A big headline greets everybody the next day.&nbsp; But in fact Truman had. The reason they were surprised is nobody polled in the last two weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Drive-Bys might want to think about that because the news apparently is not good for them.&nbsp; Some new survey showed that Clinton\u2019s national polling edge is narrowing, and in some of the battleground states, Florida and Ohio as well. &#8220;Hillary Lead Cut in Half in Washington Post\/ABC Tracking Poll.&#8221;&nbsp; However, the AP is here to pick up the slack. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Okay.&nbsp; A couple little additional bits of information.&nbsp; In the Fox poll last week that had Hillary up six, they oversampled the Democrats by 9%.&nbsp; This week, with Hillary\u2019s lead cut from six points to three points, the Democrat oversample in the Fox News poll is 7%.&nbsp; So you reduce the number of Democrats in the sample and Hillary\u2019s support comes down.&nbsp; It makes sense.&nbsp; The ABC\/Washington Post tracking poll oversampled Democrats by 7%.&nbsp; Democrats 36% of the group, Republicans 29%.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of these people are independents and unaffiliated and all that, and we\u2019re being told that there are more of them than there are Republicans and Democrats.&nbsp; But the thing to do is, when you look at all these, you add the Democrats to the unaffiliated and the independents.&nbsp; For example, in the ABC\/Washington Post tracking poll, you\u2019ve got 36% Democrats and 29% Republican. Some of the independents are for Hillary you gotta figure and some of the unaffiliated, so basically you have a sample, and out of a hundred percent of it, 29% are people who say they\u2019re Republican.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_129614\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HillaryShortSigns_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">Now, you could take that for what it\u2019s worth.&nbsp; I\u2019m not attaching any scientific significance to it because I am not a scientific pollster.&nbsp; I\u2019m just giving you the way I look at these things.&nbsp; You remember, now, my headline today is:&nbsp; Nobody knows.&nbsp; So let\u2019s just do a quick review here.&nbsp; Fox News:&nbsp; Trump has cut Hillary\u2019s lead in half.&nbsp; She\u2019s up three from six.&nbsp; TheHill.com shows a couple of other polls.&nbsp; Real Clear Politics national average, Clinton\u2019s lead softened from seven points to five points.&nbsp; ABC\/Washington Post tracking poll.&nbsp; This is amazing.&nbsp; A few days ago ABC News reported a 12-point lead for Hillary Clinton in their tracking poll.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>By the way, this 12-point lead stuff and 11-point lead, do you remember what Obama beat McCain by in \u201908?&nbsp; It was seven point something, eight points, something like that, in 2012 Obama beat Romney by 3.8 points.&nbsp; What is this 11- and 12-point lead stuff?&nbsp; You notice it\u2019s dwindling now.&nbsp; All these polls, somebody said this was gonna happen as we get closer to Election Day.&nbsp; But, but, wait a minute, we\u2019ve got the AP here.&nbsp; We have the Associated Press, and the Associated Press does not reflect anything that you just heard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hillary Clinton appears on the cusp of a commanding victory, says the AP today.&nbsp; &#8220;Hillary Clinton appears on the cusp of a potentially commanding victory over Donald Trump, fueled by solid Democratic turnout in early voting, massive operational advantages and increasing enthusiasm among her supporters.&#8221;&nbsp; Overall, the AP poll shows Clinton leading Trump by 14 points among likely voters, 51-37.&nbsp; So the Fox poll cuts it in half, six to three.&nbsp; The ABC poll, 12 points down to six.&nbsp; Trump is leading in Florida.&nbsp; Bloomberg up by two.&nbsp; AP out here is the outlier at 14 points.&nbsp; Where are they getting all of this enthusiasm for Hillary?&nbsp; I read that and I said, &#8220;What have I missed?&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fueled by solid Democrat turnout in early voting.&#8221;&nbsp; Well, you know, I\u2019ve looked at the numbers in Republican early voting, and there\u2019s two things about that.&nbsp; The numbers are staggering.&nbsp; The number of people who have already voted, early voting, Republicans hold a nominal lead, at least this was as of yesterday.&nbsp; But then you add this:&nbsp; Early voting hasn\u2019t yet begun in three or four really big Trump counties in Florida.&nbsp; It hasn\u2019t even started yet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is truth.&nbsp; I mean, our eyes don\u2019t lie.&nbsp; There hasn\u2019t been any enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton in this whole campaign. She hasn\u2019t been able to draw a crowd anywhere.&nbsp; Her book doesn\u2019t sell.&nbsp; Tim Kaine draws crowds of 30.&nbsp; There hasn\u2019t been any enthusiasm.&nbsp; Now all of a sudden the AP\u2019s got a poll out with a 14-point lead and massive operational advantages, increasing enthusiasm among her supporters.&nbsp; Among likely voters, the poll oversampled Democrats by nine points.&nbsp; They oversampled Democrats in general by 11 points.&nbsp; This poll oversampled registered voters by 10.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_129613\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HillaryDeplorables1-quote-2.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">So the likely voter oversample, Democrat nine.&nbsp; The general, just Democrat whether they\u2019re gonna vote or not, oversample is 11%, and the registered voter segment of the poll, Democrats oversampled by 10 points.&nbsp; And these minor details are buried on page 40 of the 45-page PDF file explaining the results of the AP poll.&nbsp; But they\u2019re there, 14-point lead, AP.&nbsp; What is the next one here?&nbsp; Oh, yes.&nbsp; Another AP story.&nbsp; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/nation-world\/some-waver-from-trump-in-deep-red-ohio-suburbs\/\">&#8220;Some Waver from Trump in Deep-Red Ohio Suburbs.&#8221;<\/a><\/line><\/p>\n<p>They went out here &#8212; this always happens.&nbsp; The AP\u2019s always able to find a Republican fed up with his nominee.&nbsp; They\u2019re always able to do it at this stage of the campaign.&nbsp; &#8220;James Stepp says he is an Ohio Republican who is supporting Democrat Hillary Clinton. His reason? A Trump presidency, he says, would damage the GOP for years to come.&nbsp; &#8216;The party needs to jettison Donald Trump in order to survive,\u2019 said Stepp, 29, of Franklin, in Warren County.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Voting for a Democrat in order to save the Republican Party is not a common thread of presidential campaigns, by any means.

One hundred and fifty days ago, when the general election started it was at five or six.&nbsp; A hundred days ago, it was at five or six.&nbsp; Two weeks ago, it was at five or six.&nbsp; A week ago, it was at five or six.&nbsp; So I think the race is just settling back to its natural equilibrium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>DOWD: If he somehow moves the race below four to three or two, then this race is very competitive.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Oh, so they have nothing to worry about yet?

It\u2019s all because the polls are tight, and now all of a sudden Trump can win, Trump can win.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_129624\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HillaryBackward.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">David Gergen (paraphrasing), &#8220;If the election\u2019s about the economy, if the election\u2019s about jobs, if the election\u2019s about health care, yes, yeah, Trump can win.&#8221;&nbsp; Well, what the hell else is it about?&nbsp; &#8220;Well, if the election\u2019s about personality, if the election\u2019s about competence and fitness, then of course Hillary\u2019s gonna win.&#8221;&nbsp; But wait, yesterday, the day before, last week, it was over.&nbsp; I mean, it was so over, it was a Trump landslide defeat.&nbsp; There wasn\u2019t gonna be any way.&nbsp; It was hopeless for Trump.&nbsp; And now just because some polls have tightened, all bets are off.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And again, I just want to emphasize to all of you, nobody knows, folks.&nbsp; Nobody knows.&nbsp; And the people who are set up as experts, these analysts and commentators on TV, they don\u2019t know.&nbsp; I mean, why do you need somebody to tell you what you already know?&nbsp; Why do you need somebody two days ago telling you Donald Trump doesn\u2019t have a chance, it\u2019s over, every negative they list, and it\u2019s all because of polling data, and maybe their personal desire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And then two days go by and a new poll, series of polls come out and Hillary\u2019s lead is cut in half and all of a sudden Trump can win.&nbsp; You don\u2019t need experts on TV to explain this to you.&nbsp; They aren\u2019t expert.&nbsp; They don\u2019t know anything you don\u2019t know.&nbsp; In fact, they\u2019re in a more dangerous position. They think they know more than they know and they think they are experts here.&nbsp; Cokie Roberts.&nbsp; &#8220;Well, you know, some Republicans are coming home.&nbsp; They\u2019re starting to come home.&#8221;&nbsp; What?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The AP has a story today, this Republican guy out of Warren, Ohio, is gonna vote for Hillary to save the Republican Party.&nbsp; What do you mean, Republicans are coming home?&nbsp; But she said they\u2019re coming home.&nbsp; And she also said, because the polls are tightening, the female support for Hillary, it\u2019s not been all that tight, it\u2019s not been all that solid, it\u2019s always been there, but it hasn\u2019t been that solid.&nbsp; Really?&nbsp; Why didn\u2019t we learn this last week?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, up to now we\u2019ve been told that women hate Donald Trump, have we not?&nbsp; That women hate Trump, that Trump is just considered &#8220;ew&#8221; by all women of any substance, he doesn\u2019t have a prayer.&nbsp; Now all of a sudden women are starting to waffle on Hillary?&nbsp; And we go to the endorsement by The Oprah where she said (paraphrasing), &#8220;Yeah, you don\u2019t have to like her, and you don\u2019t have to have her into your house, but you should vote for her.&#8221;&nbsp; So it\u2019s fluid and it remains fluid and it is not over.&nbsp; Nobody knows.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:&nbsp; I don\u2019t know, it was somebody.&nbsp;
