In reply to the discussion: Please don't anyone get too excited about poll leads now. Hillary was very far ahead [View all]DonaldsRump
(7,715 posts)8. I am very optimistic for Joltin' Joe to trounce Fat Donny
That being said, LET US NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED. The Repubs and Trump/Putin will lie, cheat, and steal to keep the Presidency and the Senate. If they don't win, everything they have done becomes exposed, and they go to prison.
This is an EXISTENTIAL THREAT, for them and FOR US.
We must fight every second of the way until November 3, 2020, and then January 20, 2021, and then thereafter.
Don't lose sight of what they can do...and what we can do!

There is no comparison. Clinton's lead went up (10 points) one month and 2 the next

Hillary's lead was substantial till the Comey letter, which knocked it down to 2%.

Excellent statement of facts instead of myths. Clinton's % wasn't consistently high as Biden's.
