\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

RUSH:  The polls have tightened, I know that, anybody knows that, anybody following this.  In fact, there\u2019s a story out there describing all of this, and the headline is, “Presidential Race Now a Dead Heat.”<\/a>  That\u2019s not what the headline ought to be.  The headline ought to be “Trump Surges in Polls as Hillary\u2019s Huge Lead Fails,” because that\u2019s the story. <\/p>\n

The story is not that they\u2019re in a dead heat.  The story is that Hillary is fading and plummeting. Hillary had a huge lead coming out of her convention and it is gone. Depending on the poll, she\u2019s still up two, down two, margin of error. I think there\u2019s one poll that has her up four.  But it\u2019s a dead heat.  And the battleground states are also dead heats.  I\u2019ve got a sound bite here about Hillary and Ohio that makes it look like they may be thinking they\u2019ve lost Ohio.  I\u2019ve gotta double-check that.  I just had a scant moment to peruse this before the program began, and I\u2019m still studying what I\u2019ve got in the audio sound bite roster. <\/line><\/p>\n

But man, oh, man, the peer pressure on poor Lester Holt here.  And you know Lester Holt would not have this job if it weren\u2019t for Brian Williams getting caught making things up.  That\u2019s why Lester even has this gig.  Every news network is demanding that he fact check Donald Trump on his lies, which is practically, they say, every time he opens his mouth.  Here\u2019s a Breitbart story: “Activists Petition Lester Holt to Challenge Trump, Fact-Check Debate.”<\/a> They are really worried going into this thing, folks.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Yeah, grab audio sound bite number seven.  It\u2019s what I was referring to right before the break.  We have an audio sound bite here from Jeff Zeleny, formally of the New York Times.  He\u2019s now CNN senior Washington correspondent, and this was on Sunday\u2019s Inside Politics show. John King\u2019s talking to him about the state of Ohio and the Hillary campaign.  Tell me what you think of this.<\/p>\n

ZELENY:  So long Ohio.  It\u2019s been 20 days since Hillary Clinton stepped foot into this classic battleground state, and she\u2019s not expected to visit it again in the month of September.  That is a nod to the political reality there facing her campaign.  She is struggling mightily among white voters, and the campaign has not yet written it off and they will push back and say we\u2019re still spending money there, et cetera. But Ohio, the mother of all battleground states, is not in her wheelhouse anymore. For Democrats in Ohio —<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n

ZELENY:  — who are hoping to see her again.  She\u2019s not been there since Labor Day and not coming back. <\/p>\n

KING: Wow, I mean —<\/p>\n

ZELENY:  Unbelievable.<\/p>\n

KING: — you think of it as the big middle of the country, big battleground state.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Are you kidding me?  The Hillary campaign\u2019s writing off Ohio?  Let me tell you about Ohio.  There\u2019s one stat you need to know about Ohio if you believe stats, and that is Republicans do not win the White House if they don\u2019t win Ohio.  Another way of putting it that\u2019s less confusing without all the double negatives: In order for the Republican historically, statistically, to win the White House, he or she has to win Ohio.  And now Hillary\u2019s pulling up stakes and getting out of there, suffering the white vote? <\/p>\n

You know, I saw a spread the other day in a poll breakdown, maybe it was a survey, but get this.  Among white males who did not go to college, Donald Trump is plus 59.  He is 59 points ahead of Hillary with white men that didn\u2019t go to college.  Mitt Romney won that group by 31.  Romney was plus 31 over Obama in that category. <\/p>\n

Now, before you start going nuts, “Well, Rush, who wants that group?  That\u2019s a bunch of –” no, no, no, no, do not think that, folks.  White men who don\u2019t go to college is an increasing phenomenon because of the chickification of universities.  Male enrollment at institutions of higher learning has been trending down for a long time now, for a host of reasons.  If these people turn around and vote — don\u2019t doubt for a moment the Hillary campaign\u2019s scared to death of this number.  And this Jeff Zeleny guy just mentioned it by the fact that Hillary is losing the white vote. <\/p>\n

The white female vote she\u2019s holding onto.  That would basically be the pro-choice vote, for all intents and purposes.  But she is struggling mightily among white voters, quote, unquote, Jeff Zeleny.  Not just white male voters who didn\u2019t go to college, but white voters, period.  I don\u2019t care what you think or what you\u2019ve heard, they are still the majority of voters when you add men and women and the other demographics to it. <\/p>\n

Pulling out of Ohio?  Colorado they thought they had in the bag, and they pulled out of Ohio a couple of months ago or a month ago, and now Trump is pulled even in Ohio.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
