are always very close to Hillary's numbers but the media never mentions this point. Even on MSNBC, every time they mention this fact about Hillary, they fail to mention that his are the same or only slightly less. The fact that Mika sits there and lets this shit go right over people's heads without saying anything about his, after all her Know Your Value - Women's seminars, makes me despise her as well.

Also, hers are low after decades of investigations, lies, NewsMax books, etc. Trump is dishonest about everything. He'd lie if you asked him what day it is.

I'll take it, it's definitely good news and the Trumpster Fire is in full blown inferno, still...GOTV is the key. No matter what the Talking Yam and his supporters do, say or try...if enough registered and leaning Democratic voters show up in November, Trump will lose.

The only way he can win is via massive voter ennui or suppression.

Showed an unusually large dip for her, showing a 10 point drop. It's likely this bump is a bit exaggerated because the previous poll was a outlier. It looks like her bump will average out to 5-6 points, maybe a bit better.

and the convention was so stellar, I thought it could hit 15. Still might as more people revile Don the Con's antics. Whiskey tango foxtrot were these clowns thinking voting for him. Still, the alternatives may have been just as bad and equally or more difficult to beat.

are ultimately going to go for the less scary candidate. Trump is going to scare the shit out of people who are fine with him being an asshole and a bigot, but not fine with him floundering in the debates or interviews, looking weak, crazy and not capable of faking competence by even their low standards.

Trump is definitely the ideal candidate for Hillary to be facing.

This is the bounce we've been waiting for!

I think Trump will outperform polls because people are embarrassed to admit they are voting for him (this happened with Reagan in 1980), so I am not happy unless/until Hillary is up by at least 7 points and above 50%.

If these numbers hold I will be very happy.

They ask you who you plan to vote for, and some ask who you voted to in the last election. Why would anyone be embarrassed about who they are voting for? It's not like they are going to call up your neighbor and tell them, You're voting for Trump.

These are massive numbers and they don't even include the Khan fall out. A route is coming in November. And get ready for Trump to start acting out worse.

Schmidt(R), who said that if Clinton didn't receive a bounce after the convention, she was in deep trouble, but if she retook to the lead, it would last clear up till election day, and that Trump would be toast.

He said the Democratic Convention was practically flawless, and that was why if she didn't get a bounce it signaled trouble.

Keep all her promises and she and Obama will forever be known as the most honest and greatest presidents.

GOTV to give her the senate and equalize maybe the house.

Stick to every campaign promise. Simple.

The only numbers that matter are the state-by-state numbers. It's ALL about the stupid electoral college.
