Donald Trump is having a bad month.

Not only are his poll numbers slipping, they are at a low that no one, Republican or Democrat, has seen at this time in the campaign in more than 15 years.

“(T)here’s no way to look at Trump’s national polling that avoids the grim reality that he is at a lower ebb than any general election candidate has hit in the last three elections,” the National Review’s Dan McLaughlin wrote last week.

Comparing the window of time between 200 and 100 days before each of the last three elections, you can see that Trump has consistently polled worse than George W. Bush in 2004, John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012.

1. Aww...

I'm waiting for Donald Trump's feeling's to be hurt so badly he'll lash out. That's always fun to see!

2. No doubt he'll say it's the media's fault

his poll numbers are low. It's always someone else's fault with Dumpy.

6. The FReaks are saying that the media has been hammering tRump for two months.

They already say that all the media are "in the tank" for Hillary.

A typical kind of statement is that such-and-such reporter/anchor was a supporter of tRump, but has now "got their marching orders" from the higher ups.

If everything goes their way, it is a "blessing" from Jesus. If it doesn't, then it is a massive conspiracy of the highest order. They think that Ryan is a very willing active participant in putting the fix in for Hillary.

Even so, there is a lot of grumbling about tRump's campaign among the minority who don't blame the media for everything. The slightly saner ones among them are celebrating Manafort's rise over the dismissed Lewandowski as a chance to get the campaign to professionalize. Tough going with a narcissist at the top who doesn't know how to change.

3. Hillary Clinton Is Statistically The Most Favored Presidential Candidate In Modern History

4. He just needs to fire them all. They are bad. The worst.

5. The gop convention

is going to look like the scene from the goat party in the movie Dragnet (Hanks- Aykroyd) where everyone is running crazy around taking drugs............

7. The best part? He still has room to go down!

Trump is an opposition researcher's dream. Opposition research tends to focus on fairly small things because, in the main, someone running for president is an honorable person.

Did Bush show up for his National Guard duty? (As bad of a pilot as he was, they were probably really happy when he DIDN'T show up!)
Were Kerry's war wounds all that bad?
Did Clinton attend an antiwar protest when he was at Oxford?
Did Romney put a dog on top of his car when he went on vacation?

Trump is a different story: In Mr. Donald Trump we have a bona fide crook and, quite possibly, the worst asshole ever to run for office in the history of the Republic.

Even better: Trump doesn't understand election law. He believes he can get all the free TV time he wants which will keep him from having to buy ads. His problem is, they can't give him free air and not her because that would be considered an in-kind political contribution...and he'd be limited to $2700 worth of it per network. According to http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/how-much-does-it-cost-to-buy-an-ad-on-the-primetime-broadcast-news-programs/36726, one 30-second insertion on NBC's Dateline costs $50,000. Prime-time entertainment shows are a lot more expensive. $50,000 for 30 seconds comes out to $1667 per second...which means the network could legally give him 1.6 seconds of airtime before Trump would have to reimburse him.

Unless he builds a campaign organization and starts raising money, his "coverage" will be limited to the most outrageous parts of his speeches, covered as news items in a special segment titled "Can you believe he said that?" Hillary, OTOH, is raising money and running devastating spots against him - and she's only going to get meaner.

8. All right!

Hopefully people are coming to their senses.

9. Delicate balance here...

He goes completely ape shit, and they will have a valid excuse to have him replaced.

10. The 'pugs are going to dump Trump

In the process helping make Cleveland the biggest bloodiest mess since Chicago 1968.

11. so.. what are the numbers?

[AntiBank]

14. yes, I see none at the link

[Person 2713]

13. Good to know but scary the number of supporters he still has. So sad people voting for Trump

is still astonishingly high when considering what he has been saying , and they agree.
