(6,991 posts)May is a bit too early to be believing in polling showing whose going to be POTUS in November. Also, how accurate IS the polling being used, and is the weighting of the people participating in the polling accurate? We definitely have a volatile electorate, but you have polling outfits out there not even polling huge segments of the population and trying to pass that off as "good" polling. Also, I usually go more by state to state polling as a better way of keeping my sanity during presidential elections. Also as far as polling goes, there is evidence to show that people tend to vote differently in the primaries than they do in the GE. People aren't really engaged right now with Memorial Day coming and with all of the activity of Summer on people's minds, and the biggest factor happening now is that Hillary Clinton is still engaged in a primary with Bernie Sanders on the Dem side, however the primary race is SOON to be over by June 14th, and Hillary Clinton will BE the Democratic nominee for POTUS. Finally, we haven't had one debate, and I'm very sure in a head-to-head debate contest, Hillary will do very well vs Trump who has not one policy idea in that big, empty head of his--all he knows how to do is insult people and lie, plus as many know Trump is benefiting from an "angry electorate" who are buying into the "it's their fault," misogynistic, sexist and race-baiting he's doing that exists not only in society and of course within the GOP. The man is exceedingly dangerous and shape-shifts like a chameleon. He is someone to be reckoned with, however, when you try to pin him down on anything, the man reveals himself as the biggest "Nothing Burger" we've seen running for political office in a long time.
Finally, Elizabeth Warren has been one of Hillary Clinton's biggest weapons/assets to date in going after Trump and embarrassing him like the clown that he is on social media, but I REALLY look forward to when Barack Obama can officially say that Hillary Clinton IS our nominee for president, then goes out campaigning with Hillary Clinton and on her behalf and using the bully pulpit to start shredding Trump into pieces as only President Obama can do.
