Please riddle me this...

if the majority of Hispanics and African Americans won't vote for trump, how on God's green earth is he winning? I don't believe that new cnn poll, not at all. There aren't enough old, racist white men and women in this country to flip a poll like that.

Things that make you go hmmmm...

Not to mention they probably think that a Trump presidency would make for much better sound bytes.

That ABC poll had dramatically different results for Mississippi and Alabama for example. Those two states are like peas in a pod.

We always hear that it's impossible to win an election with less of the minority vote than Romney was able to get. And then they show us that Trump is getting 0-1% of the African-American vote, and he's not doing well with the Hispanic vote, either. So WHY in hell are most pundits saying the race is really tight? It makes absolutely no sense.

If it is the same poll I'm thinking says 786 people polled. I don't know if this is the same people or it shifts during the course of the campaign. Has the way they poll changed?

6. They polled LVs which they get to choose, the danger of that poll is they didn't reveal who were

Its click bate IMHO... seeing their RV and LV polls are polar opposites of each other
