"...Since 1940, the results of the student vote have usually mirrored the outcome of the presidential election. In fact, Scholastic readers have been wrong only twice. In 1948, kids picked Thomas E. Dewey over President Harry S. Truman. And in 1960, more students voted for Richard M. Nixon than for the eventual president, John F. Kennedy..."
Or rather, desperate to put out something that might save her sinking ship.
But here's the thing, nobody is paying attention to the pollsters. It's jobs, cost of obamacare, crooked politicians, terrorists and illegal immigration. Hillary loses on every one of these issues.
Paying attention to polls or not doesn't have any effect on their accuracy.
I'm liking this. Hillary's support/enthusiasm is eroding yet people are still saying she's guaranteed to win. Those with a little motivation left might as well stay home. They aren't really enthused and she's going to win anyway.
I agree. Trump's supporters, in poll after poll, are more motivated than Hillary's, which is why I wasn't worried about the clearly flawed ABC News Poll from last week (amid others polls, which had a sample size of Dems outnumbering Republicans at levels even higher than Obama's margin of victory in 2012) showed Trump 12 points down (of course, that same poll now only has Hillary up by 1 ). Note, even if Hillary wins (and I'm not convinced that she will), the election will be tight. Trump is already in a good position to win Ohio and Iowa (states that haven't gone GOP in a while). Additionally, new polls out today have him back in the lead in NC; honestly, given how much black voter turnout is down in NC, there is no way that Trump loses that state). While I think Trump will win FL, I'm not as sold on a Trump FL win as I am in the aforementioned states (which would doom his campaign), although recent polling there also has him back in the lead . . . note, black turnout is down in FL, too, which spells trouble for the Dems and Dems are not underperforming their position in that state from 2012 when Obama barely won it, so I wouldn't be too excited about that either. All in all, win or lose, Moody's Analytics prediction that Trump wins the same number of EC votes as Romney is laughable.
