Nervous Nellie/Debbie Downer Poll: Hillary Should Be Ahead By ?? [View all]

We hear it all the time on DU: Hillary should be ahead of Trump by 10, 15, 20 or more points.

Never mind that such margins are laughable and impossible to achieve in our polarized electorate, where 40-45% of the electorate will vote for a bigoted orangutan as long as he's a Republican; never mind that Hillary's current lead is as high as 15 points in at least one poll; never mind that on average, her lead is comparable to - or even ahead of - the lead Obama held on Romney in 2012 after the conventions. It's Hillary, and Hillary is held to a different standard than others because she's Hillary.

So here's your chance to get it out of your system - vote below to tell us just how far ahead of Trump Hillary should be right now, today. Then please shut the hell up and spare us your nonsensical and arbitrary benchmarks (notice I said "please.&quot
