Let's see if it'll reach 83-85%! http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/ I don't think any of that is because of the debate. If you look at the timeframe of the polls they're all from before the 2nd debate, also before the audio leak iirc. Trump just kept losing on a daily basis ever since the first debate and that hasn't stopped yet. | ||

That would be insane, would like to see more on that though, especially considering that they're usually on the right side when it comes to polls. | ||

It is the default response, regardless of the merits of the case. But without knowing who the Plaintiff is, it is hard to say anything. | ||

Until he admits in public himself that he didn't rape her it's not enough for me. Hell, until there is tape of him not being the one to commit it it isn't enough for me | ||

The most recent Rasmussen poll was conducted 10/5 to 10/9, so it has two days (Saturday and Sunday) since the tape dropped. That's the one that has Clinton at +7 (from being at Trump +2). The LAtimes poll also has two days post-tape, but since it's a tracking poll it has five days without the tape so you won't see much change as a result. | ||

I'm just applying right wing logic. Why won't he deny that he's a pedophile? He's been accused in court. He clearly wants to be President in order to be able to pardon himself after engaging in multiple acts of debauchery in the oval office. He won't be satisfied until there is a constant flow of blood on the president's desk. | ||

To those who think Clinton was over focusing on Russia, we are not the only ones that are having issues with that nation. It's not uncommon for cyber-attackers to enter a target's network to look for information. But what happened to TV5 was not espionage - the aim was destruction. And that is indicative of a new trend: attacks with physical-world consequences. Arguably, the pioneering state-backed attack of this type was Stuxnet. This was carried out - it is widely believed - by the US and Israel against Iran's nuclear programme and involved damaging the centrifuge programme at Natanz. More recently, a power station in Ukraine was switched off by cyber-attackers. The TV5 attack fits into this pattern of highly-targeted attacks, rather than the kind of general criminal activity typically seen on the web. The issue as to why Russian hackers targeted the company is one that has occupied intelligence analysts in the UK and US, as well as France. In London, the conclusion was that it was most likely an attempt to test forms of cyber-weaponry as part of an increasingly aggressive posture. And reports are now saying that Russia it plans to open a permanent base in Syria and is in talks with Egypt to reopen a base in that country. | ||
