like naturally you find fault in them. It's the Trump way.

So much for trying to provide the SPECIFIC information you cited in your post. Things are worse than I thought when people have to attack their own credibility to try to make it sound like they are supporting the Orange Menace.

Trump is losing bigly. Even if you could prove bias in one poll, which you haven't, it's laughable to suggest that every pollster in the country is conspiring against poor Donnie, just so they can all have egg on their face on Election Day. If the data showed Trump winning, that is what pollsters would be reporting. Getting things right is their stock in trade.

In other words: "I don't agree with the results of the polls, so they must be skewed/incorrect."

Real clear Politics averages the polls. They have Clinton leading 5.5 points.

But, of course, they're skewed, too.

Examples of what? What the hell are you talking about?

Having "neither" as an option in a poll of likely voters is nonsensical, Reuters was smart to remove it.

It is being reported by virtually everyone, and is a fact, that the media pile on against me is the worst in American political history!

Cheese with that wine?

Sounds like a wussy, doesn't he? And he wants to be CinC and kick ISIS asses? Bomb the **** out of them and all. And he's whining about being mistreated by the press.

Man up you little wussy.

Funny stuff! ...and certainly not untrue.

Not really. For one thing, Trumps campaign team are merely playing along with the polls. For them to dispute them is like being a sour loser even before the votes are counted. Bad optics. Not another side issue to distract from Hillary. What they say in private is another issue entirely. If the polls are skewed toward Hillary, with Trump just a few points behind, the Trump camp must be feeling confident.

I just wonder how accurate the City-Data poll will reflect who wins in Nov. Trump had won this poll, here on City-Data by 105 to 101 for Hillary. All with a larger cheering squad for Hillary among the City-Data ranks.

Bolded is not at all accurate. Just look at the list of threads on the first page of this forum. The pro-Trump/anti-Hillary threads far outnumber the opposite.

I'm really sorry you and many of the others here can't seem to follow a very simple thread. Again, you might attempt to read the thread. I'm not going to waste my time retyping what's already been said or responding to comments from people that can't seem to stay on topic. I don't worry about Ad Hominems. It just proves those people can't supply a valid retort.
