1. Draw your conclusions

[tallahasseedem]

2. That's why we need to keep up the fight against Trump...

it's working and working well!

[tgards79]

3. I wish Bernie would join in...

...instead of continuing his ego trip.

[DCBob]

4. Wow.. it's really getting ugly.

[dubyadiprecession]

5. Hillary breaking 50% with Likely voters in a poll is extremely impressive this early on in the GE..

I sounds like trump is in very serious trouble.

6. Hillary must be tickled to know she's running against what's probably the weakest opposing candidate

in election history.

7. Do you have a link? This might be old. "Mar-16" is probably March 2016

[tgards79]

10. Nope. Today at 5 PM.

Also on RCP.

12. The numbers you listed are the reference numbers from March.

That's why it says, "Mar-16" and "Percentages given for reference, but not valid for direct comparison".

When they change a question from one survey to the next, they leave the prior question and the related data in for reference purposes.

The current numbers are right above those:

Clinton: 48
Trump: 35
Johnson: 8
Would not vote: 2
Not sure: 6

RCP has it 49/37 for Bloomberg

14. Thanks for the link...this part is interesting too:

Asked only of likely voters; n=750. MoE: ±3.6
percentage points. Ever Never Not sure
1st choice or
lean in
horserace
Hillary Clinton 6 43 2 49
Donald Trump 7 55 1 37
Gary Johnson 22 44 25 9

55% of voters said they'd never vote for Trump... while 54-56% would consider voting for Hillary

15. It's 49-37 +12 Clinton

9. Love it but hope they don't get spooked

11. Here's a link. Those are the results from March -- they're just using them for reference.

See page 6. They left it in for reference since the new poll includes Gary Johnson.

The current numbers are:

Clinton: 48
Trump: 35
Johnson: 8
Would not vote: 2
Not sure: 6

13. No Surprise

Despite her not being that well loved overall she almost cannot lose to that fluke flake candidate.

Non college educated males are Trump's biggest bloc by far, they would have to turn out in historic numbers for him to even have a remote chance.

I also suspect that some republicans supporting or even having endorsed him will not vote for him once in that booth. I think this could be a bigger rout than Tricky Dick and McGovern in 1972.
