More confirmation that the Hillary win is a figment of someone demented imagination.

Over the past few years, we have both become interested in how data from the internet, particularly Google searches, might be used to predict events. People also tell Google things — a lot of things — that they may not admit to others. So can we use Google searches to predict whom voters will support in this election? It is not as simple as we’d hoped.
One indicator of support might be how frequently people search for a candidate. There is some evidence that if they search for you, they will vote for you. In primary elections, Google search volume for a candidate in a state has predicted electoral outcomes. It is also true that in each of the past three general elections, the candidate with the most Google searches — George W. Bush in 2004 and Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 — received the most votes.
This time around, nationwide, for every Google search about Hillary Clinton, there are two for Mr. Trump.
Your "confirmation" is confirmation bias.
You are looking for information that confirms your bias and you are ignoring information that contradicts your bias.
Remember this when Trump gets crushed on election day.
Lol, you make that unwarranted statement without giving even one example of a piece of data that I am ignoring.
The polls are in a variation of +4% for Trump all the way out to +12% for Hillary which is just horse shit. I would bet the house that Clinton wont win by more than 8%.
But she could be ahead by 4% in Reality regarding to what people would vote if they could vote online or push a magic button. But is she ahead among those people who will get off their ass and go stand in line for hours to vote for her? No, I seriously doubt that. I doubt that 80% of the black population will show up and vote for her and that goes for Hispanics and homosexuals, groups that Obama took by larger proportions than Hillary is pulling even in the rigged polls.
This election is not over and the current political system is not set up to handle a large influx of new voters with 80% of them going for one man; Donald Trump.
First, here is no evidence that there has been this massive surge of new voter registration amongst whites. In fact, 538 looked at this, and concluded that there as underperformance in new white voter registration. However, there has been a surge in Hispanic voter registration, and Hillary is leading Trump amongst Hispanics by 4:1.
Second, if Hillary wins by 8, she's going to crush Trump. Most of these poll averages have her ahead by 6-9. There has never been a time in modern political history where a candidate has come from that far down in the final two weeks of the campaign. Yes, there could be a swing of 3-4 points in the polls, but they could got to Hillary too. Thus far, early voting seems to be favoring Democrats in Florida and NC, and recent polls have her leading in Arizona and within the margin of error in Texas.
Google searches and rally attendances mean little. They are more likely to measure the intensity of support, not the breadth of support.
If - when - Hillary crushes Trump, it will have been there for all to see. But most Trump supporters will refuse to believe it. Instead, they'll whine about fraud and the election being rigged.
