    The reason they have polls is to give the public an idea how they stand.
    Like Obama said if he was at least 10 points ahead and did not win then they can look for corruption/fix or rigged.
    Now if the polls say that they are close or Hillary is slightly ahead than there is no way he can say it was rigged because the polls.
    Where are they getting these polls and who are they polling well if you pay for a poll you will get what you want.
    Are they asking the people on the street these are the people without a job and might be living on well fare given to them by the government. Are they asking the bankers who might get in trouble if the government changes. So who are they polling it is not the thousands that just left the Trump rally
    Ever person I know and have asked who you would vote for I have not so far found a Hillary supporter.
    Now if you look at the rallies Hillary needs to pay people to get 150 to her rallies. While Trump has to turn away 1000 because there is not enough room.
    The honesty of these polls should be called into account.
    The polls for BREXIT showed that the stay in would win that is why they had no problem with putting it to the vote. They got a big surprise when the leave won.

    Sometimes I think these polls are not even done or just a very small chosen group. Now Hillary is leading by a lot
    And that might discourage Trump supporters.

    Also, I've noticed when they talk Trump supporters they pick the bottom of the barrel to show how stupid
    The typical Trump voter is.

    They're not talking to the professionals that are voting for Trump, the people that seldom talk politics or say who they are voting for. These people don't share political posts on FB and there are many quiet Republicans
    Will go to the polls and vote Trump and won't CNN be surprised then, lol.

    Seriously, do you think my kids and their spouses who are dentists are going to risk losing democrat patients by saying they're voting Trump? Especially when the media has brainwashed people to
    Think that Trump supporters are uneducated, racist idiots.

    There are many similar examples where it's not wise to broadcast what party you are. They keep politics and religion to themselves.

    We have 2 major polling firms here - the SWS and Pulse Asia. The claim that their method of survey is scientific based on random sampling. They usually survey 1,200 people to provide a forecast of the 50 million voters. I cannot disagree with the polls but I cannot agree either. I cannot disagree because they have predicted the election results correctly several times and only some fraction made the difference. And I cannot agree because if the polls are so accurate then why do we need to hold an election? Let us save on expenses and choose the president and other elected officials by the survey and do away with the voting.

    For the past several days the news has been reporting that Hillary has a double digit lead in the polls. News outlets clain Trump's comments have caused this.
