Considering she lost, though, it's nice to see today's candidates polling much better this far out.

Hillary didn't "lose" and tRUMP didn't "win". As I remember, Hillary won the popular vote by a count

Yawn. If you "lose" the electoral college due to ratfuckery it's not a loss, it's ratfuckery.

The republican primaries were still wide open at that time.
Still nice to see. Should be +20 though!!

I wonder how Sanders was doing vs. Trump this far out last time. He was not as well known then, but I know he generally polled well against Trump.

of 3 million and that's not a losing number. The electoral college called the election for tRUMP due
to the known ratfuckery of the reTHUGS and sPutin and don't forget it!

You don't win a baseball game for having more hits if the other team gets more runs.

electoral state polls on swing states is what matters.
