66. Technically it's called a "virtual tie" because it is within the MOE.

And sorry to burst your bubble, but she clearly is not beating Bush in Florida. You can parse that til the cows come home, but the numbers are still the numbers.

I don't get why some here get their knickers in a twist over polling this far out. It's virtually meaningless and reflects in large part name recognition, in this case the well-known entities of Bush and Clinton.

Nobody has even declared their candidacy, yet some of you are ready for a coronation. Calm the fuck down. Seriously.
