July 2016 polls vs july 2020 [View all]

I have been having to remind our right-wing friends about the polls in 2016 compared to now.

Whenever you try talkin about polls with them their final line is 90% chance Hillary was going to win... So the polls were wrong.


I don't even try to go there with them cuz they have no clue.


So I just get them talking about July's polls


July 2016 Trump had his convention around the 18th. After his convention was over he was up in the polls about 3%. Soon after the Democrats had their convention and then Hillary was back up about 3%.


Here is what didn't happen in July 2016. Hillary didn't have an 8 point lead... A 10-point lead... Holy crap a 12-point lead?


Hillary was not blowing out Trump by double digits in the summertime. She certainly wasn't blowing him out double-digits close to the election.


Trump is in serious grade A number one with a rocket trouble. If something doesn't change soon he is going to get wiped out the numbers are pointing that way.
