I am not worried at all because I think this is Trump's highest point he will ever reach and then he will collapse shortly after the debates. So as I said, if you like seeing Trump ahead, better enjoy it.

I'm not a Democrat, but I'm extremely worried.

It's been a stressful few days, but we'll see what happens. Agree this is a low point right now. Also I like that Clinton seems to be recalibration her message a little after "reflection"

I mean he's enjoying a great confluence of events boosting his candidacy and he still can't manage a national polling lead. Polling this cycle has been, well, cyclical, so I'm not concerned overly much. Hopefully the tightening combats any tendency from Democrats to get complacent in the lead up to election day.

He's going to point towards Hillary's arrogance, the mysterious deaths throughout her husband's administration, and her support for the Iraq War.  Clinton doesn't have the temperament to handle it.

Polls go up and they go down, but Clinton has almost always been in the lead.

I am not worried.

Ah listen to them try to rationalize this.  Polls go up and down?  I didn't hear Democrats saying that when she led Sanders by 60 points a year ago.

The overreaction of Hillary supporters on this forum to a couple days of bad polling is almost as unbearable as the hard-on Trump supporters have right now. Seriously, guys, it should take more than this to get worried.

Their hard-on is unbearable?  In what way?

Primaries have always been more volatile than general elections, where massive sections of the electorate are locked in for one candidate or another. This general election, especially, has seen a cyclic pattern, where polls shift between roughly C+8 and roughly a tie every several weeks.

Yes and not until Trump has been up by a few have Democrats decided to acknowledge that.  Notice how they're suddenly saying "they go up and down."  You'd think she'd already locked up the election last year.

Nope. I have been saying the same thing even before the RNC.

I've heard nothing from Democrats other than bragging about the polls for a year.  Now they're whining about unfairness in the media.

Not worried that much. I will wait for the first debate's polling effects before I make any decision to start being worried or not.

First debates are what matter the most out of the three.

Interesting how much this poster knows about what we've been doing for the past year, when he's allegedly only been on the forum for a couple of days. Hmmmmm...

The people that believe the Clinton conspiracy theories are people who would never vote for any democrat, ever. Most Republicans I've known didn't even believe them. I do think her support for Iraq has the potential to come back to bite, especially if she fails to properly illustrate that Trump was also in favor.
