White House Watch: Trump Takes the Lead

Thursday, October 13, 2016

The full results from Sunday night’s debate are in, and Donald Trump has come from behind to take the lead over Hillary Clinton.

The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 41%. Yesterday, Clinton still held a four-point 43% to 39% lead over Trump, but that was down from five points on Tuesday and her biggest lead ever of seven points on Monday.

Rasmussen Reports updates its White House Watch survey daily Monday through Friday at 8:30 am Eastern based on a three-day rolling average of 1,500 Likely U.S. Voters. Monday’s survey was the first following the release of an 11-year-old video showing Trump discussing women in graphic sexual detail but did not include any polling results taken after the debate. All three nights of the latest survey follow Sunday’s debate.

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has dropped slightly to six percent (6%) support, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein holds steady at two percent (2%). Four percent (4%) still like some other candidate in the race, and another four percent (4%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Eighty-four percent (84%) now say they are certain how they will vote in this year’s presidential election, and among these voters, Trump posts a 49% to 46% lead over Clinton. Among voters who say they still could change their minds between now and Election Day, it’s Clinton 40%, Trump 37%, Johnson 19% and Stein four percent (4%).

The survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted on October 10-12, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Amazing!! The latest Rasmussen poll has Trump ahead 43% to 41% over Hillary among likely voters.



But that’s not the real story. The real story is buried in the demographic data.

Look what happened to the numbers for Black Likely Voters over the last ten days (via Ted Carroll):

Black Likely Voters for TRUMP @Rasmussen_Poll
Oct 3 – 9%
Oct 6 – 12%
Oct 7 – 13%
Oct 10 – 14%
Oct 11 – 19%
Oct 12 – 19%
Oct 13 – 24% !

If you can’t read the tweet, it says:

Black likely voters for Trump (Rasmussen Poll)

Oct 3 – 9%
Oct 6 – 12%
Oct 7 – 13%
Oct 10 – 14%
Oct 11 – 19%
Oct 12 – 19%
Oct 13 – 24%

Support for Trump among Black Likely Voters has surged from 9% to 24% in the last ten days.

That’s a rise of 150% over ten days!

If this happens, a lot of swing states are going to go Republican. A lot of electoral votes will go for Trump!

No wonder Democrats and the Liberal media are pulling out everything they can against Trump. They’re afraid!

Black voters are moving toward Trump. It’s a movement!

To tell the truth, nobody knows who will turn out, and who will stay home. Early voting is capable of throwing a curveball, too. So I regard all polling with suspicion. But that said, Trump’s strong debate performance and the normal rhythm of campaigns and scandalous revelations suggests that after a big hit, the hot mic scandal should see a Trump rebound. Rasmussen finds s big one:

The full results from Sunday night’s debate are in, and Donald Trump has come from behind to take the lead over Hillary Clinton.

The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 41%. Yesterday, Clinton still held a four-point 43% to 39% lead over Trump, but that was down from five points on Tuesday and her biggest lead ever of seven points on Monday.

According to Rasmussen, there actually still are millions of undecideds and flexibly committeds.

Eighty-four percent (84%) now say they are certain how they will vote in this year’s presidential election, and among these voters, Trump posts a 49% to 46% lead over Clinton. Among voters who say they still could change their minds between now and Election Day, it’s Clinton 40%, Trump 37%, Johnson 19% and Stein four percent (4%).

Wow, 40% of Hillary’s voters could change their minds. And Wikileaks keeps leaking.

As Yogi Berra taught us, “It ain’t over till it’s over.”

Exactly!! That's why Trump Campaign should invest in advertising in Virginia. I have family in Northern Virginia. They need to see the ads in Northern Virginia. You can still convince a great many voters that Hillary is an incompetent crook and inform them that Trump is a decent brilliant successful competent leader who gets things done. I mean all they have to do is when they're downtown DC drive by the Post Office Hotel he just finished or park and go in and they'll see first-hand his capabilities and see that type of magnificent redevelopment occur throughout our country, on time and under budget.

I don't know everything but...

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Those "black Trump supporters" might just be plain old Americans who happen to support Trump.

Call me crazy, right?
