Yet Another New Poll Shows Trump Getting Crushed

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 10:30 am



Oh, man. Yesterday’s NBC/WSJ poll showing Hillary up by 11 may not have been an outlier. A PRRI/The Atlantic poll also shows Trump getting his rear end handed to him, also by double digits (49-38):

With less than a month to go until Election Day, Donald Trump’s standing has plummeted with likely voters, falling from a dead heat just two weeks ago to a double-digit deficit behind Hillary Clinton, according to a PRRI/The Atlantic poll released Tuesday.

Clinton holds a 49-38 lead over the Republican. Two weeks ago, a previous PRRI/Atlantic poll found Trump and Clinton tied at 43-43. Following the first presidential debate in Hempstead, New York, the Democrat broke out to a 47-41 lead. She has now built on that lead.

Note that Hillary has built this huge lead from a tie two weeks ago.

The poll was conducted last Wednesday through Sunday — meaning that many of the respondents had not yet heard about the “grab them by the p***y” video or seen the debate. That . . . is probably not very good for Mr. The Donald.

After the NBC/WSJ poll came out yesterday showing an 11-point Trump lead for Hillary, a friend of mine I respect wrote me to say:

Take a look at the Sample of the LV [likely voters] in the NBC/WSJ poll.

The balance of Dem to Reps is pretty reflective of final result in just looking at Sample %s. Given the affective attachment Dems have to Dems, it’s not surprising that a sample that has 43% Dem ID and 36% Rep ID splits 49 to 42.

It’s not a particularly good sample, which is why there is a +/- 4.3% swing.

It’s a fair point. So when former Trump toady Joe Scarborough says yesterday’s NBC/WSJ poll was “cooked” — well, that might be overstating things a bit, but there are arguably issues with the sample. Whether this new poll suffers from the same defect was not immediately apparent to me from the details available in the poll’s official announcement. Maybe some data maven can drill down further on this issue in the comments.

We’ll probably know soon enough whether these polls are outliers. Right now, it just seems like it’s one piece of bad news for Donald Trump after another.

    Want to make a bet about the outcome of this election you aren’t voting in?

    I’m very serious. If I win, you have to lose the babytalk and potty mouth insults and actually contribute like I know you can.

    If you win, I’ll never criticize your BS again.

    What do you say?

    Happy to take side bets about more vulgar tapes about Trump in the coming weeks, too.

  7. Here’s what Hillary Clinton said during the debate:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/10/us/politics/transcript-second-debate.html?_r=1

    OK, Donald. I know you’re into big diversion tonight, anything to avoid talking about your campaign and the way it’s exploding and the way Republicans are leaving you…

    The debate is supposed to be about the state of Donald Trump’s campaign?

    Donald Trump was remarking on how she didn’t want to talk about the e-mails.

    Sammy Finkelman (643dcd)

  8. Donald Trump has declared himself freed from Republican Party ‘shackles.’

    Mr Trump is a fighter, no doubt about that, and Republican voters were looking for someone who would actually fight. But he doesn’t know when to fight, and doesn’t know whom to fight. He was tougher on Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina and even his current lickspittle, Chris Christie, than he has ever been on Mrs Clinton.

    The New York businessman, in securing the GOP nomination and then later in his campaign to defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, has gotten into public fights with a federal judge of Mexican heritage; the parents of a soldier killed in Iraq; and a former Miss Universe beauty queen.

    He’s running for President of the United States, and he’s spending public time squabbling with a beauty queen? There’s only one word to describe that, and that word is stupid!

Sometimes they converge on a result that is a number of points off.

    The polls may be wrong but they may not be wrong enough for Donald Trump.

    Don’t see one. All I see is the same Conservative Treehouse piece linked by someone else above. And the only point they make about the numbers in that piece is the precise point I make in the post above, about the sample. And even that may or may not be a valid criticism. After all, we “unskewed” four years ago and if we were right Mitt Romney would be running for rr-election today. Think what you like, but reality is what it is.

    Hey, Mr. Feet. I’ll bet “The Newt” would suggest you…you know…vote.

    For a person who supposedly cares about this election, you really don’t, do you?

    I kind of think you want HRC to win, so that you can complain and insult and be oh so clever and vulgar some more.

    Or maybe you are just a intellectually lazy troll.

  38. That they are currently employed by Hillary’s SuperPAC is something else they mention.

    The WSJ has certainly been a disappointment over the last two decades. To lend their name to such disreputable undertakings as this poll has cost them at least one long term subscriber, (admittedly a number of years ago, this is not their first failure.) They continue to attempt to cash in on a reputation that is no longer deserved. It started during the Clinton era when the editorial board would say one thing, and the rest of the paper another. Now they are in sync. The link shows their pollster is a paid consultant to a Hillary! PAC, with a September billing of $220,500 to Priorities USA Action.

    It’s like so much of what’s gone wrong. But it’s there for us all to see. If only a few more would see it.

  44. I like how all the angry, disaffected folks who have for the last 20 years claimed that they voted for the GOPe candidate, by holding their nose since the candidate wasn’t “conservative” enough because of reasons like SCOTUS, Guns, free speech and taxes. Now tell those of us who think Trump was a loser, has been a loser and will more than likely flush the GOP away by the end of 2016; that we have to hold our noses and vote for a candidate who appears with every flip and flop to be about as conservative as member of the aristocracy in Congress now. Why do we have to hold our noses? The same reasons that the GOP HQ has sent mailers out for over 20 years, SCOTUS, Gun, taxes, culture.
    Congrats Trumpkins. You are now what you have despised and oh your Great White Hope (or is it Great Orange Hope) has effectively flushed culture down the toilet with his “locker room banter”. Since it was locker room banter that was said by Martin Bashir, Bill Maher, Chris Matthews, Alex Pareene, Glenn Greenwald about folks like Michelle Malkin, Joni Ernst, Mia Love, the Palins, and a slew of other conservative women. They deserve that sort of speech directed at them right? So what if we sacrifice a few pawns or a knight or two on the chess board to get ourselves into checkmate?

  45. CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: “Is this a FOB”: State Department prioritized Clinton cronies for access. “Hillary Clinton and her campaign have repeatedly insisted that Clinton Foundation donors and other associates of the family never received any special treatment from the State Department during Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State. E-mails gleaned from FOIA actions tell a much different story. While the US government tried to respond to a 2010 humanitarian crisis in Haiti, State spent its time sifting through access requests to identify ‘FOBs’ — Friends of Bill — by way of the Clinton Foundation’s top executives, ABC News reports.”

  50. I have been a lurker for years on Ace’s blog. No more. He whines about those who don’t support Trump and now he is actively calling for people to vote for a democrat. Trump is going to lose and our only hope as a country is for Republicans to maintain control of Congress. The Trump supporters now want to give Hillary congress as well. I will probably vote for Trump just because of Hillary but his supporters make me question that decision daily.

    I was certain the actual turnout of GOP voters would far exceed the LV assumptions baked into most of the polls. Gallup had the highest GOP turnout, and Romney with a 1-point advantage in their final poll. They are now out of the presidential polling business after many decades.

    My sense is that DJT’s very bad week drove the LV ratio significantly higher for the Dems – which is reflected in the new numbers.

The changes in technology and so forth– or just lying– makes it sketchy stuff anymore. Romney learned that as you noted– along with Gallup. President Dewey, too.

    The only data that matters now are the absentee ballots requested/sent/returned– and the weather conditions around the country on November 8 for turnout.

  61. Since this race can’t get any weirder, I have the following humble suggestion:

    Suppose Romney announced that he was standing as an alternative Republican nominee for Electoral College consideration. State parties/legislatures/however-the-state-does-it should choose electors pledge to him, not Trump. Unpledged electors should declare for him before the election.

    After all, the ballot choice is only for the state’s electors, NOT for a candidate, so it does not matter who the F is printed on the ballot.

    Now, this might mean that the election goes to the House, which at this point is a good thing. If Hillary still gets 270 votes, then this doesn’t matter.

    Besides, it would be fun to watch the debate commission squirm over who gets to debate.

  62. New Reuters Poll

    They use a DRI split of 50/37/24 to get a 45 Clinton, 37 Trump result. NeverClinton/Trump is currently getting 18. A peculiar result of polls showing a very large lead for Clinton may be lower turnout by very reluctant Trump preventers who also despise Clinton. If she is ‘safely ahead’, then there’s no need to vote for the witch.
