    It sure isn't almost 1/3 more democrat than republican. What would make one think it is?

    That's why I asked you the question, you keep making these statements as fact but it seems to just be your opinion.

    54%+ support Trump on the economy to 40.7% that don't. Money talks and BS walks.

    Probably something like this.

    In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat or an independent?

    The "truth" is subjective.

    You can always add 8% to 10% positive for Trump when it comes to polling because the formula polls mostly democrats, then independents, and then republicans.

    One day the Repubs claim victory with a poll the next they are defaming a poll that doesn't agree with them...Make up yer damn minds already with the polls.

    Clearly...

    Stock market - record highs and still going
    Black unemployment - record low
    Latino unemployment - record low
    Female unemployment - record low
    Total unemployment - lowest in several decades
    Economy - booming
    Jobs - booming

    Which of these do you not like, and why? And which of these mean America is in a decline?

    This is how all polls are these days. That's why the only people who live by polls are democrats. The rest of us have enough sense to know they're partisan.

    You can start with the 2016 polls...

    All the pollsters took polls in each state and combined them to say Hillary would beat Trump in a landslide in the electoral college. You guys have done a fine job spinning that to say the polls were talking about popular vote when we all know that the popular vote doesn't determine the outcome of presidential election, so the polls wouldn't be dumb enough to go by that.

    See any poll data. It's a very well known fact. And it's why they were so inaccurate in 2016.

    So no source, just opinion and assumption.

    So looking at the MOE from the polls which average out at 3.2% those polls are not really that far off from the percentages in 2018 May 1-10. Here is a more recent one although it doesn’t discuss independents (couldn’t find one from Gallup that did): https://news.gallup.com/poll/267239/democrats-hold-edge-party-affiliation-3rd-quarter.aspx

    The reason Tulsi is being dismissed is that she isn't for further US actions that continue to stir up Arab/Muslim instability.

    Obama was an Alawite sympathizer and it showed in ever single policy that he promoted in the Middle East.

    The NY TIMES endorsed two candidates... Combined, they may be able take out Bernie in Iowa.

    I have to wonder what the Bernie Bro supporters are thinking right now... This is the second campaign in a row where the DNC has spiked his punch.

    A poll is a guess using algebraic equations to determine an outcome and yes they are inaccurate because there is too many variables.

    FYI, there is no real meaning in general election numbers. They mean nothing in relation to the electoral college.

    I can't recall 'defaming' a Gallup poll. Maybe you can show me where I did?
