Aug 2015

The first analysis is telling, she's gotten more Senate endorsements earlier than probably any candidate in history, and she's been building on those since the article was written in April.

She's maintained solid support since early this year, still more than all other opponents (including "not sure"!) combined. Yes, there was a "Sanders Surge" in the May/June timeframe, but that just got him from single digits to mid-teens, where he seems to have leveled off.

I'd be interested in an updated assessment to the 50% conclusion from back in April. At that time there wasn't yet a clown car full of republican hopefuls and there wasn't a Donald Trump in play. My guess is that he'd see her at better than 50% with those developments.

Overall, it's looking very good for Hillary Clinton. That's probably why she was mentioned dozens of times at the republican debate on Thursday, Sanders not once.
