It's OK. Donny still has the well respected Rasmussen poll on his side.

I believe this is from a Podesta email, the Clinton campaign hired a polling firm to oversample specific demographics, apparently. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, since all of the raw data is usually included at the end and people can "unskew" the polls. Also, Donald should have his own internal polling numbers too.

It does, but I'm with Werthless. I'm stunned by that result.

Although at the same time, "foreign trade" can mean a lot of things to a lot of people.

Bwahahahaha

Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling held a Trump “rally” outside Boston’s city hall on Saturday, “but uh, it wasn’t much of a rally,” Sports Illustrated reports.

“According to folks passing by, there were around 10 or 15 people in attendance to see the three-time World Series champ. He was pictured with a dejected gaze on his face.”

I'm embarrassed I didnt notice the strong trend with the GDP growth figure. However, I am still shocked that we're at nearly 2-to-1 in favor of foreign trade. It's not a very intuitive position to favor.

I'll bet they would get a different answer if they referenced the size of the current trade deficit ($40 billion per month). It might switch to 2-to-1 against. I'm just guessing, and I'm sure someone can find an actual poll that has asked this.

I don't care who he is or what he's for, he has my vote. That's tremendous.

I think it's a pretty great ad. I'd like to see more ads (and more politicians) like this. Of course, I'd probably enjoy talking with Gerrald, which is sort of not the point of the ad, but it's positive and humorous, and gets at the heart of what really matters in local politics, which is solving problems rather than ideology.
