A Fox News poll shows Mrs. Clinton with a 10-point lead, with Mr. Trump at 78% of the Republican vote, compared with Mitt Romney’s 93% in 2012.

Mr. Romney won the white vote by 20 points; Mr. Trump is ahead by 10. And mind you, this is FOX NEWS, not a lefty network like NBC! What chance does he have if he can't even get white people to vote for him?

    Hello Stu:

    We're witnessing the destruction of right wing America.  When Clinton appoints the 4 Supreme Court judges, left wing policy will be ENTRENCHED in our society for the balance of the 21st Century..  This was the BIG one, and they LOST.

    What's CRAZY, is that we had a PREVIEW of this with Sharron Angel, and that Todd guy who said women can't get pregnant if they're raped... Not learning from those candidates, they tried it on the big stage.  Nobody is surprised at this outcome - or at least they SHOULDN'T be.

    That is hilarious. 

    You watch FOX News.   Can you say slanted?  MSNBC and FOX News are on a teeter totter and FOX weighs half as much.  (SLANTED)

    Trump is going down in popularity in front of all of our eyes and we don't need a chart to figure that one out, nor statistics.  I'm sure his popularity is far lower than that now.  No one cares about what he thinks, says or does any longer.   He is toast.

  • FOX is as establishment as it gets. They will pay some lip service to the republican candidate to placate their core audience. Though the bosses don't really want him to win. FOX is part of the system just like everything else.

    Opinion polls are not very accurate. Trump is un-PC so a lot of people will be afraid to admit who they support out of fear of being smeared by leftists.

    The mainstream media lies about polls to take advantage of the stupid desire people have to be on the winning side. Opinion polls are self fulfilling.

    Opinion polls don't capture how likely the supporters are to actually get out and vote. Trump is a controversial figure, though so is HRC. A lot of leftists are pissed about Sanders being pushed aside. Both candidates are having trouble uniting their parties.

    HRC is putting everything into demonizing Trump. She knows that the grass roots aren't really enthusiastic about her. She knows that her best shot at getting her vote out is "anyone but Trump" sentiment.

    "Anyone but Hillary" has teeth too.

    Alas, he is not smoking anything. He is demonstrating motivated numeracy.

  • OS- Did it ever occur to you that you might be vulnerable to the same effects? Or is your brain somehow special?

    Did it occur to you that you and Stu might be seeing what you wish to see? Trump has a bad week and you're just ready to write him off? We all know opinion polls can suffer wild swings. So who knows what will happen?

    We have been evolving for millions of years. Did it occur to you that our brains wouldn't operate that way unless there were some benefit to it? Did you it occur to you that if being Mr Spock truly was optimal for human decision making, humans would have evolved to be completely robotic rationalists?

    Did it occur to you that someone who would immediately change their mind about something when presented with some contradictory evidence would be a changeable gullible idiot?

    OK, AS, wake us up when Trump goes ahead in the polls. And speaking of seeing what you wish to see, what part of Trump's imploding campaign are you missing?

    Austrian School says: "Did it occur to you that someone who would immediately change their mind about something when presented with some contradictory evidence would be a changeable gullible idiot?"
    Trump has changed his mind on everything. Not just when presented with evidence, but when confronted with tough questions, also. "Changeable, gullible idiot" is exactly how I would describe him! I have nothing against an intelligent conservative argument. Indeed, I have usually voted for the Conservatives over here, because I don't want Britain to go back to the mess Labour and the unions made of it when I was growing up. But Trump is a babbling idiot who has nothing to offer but insults, lies and half-baked schemes. How the hell can anyone take that clown seriously?

  • Before election day, Clinton will have a better than 20 point advantage. This is one election where the gap never closes and you have a winner virtually by default. Sometimes the bad guys win big. This is one of those times.

    "Sometimes the bad guys win big."

    Bad guys? Clinton is much more ready and qualified for the presidency than Trump, which is partly why she has such a big lead, and she's the bad guy? You sure you have your head screwed on straight? You really want him having access to nuclear launch codes?
