They're not amazing, they are terrible, particularly combined with his unfavorable numbers. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #7

Those Not Sure's are the target arcane1 Jul 2015 #5
And judging from how his unfavorables rise as folks get to know him, they wont break his way. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #8
Oh they will. Yes indeed! arcane1 Jul 2015 #11
No they won't, and we can see that from the trend already. As people get to know him stevenleser Jul 2015 #20
Once people see through the smears, they'll love him n/t arcane1 Jul 2015 #23
Has nothing to do with smears it has to do with knowing what he is about stevenleser Jul 2015 #25
That explains all the empty stadiums he's appearing in. eom Qutzupalotl Jul 2015 #13
Trump is drawing huge crowds too, and his unfavorables are also sky high stevenleser Jul 2015 #19
Remind us again how many people Clinton drew in the enormous city of New York? arcane1 Jul 2015 #24
Enough to win it by large margins each time she ran for senate here. stevenleser Jul 2015 #26
New York isn't America. She has to win over the people who chose Obama over her last time :) arcane1 Jul 2015 #28
And now you move the goalposts after discussing New York. Hillary will win it all stevenleser Jul 2015 #30
