CNN Poll July 2015: Hillary Clinton 51, Jeb Bush 46; Bush Over Trump In August - Video CNN is making a lot out of their August 2015 Opinion Research Poll, reporting that Donald Trump is within "striking distance" of Hillary Clinton with 45 percent in the poll of just over 1,000 people, where Clinton has 51 percent. Aside from the fact that the poll calls more landline users than cellphone users by design, and by a constant ratio of roughly 600 to 400 in the poll data I've looked at for this year thus far, the more shocking news is that in July, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush was a point closer to Clinton. That's right. In the July 2015 CNN / Opinion Research Poll, the pollsters asked the same question to voter and to registered voters and comparing Clinton and Bush. The result: Hillary Clinton 51 percent to Jeb Bush 46 percent, and that was for both total sample and for registered voters! So I then checked to determine if CNN had reported that Bush was so close

Oakland Raiders Working On Own Coliseum City Stadium Plan - Video Oakland Raiders working on stadium plan for Oakland! The Oakland Raiders held a meeting with members of the City of Oakland, the County of Alameda, and the Oakland Alameda County Joint Powers Authority today. The good news is the Raiders are working on their own version of Coliseum City. If you are wondering if that means that Floyd Kephart is out, the answer is that yes, he soon will be. The problem for the Raiders is that there is a $400 million commercial development revenue gap that they are trying to figure out how to fill with their design. If they used my Coliseum City concept, the hotel revenue throw off would be $328 million. Meanwhile Kephart is holding his own public meeting Tuesday, August 25th at Lunomare Restaurant in Oakland at 8:30 am. It's a public presentation for invited guests and ahead of the September 4th Oakland City Council Meeting on Coliseum City. via IFTTT http://youtu.be/yzlC57wacDQ
