Last two RCP-included polls show Trump leading Clinton

[ExPatty 502]

Fox poll out yesterday (or day before) showed a lead of 3 points. The source has credibility issues, but it's not like it was an internet poll; it was a professionally run poll. Today Rasmussen shows a 5 point lead.

Good job, Democrats. For those who supported Bernie, you have my sympathy. You hate Trump, I get it, but you knew Hillary wasn't the answer. He's the antithesis to Trump, but he is also off the mainstream and that willingness to take a chance deserves some credit. It seems a lot of people agree with you, just unfortunately not quite enough. She is now widely considered a weak candidate for the democrats. Short of an indictment incurring a fatal strike to her campaign, the dems stand an increasingly good chance now of losing to Trump in November.

I think she is still favored but the odds are getting worse all the time. I do hope she loses. This country needs a major kick in its fat behind and the status quo is not great for a lot of people.

sad.

The worst part is the fraud charges proceeding against Trump (for the Trump University scam) aren't likely to hurt him much either, since most people have already accepted that he is a fraud.

[smilesammich 10,727]

and the fact that he's a fraud is a bonus point, for somehow being outside the realm of 'establishment'

Well if we're going to let hillary get away with holding state secrets on a basement server after signing documents saying specifically she wouldn't treat them that way I think a bungled business, one of hundreds if not thousands he's been involved in shouldn't expect much attention.

She has hands on experience.

I wonder if Hillary will use the same desk Monica was under.

Rassumusen had an average of 4.2 point error in favor of Republican candidates, they do daily Robo Dial and internet poll. I do not believe that Hillary has only 37 % of the popular vote. Fox news polls have been consitently 5 to 10 points higher than all other polls favoring Trump. One needs to look at trending and not a single poll

Fox news still has Romney 2% points ahead of Obama for the 2012 election.

This one is so great it deserves to be used in more than just one thread...

Well, it was two polls, and if you check the link there is a very nice trend chart on the same page. Shows last July Trump was obliterated by Clinton. Then in September he had closed the gap and since then they have flirted close to parity with an average ~4 point favor to Clinton except for this past march where she was well ahead again and that lead has been consistently shrinking since. This is why RCP gives a 3.1 favor to her now.

Trump has received a good bump since he became the presumptive nominee. Once Sanders quits the race I am guessing Clinton will get a bump as well.

I actually think Sanders is staying in the race as long as possible because he knows there is a chance Clinton will be torpedoed by something (e.g. indictment), so it can't hurt to hang on a bit longer.
