but 42% will still vote for that idiot. Come on he ought to be losing by at least 25 points. This is they type of thing that contributes to me losing my faith in the people of this Country.

Even 46% wouldn't be enough. Independents are abandoning him en masse.

John McCain lost to Obama in 2008 by a bigger spread than what this polling has Trump losing by. I don't consider losing by 4 or 5 points an annihilation. I would consider Trump losing 35,40 or more States annihilation.
