The Trump Surge Continues to Grow

Hello again sports fans. IWS Radio Chief Analytics Correspondent Nick Dorris back with another look at the state of the 2016 presidential race. Wow! What a difference a few days make, huh? Donald Trump is SURGING into a strong lead both in the popular vote AND in the Electoral College vote. Looks like Trump’s closing argument is really starting to work with the American people. It’s starting to look like voters are tuning Hillary Clinton out.

Also, while there has been a lot of talk about Hillary’s vaunted GOTV ground game, it looks like it’s the Trump supporters who are getting out there and voting. While Clinton might have a slight edge in early vote in battleground states like Florida, North Carolina and Louisiana, the Trump plan of overwhelming his opponent with huge crowds are rallies looks to be working out pretty good for him.

As you can see from the map below, Trump is now sitting on 288 electoral votes to Hillary’s 220. Only New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Nevada are tossups at this point. Since you only need 270 electoral votes to be elected president, Trump is just working on running up the score and getting that big mandate that all presidents look for when they come into office.

In the popular vote I have Donald Trump at 48% to Hillary Clinton’s 44% with Jill Stein, Gary Johnson and Evan McMullen totaling 16%. As Trump continues to climb in the popular vote he will consolidate the vote in the tossup states and possibly even flip a couple of the blue states like Connecticut and Oregon. Barring some kind of blockbuster news, I suspect that will happen over the next couple of days.

Okay then, I’ll be back again this weekend with another update and of course, I will be discussing my analysis of the race on IWS Radio this Sunday which will be on in PRIME TIME starting at 8 pm ET! Until then, remember: The Numbers Never Lie!  

Facebook Confirms What We All Knew...Matt-Man Rocks!!

Greetings…Cheers…and a Happy Hump Day to You All!!

Matt-Man here for IWS Radio today and recently, my spirits have been lifted exponentially; I am awash in a sea of validation as a human being, and my typically almost non-existent ego is expanding as quickly as the universe.

Let me tell you, folks…

Yesterday, Jayman wrote a great post about a handful of prominent scumbags and assholes who exist in American society today, but you know who isn’t an asshole, and who in fact, is one well-liked son of a bitch?

This Guy!!

I know…You are saying to yourselves…

“Gee, how do you know this?  Did you have a poll conducted by the polling agency called, Me, Myself, and I?”

Not at all…I used a polling firm far more accurate than Gallup.  Far more in-depth than IPSOS.  And totally more hard to spell than Quinnipiac.

I used Facebook.  That’s right!!

You see, this past Sunday, I posted on my Facebook page…

“What, if anything, do you like about me?”

After posting that question on my timeline, and awaiting the comments, I sat glued to my screen expecting few comments , or a handful of comments full of scorn and ridicule, however…

I received comments such as the following…

“I like the way you smoke multiple cigarettes at the same time.”

“You have no bias…you insult all equally.”

“You crack me up and cook a lot.”  Which corroborates the following comment…

“You amuse me.  I also admire your mad culinary skills.  You really know your way around a can of Spam.”

See how my uber-likeability is trending?  People dig me!!

From a well-read and published author of the male sex…“Your calves, when you wear high heels…”

Our very own IWS resident Lemon Poppy Seed maker Missalicious, chimed in with…

“You’re a good egg.”

And by that, I am sure that Miss means that I am full of protein and can be either a main course, or an elegantly pretty egg wash sheen atop a bundle of muffins.  Which makes perfect sense, because the uber-sultry Carly said of me…

“You are shiny.”

Word.  And thank you.

There were many other comments that said among other nice things, that I was very likeable because, “what you see, is what you get.”

Really…I do like that, and I appreciate those comments the most, because for bad or good, I like to keep it that way.

I will say…There was one comment that disturbed me…A long time friend, who happens to be a nurse, responded to my question of, what do you like about me, by saying…

“Not a damn thing.”

It’s hurtful to know that the poison of Obamacare has sunk down to the bedside caretaker level, and washed away all humanity and compassion.  But, I will recover…You know why?

People on Facebook, and mainly chicks on Facebook, dig me!!

Cheers!!

Matt-Man
