The most famous gaff.

1948 - Truman runs against Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican nominee in the 1948 presidential election. The scientific pollsters, including George Gallup, all predicted that Dewey would beat Truman. (Gallup had won a dramatic bet by correctly predicting the outcome of the 1936 election.) Newspapers were so sure the pollsters were right that they printed the headline, "Dewey Beats Truman." But they were wrong.

Truman beat Dewey and the race wasn't even that close (Truman won by 3.5 percentage points). What had gone wrong? The pollsters had stopped polling a week before the election. They thought that people's votes would not change before the election.

At this point of their election, the pollsters had Dewy by a landslide. And it was that way until a week before the elections.
There is definitely a chance that a similarly mistaken prediction could occur this year. There are many more polls now, which probably is good, but they're not agreeing with each other anyway.

Hilary is the equivalent of a football team up by 4 touchdowns
They tried to make it look that way but their fraud went up in a puff of smoke. She was ahead back when they had their convention but that lead is gone now that she spends all her time taking a nap and Trump is out working every day.

Why do you place your trust in this one poll
Because this is a daily poll and the polls you are looking at are old and outdated. The women Trump just hired is a expert on polls and getting his approval rating up. She travels with him and she is keeping a tight reign on his tongue to keep him from saying stupid things that will harm his approval rating. There has been a real turn around for him sense he hired her. I really would not be surprised if Trump ends up with a rating of a 86% in something. Remember you heard it here first. Both of the daddy and son Bush had a rating that high when they were fighting terrorism.

I am pretty sure the winner is going to be Trump. Because that is the pattern that I see right now.

He's had a good week, and one poll gives him a within the margin of error lead. But don't count our chickens, I give the same advice to those who are already giving Hillary victory.

To bad I am not wanting to cash in on this because I do seem to be able to come up with original material. It is pretty easy really. It is like a pattern in mosaic tiles. If you see a part of the pattern it is pretty easy to figure the rest of it out.

Anybody can come up with original claims, all you need is a mind to create the same. Having those claims align with well evidenced reality, is another matter.

I will say, your countless claims, that you typically don't support with evidence are quite entertaining.

What are you willing to wager?

Let's do something for fun. The losing poster has to put this in his/her signature for six months:

Please note: I was completely mistaken about ---------- winning the election. Everything I have said has been proven inaccurate. Congratulations to ------------, I will say nothing against them from November 8, 2016 until April 30, 2017.

I'll start a fun thread for this, let's see who will do it.

But it is a daily poll of the same people, and that started off with Trump in the lead, which he lost, and may have regained but it is all within a margin of error.

In contrast, Nate Silver of 538 has been very accurate in the past and has this:
http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/
84.7% of winning the election to Trump's 15.3%

And for California:
http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/california/
99% chance of winning California

Romney's team ignored polls.

A friend mentioned in conversation that Hillary holds no pre controlled press conferences, and her speaking schedule is about half of Trumps.

So I looked.

Trumps schedule
8/20. Fredericksburg, VA
8/22. Akron Ohio
8/23. Aston TX
8/24. Jackson MS

Same time period for Clinton

8/21 Massachusetts

Where is she?

Siberia?

If you need to hang your hat on that, feel free.

Your present President has said Russia is a threat to US,

How?

Because Russia is not prepared to dance to the US fiddle?

How many bases have not US over the World, NATO building up on Russia's doorstep,
in spite of an agreement that it would not expand Eastwrd.

And it is called "Russian aggression".

Russia is today's scapegoat for the West.

I am not a big fan of the current president and his foreign policy has been poor and that is being kind.
