1. I'm ok with that, if it helps motivate Dems to get out the vote!

[beachbum bob]

4. you are SO RIGHT!!!!

I rather see MSM frame this election as "close"...nothing will motivate our voters more to vote for Hillary.....way better than framing this as an absolute landslide of which it may be

[gratuitous]

8. Actually, my opinion on what depresses voter turnout

It's when the east coast media call a nationwide race three hours before the polls close on the west coast. Otherwise, I haven't noticed a lack of motivation among Democratic voters.

9. I think the media has agreed to hold off until 10 eastern

They hold on until then. I think that changed in the 90's

[gratuitous]

11. The media got such a trashing after doing that in 1980

I think they learned their lesson about calling the presidential race early.

But all this talk of de-motivated voters makes me think I have the wrong friends and acquaintances. I have never heard any of them take a sip from their brandy snifter and intone, "Oh, tut-tut old boy; Secretary Clinton's got this in the bag. No sense toddling down to the voting booth. My one little vote won't be missed." My friends and acquaintances are eager to be on the winning side, and I think that's not uncommon. Witness the sudden explosion in team wear after a championship: People with no previously discernible interest in football start wearing Broncos gear after the Super Bowl. I think the same thing holds true in the political realm.

13. I hope you're right.

2. Yup. They finally found a poll good for Trump

And they can't stop talking about it. lol

6. But this works in our favor, Thrill. Democrats and Liberals are notorious for taking a

laissez-faire attitude when it comes to one of our most important civic duties - VOTING.

3. Good, fight like we are 10 points down

[still_one]

5. and even Bloomberg is reporting that their poll is within the MOE, which means essentially a tie

I cannot express how much I detest the MSM

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Just caught this hours segment on Bloomberg TV.

You just can not make this crap up. Bash the Obama's for Campaigning for Hillary,wow. Old Bloomberg still thinks he is relevant in Politics,well he isn't. The day of mush mouth politics is over . People want real workable solutions and not more mush mouth answers.

10. A straight average of the five polls gives Hillary a 1.2% lead 44.4 to 43.2

A weighted average to account for the different sample sizes of each poll gives Hillary a 1.8% lead 45.2 to 43.4. Obama won FL in 2012 by less than 1%. It is truly dishonest to focus on the one poll that shows Trump ahead. That said, I don't think many of the reporters on TV have any clue about the statistical meaning behind polls and why multiple polls are more accurate than one alone.

12. I'll take Bloomberg

for $2,000 Alex
