Last week, FBI Director James Comey's admission that Hillary Clinton was "extremely careless" with sensitive intelligence information and that he was choosing to recommend she not be prosecuted was greeted as a victory for the Clinton campaign. But it might have been the beginning of the end. As Mediaite reports, the latest Quinnipiac polls are out, and they show a massive swing for New York billionaire Donald Trump. Via Mediaite:
New polling data released this morning from Quinnipiac University paints a bleak picture for the Democratic nominee in key swing states when compared to her GOP counterpart, Donald Trump. The states — Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania — are expected to play major roles in the November general election, and as always could tip the balance of the electoral college one way or another.
Here is a look at some of the numbers of Quinnipiac’s newest findings:
OVERALL
FLORIDA: Clinton 39%, Trump 42%
OHIO: Clinton 41%, Trump 41%
PENNSYLVANIA: Clinton 41%, Trump 43%
Clinton enjoyed an 8 point lead in the state of Florida only a month ago, but now trails Trump in overall support there.
Hillary's biggest failure? Her inability to convince voters she's trustworthy. Shocking right?
On the question on who is more honest and trustworthy, Trump is dominating with double-digit leads in all three states:
HONEST & TRUSTWORTHY
FLORIDA: Trump 50%, Clinton 37%
OHIO: Trump 47%, Clinton 37%
PENNSYLVANIA: Trump 49%, Clinton 34%
It appears that Comey's decision not to prosecute Hillary has been a boon for Trump, who has argued throughout this election that the game is rigged in favor of the politicians and special interests and against ordinary Americans. If Trump can keep hammering that message home, he may soon find himself ahead in the polls.

At this point in time Donald Trump has more of a path to victory. National polls are meaningless. It's the handful of swing states to pay attention to. If Trump carries FL,OH and PA he has enough electoral votes to win.
ReplyDeleteNot only does Donald Trump have the path to victory the Convention is going to be like none other. Each day is going to be themed i.e. Benghazi, Bill Clinton's infidelities, and so on. It's composed, well planned, choreographed and directed like nothing anyone has ever seen. Donald Trump does nothing unless it's 100 percent and this convention is another example. It will go down in history as the most watched convention ever.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's in the link but Quinnipiac also polled with 3rd party candidates and they hurt Clinton a lot more then Trump.
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
ReplyDeleteI hear that train a comin'. Keep on stokin' the engines, boys!
ReplyDeleteClinton is thoroughly unlikable. Her hag screeching voice is irritating to all sexes and species of good taste and refinement. She reminds most Americans of a hated ex-spouse or mother-in-law. Nag nag nag nag nag. The more she is exposed the more people will not want her around and will gravitate towards Donald because Donald has stage presence. Some of the supposed gaffs he's uttered, or the media playing gotcha would have sunk men of lesser charisma. He's defied all logic in his success thus far. Trump can save us from annihilation at the hands of the Hildabeast Hag and the Demorats.
ReplyDeleteHillary has earned the distrust of the American people. It's just too bad that many who plan to vote for her have shut their eyes and ears to the truth.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump will win Ohio after Clinton's people riot, pillage, loot and burn Cleveland to the ground next week at the GOP convention.
ReplyDeleteAs long as he kinda keeps quiet for a few weeks and let her constantly shoot herself in the foot, he should blow her out of the water.
ReplyDeleteYou silly people seem to think that the VOTING matters.
ReplyDeleteMay I remind you that you will be "voting" on computers?
All depends on who is doing the poling and the methodology. Polls during the same periods show Hillary ahead of tRump by as much as 10 points. Polls also said Britain would remain in the EU. Nothing is certain until the votes are counted except that MD electoral college votes will go to Hillary.
ReplyDeleteThe polls were off in Britain because people were in fear of retaliation if they say they wanted out of the EU. Some suspect this is going on in the Hispanic/Latino and Black communities as well and Trumps numbers are actually higher in those polling groups.
ReplyDeleteThis poll was done by Rasmussen so the methodology is not suspect. They do their own polls as opposed to companies like ABC/FOX/CNN etc that hire out polling companies and pollsters who follow guidelines submitted by the company. A lot of people do not know that while every single poll done in MD during the governors race had Larry Hogan down the campaign's internal polling had him winning and win he did.
Rasmussen has been consistently correct. Last election they only had Romney ahead once and it was in a national poll (not the battleground states) a few months before the election. Right after that he dropped back down and never regained a lead.
