Now it's all but 50/50 and she's limping to the finish line.

For the general, it looks like she's starting 50/50... if the trend holds she will have the worst performance of any Democratic nominee, ever.

62. Gallup Poll from October 18, 2012
Thu May 19, 2016, 06:38 PM
May 2016

not six months before the election:

"Romney opens up 7-point lead over Obama, as electoral map begins to shift"

Mitt Romney's national lead over President Obama grew even more Thursday, with the latest Gallup survey showing the Republican nominee up 7 points -- as polling in the battlegrounds indicates the electoral map may be shifting in Romney's favor.

In a significant development, the RealClearPolitics electoral map, which offers predictions of which states favor which candidates, for the first time is showing Romney ahead in terms of electoral votes he is likely to win on Nov. 6.
