    This goes to show how pissed off a lot of americans are. they dont care that trump is a con man, a liar, etc. Hillary is all those things too, and people are just tired of the establishment

    A lot of those polls have data sets that are prior to her 9/11 health meltdown, if you notice the polls that started after 9/11 show Trump up much bigger...

    Those LA times polls are pulling his average up even though they are WAY out of line with every other poll.

    The LA Times poll's data sets are the simply the first polls with a majority of data sets after Clinton's meltdown and insults to Americans. Expect to see more of the same or worse. People really just don't like her...

    And at least a couple of polls are consistent outliers lowering his numbers so at the end they balance each other out. What's important is the trend and it's quite obvious that Hillary has lost a double digit advantage and is tied with Trump nationally and in swing states, or worse.

    Last week when Hillary fell, I told the leftists of the forum to mark my words-she would fall like it was cool.

    Even though it was pretty obvious, lefties were eager to say she would actually be fine.

    Im not hearing from said lefties this week.

    I prefer this one which includes Johnson and Stein which are on the ballot.

    Besides, Clinton is up by 0.7%.

    A ridiculous outlier that shouldn't even be used in the RCP average.

    You have two candidates thanks to our two major parties that the majority of Americans do not want to be their next president. They realize they must choose, so around 12-15% of Americans are taking the third option, third party candidates they never heard of before only because their last name isn't Trump or Clinton.

    If the GOP had nominated a decent candidate, he would be up by 10 over Hillary and the reverse is also true. If the Democrats had nominated a decent candidate which was a bit better liked than Hillary, he also would be up by ten points and probably bring the senate and the House under Democratic control.

    Myself, I don't give a dang which one wins, one is just as bad as the other. Whoever wins will have to do so without my vote. It is going to Gary Johnson.

    They will level out to be the same old same old election. The RCP average is not exactly the best barometer.

    There was a tightening prior to Clinton's insults and total health meltdown. I don't think the LA Times polls is an outlier, more like the first of many, if you're into polls. Personally I don't trust any polls this cycle...

    Trump was recovering his people that had previously supported him but distanced themselves when asked. They were going to vote for him anyway. His support in poll yo yos. This is really the first time we have seen Clinton actually falling across the board in polls. Trump isn't picking up her supporters though. He is just retaking the same ground he had before.

    There actually are quite a few people that are concerned about Clinton's health, and don't believe the pneumonia story. Her insults are bound to turn away sensible moderates as well, or push them to third parties...

    In the end, but in polling, they are probably moving toward Johnson. No way he will perform as well as he is polling come election day.

    There's nothing in the constitution that says the president has to be alive.
