. . . judging From Post-Debate Polls.......

And history suggests his chances for recovery are bleak.

Losing the first presidential debate was bad for Trump.

Donald Trump dropped in the polls following the first presidential
debate, allowing Hillary Clinton to open up a significant lead. History
suggests that the Republican nominee will not be able to recover.

Heading into their first meeting, Hillary Clinton led Trump by just 1.6
points. That narrow margin meant Trump had a chance to shift the race in
his favor. Instead, he slumped by a significant 3 points.

That tumble in the polls put Trump in an especially bad spot: History
suggests that the candidate who is ahead in the polls after the first
debate will end up winning the election. A week after their meeting,
Clinton was ahead by nearly 5 points.

The HuffPost Pollster national chart, which aggregates public polls,
finds him now trailing Clinton by 6 points ? 41 percent to 47 percent.
And the HuffPost Pollster forecast model places Clinton’s odds of
winning the presidency at 81.9 percent and Trump’s at 17.8 percent.

Of course, something dramatic could still happen. But right now, Clinton
looks to be on the path to victory.

It is the vanishing American middle class that is in danger and if Hillary wins'
their chances of recovery are beyond bleak. They are nearly non-existent.

How has T rump ever helped the middle class? Stiffing the contractors? Hiring illegals and stiffing them? Having suppliers procure from foreign countries? Dicking investors in his casinos? Pray tell, show me one example where T rump has done anything for the middle class?

Rasmussen had Hillary up by +5 three days ago (that was by more than some of the MSM polls).

The debate bounce wore-off, just like the convention bounce.

How anyone can seriously believe that it's over for Trump with a month to go is baffling. It's just dumb-assed, cheeleading mentality.

Actually Rasmussen has such a right leaning bias that it has been
discussed in staff meetings to not include it in the aggregate averages.
In the end it was decided to keep it in because the poll aggregate has
proven to be a more accurate predictor than any single poll. (The only
poll we don’t include is the extreme outlier, LA Times/Dornsife poll.)
We actually include a much larger number of pollsters than Real Clear
Politics.

I think you’re mistaken that Rasmussen had Clinton +5 three days ago. I
think it was +3. Rasmussen jumps around a lot from poll to poll which
means it’s results are less reliable.

Our staff mostly agreed that Mike Pence did win the Vice Presidential
debate but we also agreed that it was unlikely to move the polls much,
if at all.

Thinking that Mr. Trump has much more than a 20% chance to win while
being 4 to 6 points behind in the poll averages with one month to go
(many states are already voting) – THAT would be just a dumb-assed
cheerleading mentality.

LOL! What a dishonest pile of left wing political crap! Harry Reid and the Democrat controlled Senate
blocked 380 Republican Congressional Bills! These 380 Bills were never even allowed to reach the Senate floor. There was no debate, no discussion and no vote. Harry Reid killed every one of them. Then Obama would whine to his sycophant kool aid drinkers that those terrible Republicans never offered him any ideas or suggestions!

I personally do not think it is Joe. First, it doesn't sound like Joe, and I see no motivation for him to post this under another name. I think if he wanted to post something of this nature he would just post under "Joe Camel". I really don't think it's Joe, I think it's someone else.

By the way, if I were you, I wouldn't encourage him to pick another name. If you get my drift.

Oh yeah -- a simple majority in the Senate doesn't mean "control" -- welcome

All those NASA jobs. All those jobs that came with the building of Hoover Dam were instrumental in making Las Vegas Las Vegas. The federal funds that funded the interstate highway system made the US very competitive in the world market. My favorite government job is the Panama Canal, a job that several private enterprises failed to do, and it changed the face of international trade. And let us not forget the public school system, a program that forced the country to speak one language and hold the same values.

Government allows humanity to create things that humans alone can not.

Dumb-assed is merely quoting poll averages (that would be you) and thinking that that is a substitute for actual election analysis.

Trump's ahead in Ohio, only down 3 in North Carolina and Florida (and that's from limited and questionable MSM polling),

Today, Trump surged to only 3 down in New Hampshire.

If Trump takes Ohio, Iowa (where he's ahead), N.C., Florida, Utah (ahead) and Arizona (ahead), he hust needs Nevada and New Hampshire to win.

Even easier if he picks-off Wisconsin (Walker backs Trump), or Michigan (no state needs jobs more than Michigan/(Detroit).

With another debate to go, you shouldn't doing the smug, victory dance thing.

Remember "Brexit."
