The "interferance" they are citing is along the lines of buying facebook ads. NO ONE is citing anything of any seriousness, and by those standards, you can probably claim that multiple countries have interfered in every election. You have been duped. Please research it with a clear mind and discover the truth.

OK thanks, always good to have input from the tin foil hat folks.....


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I do stand by my point, there are many people out there that you and I both know that say they are not voting for Trump out of fear of being labeled a racist. But when they get to the booth the vote Trump.

But, I do believe he has sent a group on a fact-finding mission regarding storage of military arms in the Pyramids that used to be used to store grain.

Oh, you mean the disgusting and unpresidential things that come out of his mouth on a daily basis?

Yeah I wonder why that's a turnoff.

To win re-election, Trump probably has to have the anti-Trump vote split by a significant third party race.



wishful thinking......a poll 2 years before an election? LOL


the fact is Trump is being constant attacked and in the media but he holds his support steady like 2016......the big Democrat primary hasn't started and when they start attacking each other with negative ads in a long primary with the corporate democrats vs the progressives of the party that will last until July/2020 those numbers will come down by a lot . Get the popcorn ready.



back in 2014 the polls said Jeb Bush would win the GOP nomination easily and reality was that he didn't even come 3rd place in the first 3 contests and dropped out quick.

Unfortunately, Trump might get the third party candidate he needs if Starbucks Man runs a third party race. He’s definitely needs someone to siphon off 5% to 10% of the non-Trump vote. Reagan was about the only President since the era of Presidential Polling began to increase his approval significantly in the last 2 years of his first term. Reagan had to deal with a recession. Trump has a great economy and yet has never touched 50% in his first 2 years.

Trump's looking back at his 40% ratings with great fondness, now that his ratings are down to 34%, the lowest ever in the history of polls.

He's got his work cut out for him with his messaging skills. If he doesn't get his favorability up to 50%, he won't win in 2020. No one ever has will polls this low this late in the day.

Got to hand it to the poor desperate Democrats. Pollsters had them so thoroughly convinced that Trump had no chance of winning, they were all knocked on their ass when he did. And some of us here said why here the entire time. Yet they decide to do it again.



Now, because they have nothing but various "memes" running again this time, yet again the are taking in the nonsense from the pollsters just like they still believe the MSM without thought or question.



And after election day in Nov 2020, we will be laughing at them again.
