Just listened to my elderly mother literally go on a rampage about how she doesn't buy any of these polls and that they are all rigged, she referenced the fact she's never got a call from "fox news" as her proof of claims..
it escalated into her literally screaming for me to shut up as she turned the news louder. This is what makes me despise the far-right base of the GOP. For s sake its impossible to reason.
I see this thinking with my relatives too, and it goes to show that a lot of people actually believe in what Stephen Colbert called "truthiness" - real truth coming from gut feelings, not cold hard facts and figures. If you just feel like Donald Trump is going to win and the polls are all rigged, then that is the truth. If you feel like only the L.A. Times poll is accurate, that is the truth.
I'll feel so bad for them on election day when the polls are proven right and then some.
I will say - the number who identify indies is kind of low, but it would only make a 1 or 2 point difference considering Trump has a 6 point lead among independents.
' Is it bad that I actually am looking forward to their anger and disappointment? I've never been someone who takes politics or partisanship that personally but this is Donald Fricken Trump we're talking about; I'm done with having sympathy for people who are idiotic enough to put that man anywhere near leading our country. I wouldn't have felt the same way about McCain or Romney supporters.

This poll looks like where the race is at. I don't see trump dropping anymore. This debate will make it or break it for him.. tons of hillary wikileaks to use against her.. i'm excited for this old hag to go down.
So you are just going to ignore all the other polls showing up down by high single-to-double digits? And I wouldn't get too excited about Wikileaks. Most of the emails are boring and non-stories and judging by the Trump media trend and ominous wording from various media folks, bad Trump stories are likely going to keep coming out until election day. She is a crook and will use anyone for a vote.
lol! Trump is everything you call Clinton and more. There is a trail of stiffed contractors where ever he goes. I don't know how you rationalize his behavior in your head yet still call out Clinton for the same things. It must be a circus in up there.
