He’s had yet another horrible week. The old tricks aren’t working. Kamala Harris does not fear him. And it’s showing in the numbers.

    Yea while Kamala is ahead in the polls , a frighteningly large amount of people still support 45

    • Even then, the error % on polls is high enough that Trump could be ahead instead.

      Polls post their calculated error %. If they could be off by like 5% in either direction, then that’s what they say. And if the poll shows Trump losing by 2%, with a 5% error, that means Trump could win by 3%.

      Every single reputable poll that has been published shows a Trump victory within the margin of error.

              Polls are all about probability. They can’t predict the future. So, even though Hillary was likely to win, there was still a chance that Trump could win. Does this mean that polls are useless? No, because knowing the popularity of your candidate relative to the other candidates is important information.
