New poll Politico/Morning Consult poll after debate

[helpisontheway]

Hillary 42%
Trump 37%
Johnson 10%
Stein 3%

1. Joe Scarborough and Mika said "There you go!"

When they heard about the 5 point lead(instead of the other poll with 11 point lead). They seem happy. Does this poll lean right?? Also positively giddy that 55% see Hillary as corrupt.

5. Their attitude has changed so drastically

in the last 3 weeks. You'd think they'd try to make more of an effort to hide their on-again relationship with Trump, but apparently they don't care if it's obvious that Trump has paid them off.

One thing I noticed, though, is that Mika seemed much more animated when she was 'allowed' to criticize Trump. I suspect those were her true feelings coming through; now she acts meeker and more subdued.

[Thrill]

7. They've changed since Trump threatened to out them

As having a long on going affair

[sarae]

14. I noticed that, too. Trump's a bully, pure and simple.

He'll do or say anything to get his way; there's no moral compass holding him back. I think that's the most frightening thing about him.

3. Is there a link?

4. for this worried the lead is not big enough

Look at the trend line in their polling. She"s in the mist of pulling away when you look at their numbers. They just caught her before she hit the arc in her upward projectory.

It's nice when you are only a few weeks out and ONLY a 5 point lead is used as a right wing talking point on Morning Joe. That's how good her position is!

[Sorceress]

9. Interesting...

Look at the impact of the leaked tax returns and Machado Melt-down.

[aaaaaa5a]

13. Yes. The Tax return was a bigger deal than even

what was reported.

8. That's why...

with 3 weeks left, that's why 2-3 more stronger videos are needed to totally put Trump under.

With that a few more defections, rescinded endorsements will follow.

11. Oh brother, yes, ignore other polls showing double digit leads.

[book_worm]

10. You know a five point lead is actually quite healthy and we also have two other

polls giving her a double digit lead.

12. Independents and Women Bail on Trump, Giving Clinton a Double-Digit Lead

What a five-point shift could do = 455-83

15. In this map MS should be blue

MS is not out of the question right with GA and MO.

[aaaaaa5a]

16. Look at our growing strength in the South

VA
NC
Possible GA

SC is not to far behind. People who bashed the South for years on this board saying we could never win there are wrong.

17. Wowza! That's landslide territory!

I doubt that the margin stays that high, so everyone GOTV!

I'll be voting tomorrow!

[JRLeft]

19. She will win by a much more.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. I hope so! Trump needs crushed into a little orange stain.

[JRLeft]

22. I think it will be 8-12 points after some of the people who are voting third party

move over to her, not all but believe me there will be movement.

[JRLeft]

18. Who else believes Gary Johnson getting 10% of the vote is bullshit?

I'm not buying it at this point.

[Adrahil]

21. Keep in mind...

No candidate in modern history has come back from a deficit this big. He's done. Toast. Finished. Now it's about running up the score and extending the coattails. No mercy! No let-up!
