The shine has worn off? Did you vote for him? Or is that an empirical 'we'....?

Why are you going after USA Today, and calling it "propaganda"? USA Today didn't conduct the polls; they are merely reporting what the pollsters said.

We all know polls can be wrong. Five-thirty Eight rates Florida Atlantic as "B/C", meaning not very reliable. Marquette Law on the other hand gets "A/B", which means they are usually accurate.

.
Anyone with a computer can see the details. For example, the Wisconsin poll:

https://law.marquette.edu/poll/wp-co...57Toplines.pdf

800 total respondents, 91% registered to vote

There are 13 pages of demographic information at the end, including party affiliation:

28% Dem
26% Repub
39% independent

also info on age, religion, race, marital status, education, etc etc

OF course, I would take a USA Today poll with a grain of salt...same as I take the polls conducted by conservative pundits that show Trump winning in those states.


Rasmeussen always show Trump's approval rating higher than anyone else. But if you follow the trend -- it tells a story. And so you take that 'propaganda' with a grain of salt too.

As far as a reign of terror goes, spend some time in a 3rd world country...you might reevaluate that statement!
It is beginning to look a lot like 3 rd world right now.

who cares? USA Today had Clinton with a 10 point lead over Trump a couple weeks before the 2016 election. This looks good for Trump.

I detest Trump and freely admit that the only thing that would make me vote for him is a gun to my head or if Warren or San dress wins the nomination.

That said, one needs to question the poll, it's source and who took part.

Trump while vile does enjoy solid support. I think mostly because the democrats areas vile even more vile.

I'm fortunate. I have moved and invested most of my money overseas. It helps to have relatives that you trust who are not US citizens. This circus of insanity that is running for President should make people with investments very afraid.

My son is lucky, LOL I sold him my house for a dollar. His inheritance delivered early. The dems hate it when people inherit, unless it is them.

Never trust a poll, especially one from the media.

Remember when polls were saying that Hillary would win by a landslide in 2016?

Good Times

You actually think election polls are not suppose to change in two years? Don't be surprised if the same poll changes next summer and favors Trump after the Democrat for president has been selected.
