An Election is a Popularity Contest

An election is basically a popularity contest.  In the coming Presidential election, one of the best ways to predict who is ahead is to gauge the size of the crowds at the contenders' events.  Donald Trump's crowds are usually more than ten times bigger than the scattered events thrown by Shrillary Clinton.

So how are we hearing these reports that the election is neck and neck with maybe only a slight Trump lead?

Americans have to understand the nature of the mainstream media.  When one hears the results of a poll it should be asked if it is a mainstream media conducted poll.  There are so many ways to skew a poll that if the source is corrupt, (such as CNN), the poll should be summarily dismissed.

I think that the democrat spinsters' motive to misportray Trump's popularity is to set up voter fraud.  If it is expected that it is a close race, then the illegal and repeat votes won't be questioned.
