Primary season has ended, and Hillary Clinton is heading into the general election with a clear lead over Donald Trump, new national polling shows.

A slate of recently released surveys all show Clinton ahead of Trump, although her edge ranges from 2 percentage points in an online Morning Consult poll to 9 points in a phone survey from the American Research Group.

The results of three other polls fall in the middle: Phone surveys from CNN/ORC and Monmouth University show Clinton up by 5 and 7 points, respectively, while NBC/SurveyMonkey’s online tracking poll gives her a 6-point lead.

HuffPost Pollster’s model, which combines all publicly available polling data, shows Clinton with an average lead of more than 7 points, with 45 percent to Trump’s 38 percent.

That represents a shift from earlier in the month, when other surveys indicated a much closer race.................................






NBC’s polling team attributes the shift in part to independents souring on Trump.

“This week, 36 percent of Independents said they support Clinton and the same number said they support Trump,” they write. “In the past, however, this group of voters has generally preferred Trump over Clinton.”........................

1. CNN spinning it way closer, as their own poll came out today, including crap about

trump's big lead on trust and handling the economy

they failed to cite any other poll at all today; certainly no mention of any aggregates

4. Networks try to talk only about their own polls on the day they are released.

Although I did hear them referring to two polls in OH and PA. I don't think those were CNN polls were they?

3. My prediction, by the conventions Trump will be either 10 points down or spending time with family

and out of the race already.

9. just don't get too cocky or overconfident

Donald Trump is a fucking joker, in many senses of the word.

I see many polls that show Hillary and Trump damn near neck-and-neck. IMHO, that huge money advantage Hillary enjoys right now doesn't really mean that much. This jackass Trump can get all the free PR he wants just by opening his frikkin' mouth.

So far, I think Hillary is playing it right. Gotta be careful with that mango psycho.

It's gonna be a crazy political summer.

And watch out for that slimeball Manafort.

11. His media may be free

His ground game with multiple co-ordinated layers of staffing, his data management, his communications management, his internal polling, his campaign leadership, his political strategy, his targetted response, his opposition research, and all the other facets of a modern campaign which he either lacks or has paltry simulacra instead, surely are not free. Campaigns are not won by calling into Fox News and sending tweets.

13. I hope you are right

Clinton has all the items you noted. Trump hardly has any. And yet, in many polls, they are neck-and-neck.

Something is wrong here.

14. Good news, but keep working, we should not rest

The Republicans went into this thinking this would be some sort of referendum on Obama legacy-wise and that's how they ended up with Trump, he embodies the conspiracy theories and the absolutist opposition for the sake of opposition.

So let's give them that referendum.
