We learned in 2012 that you will only be paying attention on Oct 20th if the polls and betting markets show you what you want to see. Otherwise, you will just bury your head in the sand until election day, and disappear for a few months afterwards. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Come now. If Trump's supporters want to hang themselves, the polite thing to do is give them some rope and get out of the way. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Translation If Trump were even or ahead, the polls are important to EB If Trump is behind, polls are meaningless to EB lol Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Yes - remember last month when Trump was briefly ahead in the national polls.... EB was highlighting every single one. Hillary has taken back her lead and now polls don't matter anymore. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Some in Utah say "Utah is a red state, not a red-necked state." As mostly members of a minority religion in the country, they may have been offended at all Trump's attacks on Muslims. They certainly have been the victims of such bigotry in their history. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

But Trump is doing very well in the polls. Just weeks ago Hillary was beating him by 20 points, now in most of them it's a statistical dead heat. He's doing very well indeed. And this far out it really doesn't mean anything. Hillary hasn't been indicted yet, or even interviewed by the head of the FBI. And they just opened a 2nd investigation last week. We have all that to look forward to. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12535 | Here's an article on that Utah poll: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/06/13/this-new-poll-utah-poll-is-amazingly-bad-for-donald-trump/ Trump & Hillary are tied at 35%, Gary Johnson gets 13% Do I think Hillary could win Utah? Doubtful. But it'll be interesting to see if maybe she'll have a campaign stop or two there to make Trump play defense in a state that Republicans usually win by 30 points. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

How is that different from vote intentions in this case? Presumably since the betting is taking place outside the US, and is open to people who can't vote in the election. Regardless, what's a good price for Clinton? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12535 | New Bloomberg poll: Clinton 49%, Trump 37% Can you imagine if the results were flipped? EB would be doing backflips of joy. Polls would matter to him then. ;) “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
