And it just does not get better for Comrade Donald

[JakeStarkey]

. . . does it? The RCP averaging ever since the conventions just piles on Red Donnie.

I liked what he said in LA, that is how a president wannabee should act: not about him, but about the people in strife and those helping them. Good show, Donald! And I understand what you were saying when you issued the "what do you have to lose?" challenge, even if it was poorly structured (better ways to say it).

But, Donald, you have to convince the 70% of us that are scared of you that you really do care about all Americans, that you really do have a social conscience to all Americans and to American values.

Convince me of that, and I will reconsider.

I don't believe the RCP average is a valid evaluation of polls but the trend would show the race tightening.

Yo Fake, Aug 10th Shittlary was ahead by 8.0....it is getting better for Trump.

Not overall in the swing stakes, SIL. It is going the other way. He needs to keep doing what he has done the last few days. If he can maintain that and not revert to "I can say anything I want, fuck you very nicely," who knows where it will go.

Dekster is entitled to his opinion, but the numbers are valid.

It's Hillary's turn! Right, Jake?

he's getting crushed in pretty much all the swing states right now. I don't see the dial moving much at this point.

Of course it doesn't, hairy back.

Let's see if Trump can continue in the right path for the next week or so, and look at the polls again.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Just remember, if the Dems didn't schlong Hillary in 2008, she would be ending her second term and Obama would be running now.

That may be important later

This race will tighten considerably. You know a shitstorm of an offensive against Clinton is coming, and there's no end to American's short term memories which will allow them to forgive and forget Trump's idiocy and 100% buy into Trump 2.0.
Of course Trump's debate performances (if he doesn't bail) will be epic failures when matched against a much more knowledgeable and experienced Clinton, so we'll see how this all comes out, but I don't think the polls mean much until after the debates.
Even then it will,probably come down to the battle of October surprises. They're both exceptionally weak candidates, prone to be taken out with a new scandal.

Today's Reuters poll ... Clinton +12.
