The New York Times is reporting that anonymous sources say polling is so bad for Trump that Republicans are planning to run the other way if he loses the second debate as badly as he did the first:
Donald J. Trump’s support has plunged across the swing-state map over the last 10 days, wiping out his political recovery from September and threatening to undo weeks of Republican gains in the battle for control of Congress.
…Should Mr. Trump falter badly in his second debate with Hillary Clinton on Sunday in St. Louis, Republican congressional candidates may take it as a cue to flee openly from their nominee, said two senior Republicans involved at high levels of the campaign who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss private party strategy.
Earlier we posted about all the polling that shows Hillary is increasing her lead on el Trumpo. But it’s even worse than that – private polling has the gap even wider:
But private polling by both parties shows an even more precipitous drop, especially among independent voters, moderate Republicans and women, according to a dozen strategists from both parties who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the data was confidential.
In fact, some have given up on Trump winning altogether:
Jay Bergman, a petroleum executive and Republican donor from Illinois, said his fellow contributors were no longer optimistic that Mr. Trump will win, and they have lowered their sights. “They want the guy to make a credible showing,” he said. “They’re afraid that if Trump really screws up and looks bad, then down-ticket, there are going to be a lot more votes for Democrats.”
Luckily, his spokes-morons and lackeys like Sean Hannity don’t have to worry about polling, because they know what really matters are Twitter follows and Facebook likes!! As long as his more rabid cultish followers stay in the Trump online echo chamber, they won’t see the avalanche coming at all.
