Trump Takes Lead In Crucial States

“NEW NATIONAL POLLS FIND CLINTON MAINTAINING HER LEAD, BUT WITH A SMALLER MARGIN - Quinnipiac University: “In a largely negative presidential campaign, where most Americans are voting against, rather than for, a candidate, Democrat Hillary Clinton leads Republican Donald Trump 48 - 43 percent among likely voters nationwide, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released [Wednesday]. This compares to a 51 - 41 percent Clinton lead in an August 25 survey of likely voters nationwide, by the independent Quinnipiac University….Independent voters tip to Trump 45 - 40 percent. Republicans go to Trump 86 - 10 percent, while Democrats back Clinton 92 - 4 percent. Voting for Clinton is the lesser of two evils, 38 percent of her supporters say, while 57 percent say she is the candidate they like. Among Trump supporters, 50 percent say they are picking the lesser of two evils, while 46 percent say he is the candidate they like. A total of 70 percent of likely voters say it is ‘very important’ or ‘somewhat important’ that the next president be someone to whom they can relate. But by similar margins, most American voters can’t relate to either candidate. Voters say 61 - 36 percent they can’t relate to Clinton and 64 - 34 percent they can’t relate to Trump. “ [Quinnipiac]

CBS/NYT also finds an increasingly tight race - Sarah Dutton, Jennifer DePinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto: “With the first debate less than two weeks away, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a tight race for the presidency nationally. Clinton has just a 2-point edge in a two-way match-up among likely voters. The race is tied when third party candidates are included. Among the broader electorate of registered voters, Clinton leads Trump by five points. One disadvantage for Clinton is diminished voter enthusiasm. Democrats are less enthusiastic about voting now than they were in August.” [CBS]”

This is the most honest TYT video in years. Even admitted Hillary sucks. Wow

[thCenturyPox]

"I'm with her" is the worst campaign slogan of all time. Al they had to do was invert it. "She's with you" would work, but these 'top political thinkers' know more than me so...

[TheDrago]

Hispanic 23 year old voting for Trump so is my gf

[AgainstYourThought]

Say it with me now: President Donald J. Trump

[choibacco]

I think its clear, time to bring in JJ Abrams to reboot this election.

I'm a Liberal. Hillary needs to resign ASAP. We need Biden or Bernie on top of the ticket.

[garywinehouse]

Steven Crowder does the best impersonation of him. It's on point. Lmao.

[zdtfdfhgjk]

I'm in some ways a socialist. which is to imply i'm very liberal... i'm voting trump...

[cennon]

While a president Trump is gonna suck, it's gonna be nice to see Hillary's ego wounded if she loses. She has this sense of entitlement and feels she doesn't even have to campaign. She's a political dud like Al Gore and John Kerry. A presidential candidate needs to be inspirational and Hillary is as inspirational as a flat tire.

Wait, this guy wants money out of politics, and wants hillary over trump???? A R E Y O U O K A Y S I R ?

[ubong]

TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!!! BUILD THAT WALLL!!!! AMERICA FIRST !!!

[totallynotaseaotter]

Trump is going to win, Like it or not. This debate is going to be interesting. Will Hillary let him belittle her like he did with the last 14 republican candidates?

[cassidyful]

Hey Cenk. What is Hillary running for. It's pretty simple. POWER.

[BlazianProductionTV]

Best News i heard from TYT in a while...looks like they snapping out of it lol

[ericliu]

I don't like how they have polls, then voters will vote based on other peoples' opinion instead of evaluating the candidates and coming to a decision for themselves. Public polling literally screwed over sanders stein and Johnson

[mtneves]

alright Cenk, you talked me into it. I'll get off my ass and vote.

[daxidol]

I imagine Trump will do much better than Hillary in the debates and if things continue like they are then we'll have a Trump presidency.

The Republican debates were fantastic for Trump, he came out on top in all of them. The Democrat debates were less than stellar for Hillary and against Trump I can see it going very poorly for her.

[miamiwax]

no way in hell hilary will carry florida

[CRD]

Trump is not running for his ego, he cares about this country. Hillary cares about being the first woman president, and making history. It's amusing all these dislikes The Young Turks get now, and most of the comments seem to be Trump supporters. You would think having over 3, 000, 000 subscribers, their videos would have way more views than they do

[ktrigg]

That's a great point that goes completely by me; Hilary Clinton's campaign has no message.
