  I'll start by saying that can't stand how people play the polls. If they took the same poll, with the same sampling, with different people, at the same time, they'd find a swing of at least 5 points. Maybe as much as 8 points. 
  
  Polls aren't nearly as accurate as the press make them out to be. 
  
  I watched Fox News run a headline of their last poll talking about how Clinton has retaken the lead by 3 points.... I mean they were making out like it was the BIGGEST news of the Election. CNN is doing pretty much the same thing today. 
  
  All of them think that Trump is doing terrible and I'm not going to get into everything wrong with Trump. 
  
  I will say.... the small increase in Hillary's numbers has nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with Hillary not getting sick on stage. The lead that Trump seem to be building before the debate was based on Hillary's health declining. Nothing more. Nothing less.
  
  Where do you see the race at the moment?
  
  I'd say its about even. With Trump having a slight advantage.

  i;ve always wondered about these pre-election polls..... ... i have never voted in one.... never even seen one being taken or been offered the chance to vote in one.... .... .... i do know a few people who said they got phone calls from people claiming to be pollsters and asking them who they were likely to vote for..... if that is the kind of poll we are seeing results put up on the news for then i wouldn;t have any confidence in that at all........ 
  
  but as far as their campaigns go i still think trump could be walking away with this if he just stayed focused and stayed on target..... and ignored clintons baiting and distractions........ .. very few people even among clintons supporters actually like her... .most people can;t stand her...... and i don;t know anyone who trusts her or thinks she is the most honest of the 2 candidates.... ... even her most ardent supporters that i know personally admit she is crooked as a snake... ..... they are only voting for her because they think she is crooked in the way they like....... 
  
  trump is not very likeable either ...only slightly more likeable than hillary according to people in my circle of friends and acquaintances.... but at least he is honest.... you always know what he is thinking because he doesn;t fail to tell you....... i think most people respect that even if they don;t always agree with him...... but i also think more people actually agree with him than let on that they do... ..... it;s kewl to be all p.c. these days and to talk the liberal talk..... .....but what people do in the voting booth is known only to them.... and might be a whole other story.......
