News of Trump’s 5 Point Lead Today in Ohio..

Just when I felt Trump was toast..and..I was beginning to place a permanent smile on my face for the remainder of the Presidential Race... I read the post concerning Trump’s lead this am.

Did any others around here feel he was about done?

Well... Its back to the phones to work even harder today..

Perhaps this poll will wake many others as well and is a blessing in disguise...
Everyone needs to be doing something on a daily basis to put this horrid man out of our collective minds.

Kellyanne Con away has been working the pollsters I'm sure. That's her specialty. A pollster.

Loaded questions, guided answers. Selective people polled. Whatever it takes.

Look at the stats on his support with AMs, latinos, women etc

Get people out to vote and VOTE POSTAL!

It's just super frustrating. I also read that supposedly HRC now only holds a 1 point lead over Trump. I don't know how reliable that information is, but you can bet your bottom dollar that will be plastered all over the MSM, making it seem like a dead even horse race.

Perhaps that is what the MSM want, but to me it's scary as hell that they are all propping Trump up. I take nothing for granted...

Get. Out. The. Vote.

In Ohio and everywhere else. Blue state. Red state. Purple state. Every vote counts. Every vote matters.
We have everything to lose and nothing to gain.

Not just campaign slogans but a very real strategy to win.

this morning,what the heck. Started to check to see their Methods. Talk about loaded,did polling,this sucker is so fake,but,someone in the Media wanted a talking point and they got it. When the Governor says Trump is toast,well that should be the answer.

I am not saying it isn't close, but that this poll is mediocre.

Polling the popular vote is great for the 5:00 news and coffee-table discussions, but the it's the projections for the electoral votes in a presidential election that contain the meat, the bones, the veggies, the spices and the sauce of the stew... the popular vote is simply the napkins on someone's lap.

And should one decide to look at the current projections for the electoral vote, it's brighter than Darwin's brain on a good day.
