Donald Trump Continues to Dip in Polls as Hillary Clinton Firms Her Lead

Polls show that fervor for Trump has tanked.

Hillary Clinton is ahead of Donald Trump by 11 points, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, which comes a little more than three weeks before the presidential election.

Conducted after the second presidential debate, the NBC News/WSJ poll finds Clinton leading Trump among likely voters 48% to 37%. Trump’s support in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll remained roughly the same since controversy exploded over Trump’s treatment of women. The two candidates remain close in that poll, with Clinton polling at 47% to Trump’s 43% because of partisan preferences.

Donald Trump’s ‘Locker Room Talk’ Was the Last Straw for Many Young Voters

Both polls show that fervor for Trump has tanked in the aftermath of a video of the Republican nominee making crude comments to describe women and as multiple women have accused him of sexual assault. Two-thirds of registered voters reject Trump’s denial of making unwanted sexual advances toward women, the ABC News/Washington Post poll said.

The margin of error for the NBC News/WSJ poll is plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. The margin of error for the ABC News/Washington Post poll is 3 percentage points for the full sample.

It is glorious to watch him sink lower than a snakes belly in a wagon wheel rut.

But...but....but.....polls don't matter!  And....they're all rigged!  Well...all of them except the LA Times poll.

But...but....but.....polls don't matter!  And....they're all rigged!  Well...all of them except the LA Times poll.   

And even the LA Times poll shows that Trump has been dropping steadily against Clinton, to the point where the difference in the latest poll - 0.6% (i.e., less than one percentage point) - is well within the margin of error and thus statistically irrelevant.

I expect the polls are much worse for Trump than announced.  At this point the liberal media has an interest oversampling Republican voters so the race is closer.  Hitlery is so hated that, if the voters think she has the win secured, they won't go out and vote.

It sucks that good people will be forced to suffer the stupidity of Trump supporters but so be it. Maybe lesser evil idiots will get their head out of their dark places next time after enough pain. If thats what it takes, well, they brought it on America. Not us. We are 100% blameless.

Its during these next two weeks when the most watched polls dial-in on what normally ends up being accurate polling data. From this point on its all about winning the polling accuracy game that matters to them.   It's only get worse for Trump and will continue to go south if he can't put all these harassment accusations behind him and get back on policy.

I wouldn't bet or count on it.   Their chronic HUB Syndrome (Head Up Butt) has now become eternal, if not terminal.  We, the blameless, will suffer right along with the useful idiots.  That 'life isn't fair' is a vast understatement.

Trump has a rape case and a fraud case pending in December.  What are the odds, considering Trump's persona and temperament, that he would be able to 'put it behind him and get back on policy'?  Slim to none would be my bet.
