(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: Campaign watch: New poll shows Trump with commanding lead over Clinton in Tennessee If the 2016 presidential election were held today, Republican nominee Donald Trump would easily best his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in Tennessee, according to a new poll of registered voters. Nashville-based civic information company icitizen released Tuesday the results of its poll of 531 registered Tennessee voters, and the numbers show a clear statewide preference for Trump in a head-to-head contest against Clinton. In a survey conducted from July 25-27 (during the Democratic National Convention), 49 percent of respondents favored Trump compared to 33 percent in favor of Clinton. Eighteen percent said they were undecided. The poll showed strong party support for both candidates, but Trump also outpaced Clinton in this area: 88 percent of Tennessee Republicans supported their party's nominee, compared to 80 percent support among Tennessee Democrats for the former secretary of state. Mark Keida, icitizen's vice president of polling and research, said the poll's biggest takeaway is that Trump has strengthened his support among Republican voters in Tennessee, with 32 percent of supporters saying they "strongly" favor Trump compared to 23 percent of Democratic voters favoring Clinton with the same intensity. "He's consolidating the Republican base, and I think that's the biggest story as to why he's ahead [in Tennessee]," Keida said. Independents broke heavily for Trump. The real estate tycoon captured non-affiliated respondents by a 17 point margin 40 percent to Clinton's 23 percent. The icitizen poll results were similar to the Nashville Business Journal's unscientific poll of online readers in a recent Business Pulse question, which ran from Friday until Tuesday morning. In a two-horse presidential race, 53 percent of NBJ readers favored Trump compared to 39 percent support for Clinton. Eight percent said they would vote for neither candidate. Demographically, Trump drew support in Tennessee from a similar cross section of voters as his nationwide base. His backers skewed white and male, but also included a majority of college-educated and high-income voters, two groups that favor Clinton in national polling, according to icitizen. "In Tennessee, those two groups are much more Republican than average in other states," Keida explained. Nationally, Clinton is leading Trump by 46.4 percent to 42 percent, according to Real Clear Politics' average of national polls. The icitizen survey also asked specific questions on race relations and law enforcement policy, two issues at the center of national attention.

That's great for Tennessee but it's one state of 50
The LA Times/USC poll has CLinton and Trump essentially tied. The Clinton bump outside Tennessee is explainable by the Jewish vote and government workers. The Mainstream media has been releasing fake polls. They have made pure propaganda up about Putin hacking Hillary, Trump is dropping out and and Trump is Putin's stooge. It is all BS. Look at the size of the rallies. Hillary gets fewer than a 100 counting Democrat operatives and civil servants. Trump gets thousands. Trump had to endorse McCain and Ryan because the party would dump if he didn't. Assange has a series of more data dumps coming. Two of which are criminal in nature. The Republicans have no pull in the media. CNN will break when Trump mentions Hillary funding ISIS. That is why we need the grassroots to break through and explain the biggest scandals like stealing billions from Africans, Haitians and Katrina victims. And the treason of supporting ISIS which is fighting against US soldiers. The debates will collapse her campaign.
A good question for Trump to ask the audience: "Is this what we want in a President?" Guaranteed it will bring the house down and collapse The Beast's campaign:
