Hillary is planning to begin serious campaigning very soon right? Letting Trump shoot himself in the dick in the aftermath of the DNC worked great but its clear that he's adjusted his aim. She can't continue to let him just dominate the news cycles if he's going to just play prevent defense the entire time. All this time spent fundraising better be worth it for these next two months.

She's been campaigning hard, just targeting the local media not the national media.

As an addendum, I believe that many people who claim themselves to be Atheists actually mean they're Agnostic - people who believe that the existence (or lack thereof) of God is unknowable.

Unknowable and irrelevant, because its pretty obvious that even if god exists, he doesn't really give a gently caress about the wellbeing of mankind.

For the first time something in this election hit close to home. Unfortunately it was from the Trump campaign. Stephen Bannon's comments about the seven sisters infuriated me. I've been leaning Trump for a while, but hiring Stephen Bannon was a poor decision.

Adding insult to injury, it's being reported that Trump rode out of the Mexican state palace on a helicopter reserved for dignitaries and heads of state.

As an agnostic my contribution to the discussion is that Christianity is basically responsible for the entire body of western scholastic tradition, even to this very day, so to deny religion's positive impact on humanity is to literally deny the beneficial aspects of every part of the culture you participate in today

A lot of my atheist peers can't wrap their head around this and think I'm nuts

It really doesn't matter if the poll was commissioned by Fox if it was a reputable pollster.

But yes, if the race is tightening to 2-3 points nationally it is time to start worrying that state polls may also start trending that way

The Fox News Poll is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R). The poll was conducted by telephone with live interviewers August 28-30, 2016 among a random national sample of 1,011 registered voters (RV).

Hillary has been using the time to work on all the non glamorous parts of campaigning while Trump's been shooting himself in the dick near constantly for the last month or so. For instance, these are the battleground office counts.



Edit: If I had to guess, operation greasy orange smear doesn't fully commence until after the first debate. Which is where the opo research library on Trump finally sees the light of day.

How many of those are GOP offices that the Trump camp are claiming as their own?

That lead of 2 points is from the four-way poll. Head to head Clinton is up 6 in the same poll. Since polls ALWAYS overestimate how much the third party candidates get compared to Election Day I wouldn't put much stock in any 4 way poll.

These are misleading because it doesn't compare the number of offices in Alaska, Hawaii and Israel!
