Clinton went down a few points from the 24th, probably related to all this indictment news, Trump is still around where he's been for the past few weeks. Though the difference between 44% to 41% and 37% to 40% is pretty hard to interpret.

The number of polls that have Trump in the 39-41 range is crazy, it's practically all of them. Hillary's numbers have a much wider range, something like 41-51.

My own expectation is that 40% is about Trump's ceiling. He will gradually slide downwards from there on to November, as people increasingly get fed up with him and drift away. I think he'll end up somewhere around 35% in the end.

I just don't see anyone new jumping on the Trump bandwagon at this point, only jumping off.

nothing new in the article, but great tactic to go after Jared Kushner. 100% he stays silent, but would be very interesting if he or Ivanka made a statement

the Trump family dynamics of this moment are going to be the best part of the future tell-all book on this campaign. Does trump refuse to admit a mistake was made and refuse apologize to his orthodox jewish daughter, orthodox jewish son-in-law, and grandson??

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Actually it's just recognizing that the numbers haven't shifted more than the margin of error.

A poll can be performed perfectly and still fall outside the margin of error, outliers are actually to be expected. You don't disregard them but you don't assume they're a new normal.

Yes.

DaveWoo posted:

And but also yes.

Trump, and CNN, are symptoms of the psychology of the Republican base. At worst they are symbionts. This is just another bursting bubble in the boiling pot of racism in American history. Their problem is, just like boiling water, they are expending and eradicating themselves without any knowledge of it or ability to stop it.

It's gonna be one hell of a show.

Paul Begala was on David Axelrods podcast this weekend, he said his goal for Priorities PAC was giving Trump a ceiling of ~40%. Seems like it's working so far.

No but they are done cheaply and it takes a huge sample size to distinguish between a 1-2 point difference.

so you know that means that it is quite possible that there hasn't really been an actual shift in the numbers?

so saying this is statistical noise isn't the same thing as tacking on 5 points to a point because of difference in party polled?

The smart thing for Trump to do would be to develop some message discipline and talk only about what the actual findings of the FBI investigation suggest about Hillary's trustworthiness.

The dumb thing for Trump to do would be to rant about a CONSPIRACY and flail around yelling that the whole system is bullshit because she isn't in prison right now

So far he has chosen the latter way.
