Polls at this stage of an election don't matter much. The candidate who wins will be the one who generates the most enthusiasm in the weeks leading up to the election. Other influential factors include perception of the economy and national security.
Donald Trump has an excellent opportunity to win because his positions dovetail nicely with what patriotic Americans want for our country. He's the rare major party nominee who does not adhere to a partisan playbook, or speak condescendingly to the masses. He recognizes that social issues are a lost cause for Republicans, and so he deftly focuses his attention toward immigration, trade, manufacturing, entitlements, national security, and Washington corruption. Only Trump had the strategic insight and courage to dispense with political correctness by bluntly articulating what needs to be done:
1. Control our borders
2. Keep terrorists out
3. Prevent outsourcing of jobs
4. Reform entitlements
5. Put America first in deals and treaties
6. Protect America's interests first in foreign policy
7. Invest more resources at home and less abroad
Only Donald Trump can convincingly pledge that he will not be beholden to special interests. Whether he has $10 billion, $5 billion, $1 billion, or "only" $100 million, is irrelevant. He has enough money to not be swayed by special interests. Hillary Clinton can't say that; she has to follow the money. Even her most ardent supporters would concede that she's not exactly Mrs. Clean in that regard. When money no longer serves as a motivation, or necessity for political survival, a president can govern on principle alone.
Donald Trump is a charismatic pragmatist who makes large deals for a living, and knows how to bring the efficiency of the private sector to the public sector. His critics may quibble about the extent of his business success, but few challenge the notion that he significantly expanded whatever he inherited. A president also inherits money to manage by virtue of his status as head of state, and by extension, the economy. Many Americans would like to see a business man manage our money for once.
Liberals cannot effectively demonize Trump as a social conservative because his record is the antithesis of social conservative. Even in this election, in a Republican debate no less, he stood up for Planned Parenthood. That's just one of several examples.
Donald Trump will be an excellent president of the United States. He will make us all proud to be Americans.
