More than half of the country fears a Donald Trump presidency.

Courtesy of the AP:  

More than half the country fears a Trump presidency. And only about a third of Americans believe he is at least somewhat qualified to serve in the White House. 

In the final sprint to Election Day, a new Associated Press-GfK poll underscores those daunting roadblocks for Donald Trump as he tries to overtake Hillary Clinton. 

Moreover, most voters oppose the hard-line approach to immigration that is a centerpiece of the billionaire businessman's campaign. They are more likely to trust Clinton to handle a variety of issues facing the country, and Trump has no advantage on the national security topics also at the forefront of his bid. 

Trump undoubtedly has a passionate base of support, seen clearly among the thousands of backers who fill the stands at his signature rallies. But most people don't share that fervor. Only 29 percent of registered voters would be excited and just 24 percent would be proud should Trump prevail in November. 

Only one in four voters find him even somewhat civil or compassionate, and just a third say he's not at all racist.

Okay so if this is accurate why are Trump's poll numbers so close to Hillary's right now?

I mean even if people don't like Hillary, I seriously doubt that too many of them actually fear having her as President.

This of course just plays into my fantasy of watching Trump faced with an unexpectedly devastating defeat election night, ala Mitt Romney in 2012, and listening while he tries desperately to blame the whole thing on the media and crooked Democrats.

Because when he loses I expect that is exactly what we are going to see.

    "...a third say he's not at all racist"

    And that third is many millions of people. Truly an example of American exceptionalism.

    I think it's because polls are taken on land lines. There aren't as many land lines anymore. And the people who have land lines are older and skew conservative. During the last campaign we srill had a land line and were polled more than once. This time, I don't and haven't been polled once. Polling needs to catch up with technology if it had any chance of being accurate.

      I was polled landline by the LA Times years ago before caller-id came about. How they got my unlisted number, I have no clue.

      My answer was "none of the above," to which he replied that it was not a valid answer. I had to pick one, and he was promptly hung up on.

      Polls mean nothing.

      I have a land line and am a senior voter. No one has ever called me for my opinion as to the presidency for 2017. I've always voted, so know my name is available.

      I'd so love to tell them I'm voting for Hillary Clinton and that I think Trump to be unqualified!

    If there weren't so many polls, I would be more concerned about how close Clinton and the buffoon are. However, since there are new poll results everyday, I'm still convinced that Clinton will win in a landslide. Too many polls are biased and they are used to try to sway the electorate. I really want to see trump criminally indicted and I think it will happen. He was, is, and always will be a con.

  7. The problem is that Clinton's supporters are not so enthusiastic about her. Her' speeches, appearances are very poorly attended. Trump's supporter are fervant. They will travel miles to hear him speak. His tickets are highly prized. Clinton has had to PAY to get people to take up empty seats. If this trend continues to the polling booths, she's toast and we have a Trump presidency. My vote won't count as my state is clearly Democrat. But in those states where it's close, it comes down to who shows up to vote. If it's true that the majority of the country is for Clinton, they'd better let everyone know the one way it counts.

If Trump wins, and right now it's a distinct possibility, looks like they are in the mainstream. You all do realize that Clinton can very possibly lose. She is going downhill very quickly in the last month. The momentum is on Trump's side. He's working on his campaign to the last minute with incredible energy. Clinton's not putting in the effort in these states she's lost and may be losing. If he wins, he's earned it. She's been very low energy. I'm not a Trump supporter, never have been, but I think he is going to take this election unless Clinton hits it out of the park in these debates while Trump is supposed to be the "Babe Ruth" of debates.

      Who do you think is scripting, and managing Drumpf? - Hard as nails, lying, deflecting Conway - that's who. And if Drumpf should get elected who the hell do you think is going to be running things? Not Pence, but Conway.

      Behind the scenes dirty Bannon, Stone, Page, all with unacceptable baggage. Then the most ignorant, almost as dumb as Drumpf himself - spokesperson Katrina Pierson. Talk about a lying shit, she is the worst.

      Not sure who is tasked with the sedation for Drumpf, but that happened after Conway entered the scene.

    Why are Trump's poll numbers so close to Hillary's right now?

    Because that's what the MSM wants us to believe. It's all about the ratings folks! Even MSNBC is as guilty as the rest of them.

    Media has a countdown to the very second. Media has fanfare music as if this were the Olympics or the world's biggest WWE Clash of the Champions wrestling match.

    They've taken their cues from Trump who treats winning the presidency as if he's running for Mr. Universe.

    It's about a "SHOW" so the networks are going to report as if it's a tie. It's all so lopsided. Andrea Mitchell and others report on Hillary as if it's a fact that she is guilty until proven innocent.

    It all makes for ratings and better TV viewing. As usual it's all about MONEY on every level.

    Yes, Idiocracy is real. You'd think we were all live players in some bizarre video game. Hopefully when the milleneals have kids they'll teach them what a book is and what history is all about. Perhaps they will bring back civics classes to school.

    Scope of Trump's falsehoods unprecedented for a modern presidential candidate

    ...“He’s a salesman,” Mann said. “He’s a con man. He’s hustled people out of money that they’re owed. He’s lived off tax shelters. He’s always looking for a scheme and a con, and in that sphere, you just fall into telling lies as a matter of course.”

    In “Trump: The Art of the Deal,” his 1987 best-seller, Trump said “a little hyperbole never hurts.”

    “People believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion,” he said.

    Trump’s coauthor, Tony Schwartz, put it less benignly in a July interview with the New Yorker. “He lied strategically,” Schwartz recalled. “He had a complete lack of conscience about it.”

    It only took putting Mark Cuban in the front row at the debate for Trump to lose his mind and say something completely irrational and insane.

    Clinton already has Trump rattled. The combination of 90 minutes under an intense national spotlight and Donald Trump’s personality could be setting the stage for the kind of meltdown that voters have never seen before in a general election debate.

    Trump is barely holding it together before the debate, so it could get ugly quickly on Monday night.

      That's the point. Trump doesn't get over things, he gets even.

      He is going to have 90 minutes without his handlers keeping him in check. He will be free to say and do anything he wants with no leash or muzzle. He will NOT be able to stop himself because he's had 70 years of free reign assholery and has no conscience or self-discipline. The guy can't even force himself to read briefings or study up for this debate. He isn't doing any practice runs. He doesn't have the attention span or retention to remember anything they tell him. They'll hammer points into his head and warn him etc. But he won't retain any of it. He might keep it together for maybe, 20-30 minutes but by the end he will have reverted to his default racist, misogynist, school yard bully self. He'll be doing what he did during the primary debates. He worked so well for him then and he won't understand why it doesn't work any more. And he'll blame a lot of his people, a lot of staff will be fired, and it will come out that they haven't been paid and he'll claim they were "volunteers" and they're not going to be paid because they were lousy at their jobs, they're losers, failures, blah blah blah. Then he'll try to frantically cram for the second debate. The one with Anderson Cooper, who I hope hangs him out to dry and then beats his fanny with a thorny stick.

    I may have cast the first vote for Hillary in Virginia last Friday morning.

    I'm a member of our county's three-person electoral board. Absentee voting started in Virginia on Friday, Sep 23. We had to have a functioning absentee precinct at 6:00 AM.

    We completed logic and accuracy tests on all voting machines on Wednesday, sealed the machines and locked them in the vault.

    Because the other two board members were out of town, it fell to me and the registrar to set up the absentee precinct. So, at 5:45 AM, Friday, Sep 23, we set up the absentee precinct machine, checked the clock and the vote count on the machine and opened the polls at 6:00. I cast the first vote absentee because I'll be VERY busy on election day.

    Mine may or may not have been the first vote for Hillary in Virginia but I'm proud to have voted for her.

    When asked if Holt should also fact check Hillary, Fallon said, "Absolutely. We are not asking Lester Holt to do anything to Donald Trump that we don’t think that he should do to Hillary Clinton. Hold both candidates accountable."

    Compare that to Conway's, “I really don’t appreciate campaigns thinking it is the job of the media to go and be these virtual fact-checkers and that these debate moderators should somehow do their bidding.”

    CBS is doing something very deceptive with their battleground poll this election. They include Arizona and Georgia in their battleground group, which of course make the overall "battleground" poll much closer, as Arizona and Georgia are not true swing states but are reliably Republican. AND there is no way to separate the 11 states in the poll: the methodology states that voters are polled "as a group." This is wrong and unfair! CBS should be ashamed. CBS also gives Trump 2:1 coverage over Hillary Clinton. CBS also deceptively edits to make it appear Hillary Clinton is lying when she is not, as far as the email issue goes.

      Did you really think the media is liberal? Unbiased? Fair and balanced?

      CBS is no different than the rest. They're simply not trying to hide it any longer.

    Will Melania Trump be at the first debate? Hope they seat her in the front row with her fake squinting eyes. If you look at other pictures she's not squinting. Daw-link Melania, don't be afraid to show up, no one is expecting you to give another plagiarized speech or give your immigration press conference or show your papers.

    Michelle Obama is campaigning for Hillary

    Where is Melania?

    Bill Clinton is campaigning for Hillary

    Where is Melania?

    Chelsea is campaigning for Hillary

    Where is Melania?

    Vanity Fair:
    We learned that Melania, the heavily accented Trump without an Ivy League degree (and perhaps any degree at all), may be the wisest Trump of the whole lot. Because the other Trumps who have stepped out on behalf of their campaign recently have really stepped in it. Donald Trump Jr., for one, shared a meme widely seen as anti-Semitic (though he later denied any knowledge of this). Then there was his assertion that it would be a bad idea for his father to release his much anticipated tax returns—those very same documents every president in the last several decades has released—because they would “distract from [his father’s] main message.”

    On Wednesday, the eldest Trump heir invoked Holocaust imagery in a radio interview, saying that if Republicans lied the way Democrats do, “they’d be warming up the gas chamber right now.” (A Trump campaign spokesman defended the remark as a reference to capital punishment.)

    Then there was Ivanka, the always-on-message golden child of the Trump clan, who unexpectedly dug her own hole this week. She choked during what should have been a victory lap for her—a few easy interviews to tout the Trump campaign’s newly announced maternity-leave proposal. She botched details about the Trump Organization’s own leave options—claiming that all employees receive eight weeks paid time off when they have a baby, which is not, in fact, true—and got sharply defensive when a reporter pressed her on some of the more subtle nuances of her father’s plan.

    In her absence, then, Melania avoided the inevitable Trump family imbroglio. Where has she been? “Enjoying my life & family and loving our country!” she tweeted last weekend. The Trump offspring have a lot to learn from their stepmother.
