The latest polling data from Reuters finds voters shifting support to Donald Trump in the days following the Orlando terrorist attack.
Prior to the attack, Hillary Clinton led Trump by almost 15 points in the Reuters tracking survey. In the latest results, Clinton leads Trump by 10 points.
The results run counter to the media narrative since the terrorist attack in Florida. Politico, for example, has run half-a-dozen stories this week exploring how Trump “flubbed” his response to the attack. Voters, however, don’t simply look at snap political statements in the wake of significant events to gauge candidates. The specifics of events themselves can shift the political landscape.
The Reuters survey is based on a five-day rolling average of interviews with around 1,200 likely voters. Most polls capture a snap-shot of the race within a small window of time. Many of the polls released this week included a large number of interviews conducted prior to the Orlando attack.

Please don't overestimate the voter intellect.
ReplyDeleteA poll that has Hillary ahead of common sense American Donald Trump has got to be skewed from the start. Where was this poll taken, at the Welfare waiting room?
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing everyday from the MSM that Trump is losing to Hillary. I know I can trust them, they wouldn't skew the reusults to help their candidate.
