Clinton Opens Up Wide Lead Over Trump

July 30, 2016By Taegan Goddard9 Comments
The new RABA Research tracking poll shows Hillary Clinton has opened a significant lead over Donald Trump, now leading him by 15 points, 46% to 31%, with Gary Johnson at 7% and Jill Stein sits at 2%.

A similar poll conducted the day after the Republican convention showed Clinton ahead by only five points.

P.S. EVERY POLL IS A DATA POINT. I KNOW IT IS TEMPTING BUT BETTER TO NOT GET TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW.

1. This is legit

It's an online poll, but they have methodologies that make this a legit data point.

Please let some of the more known polls come in Hillary +10, we all probably need the sleep.

2. Every poll is a data point. But I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Somewhere a Trumpist is seeing that poll and is depressed or in disbelief.

[Lefthacker]

4. Internal polling

Maybe a Trumpuppet sees this and gets depressed or dismisses the polling. However if their so called team has any, and I mean even the tiniest bit of internal organization they should have seen this coming. If they haven't expected numbers in this ballpark their camp is even more of a Keystone Cops type effort than I thought.
Hillarys team has gobs of data and internal numbers.

12. Yes-Example: Rasmussen Has Moved Toward Clinton +8 in About a Week

same with Reuters/Ipsos

3. Online poll

From a group that has only been around since March of this year.

5. Used on 538

Silver must be OK with their methodologies. And online polls were accurate in 2012, they compensate for demographics now.

[oberliner]

15. With a very low weight

I think it gets 2 out of 5. As opposed to, say, PPP, which gets 5 out of 5.

Just something to consider.

24. +1, this is important

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Being an online poll and producing accurate results are not mutually exclusive, neither is being new

[oberliner]

14. Agreed

But more established polling companies tend to be more reliable for the most part. Also, online polls are often problematic.

That is not to dismiss the results of this poll entirely, but to consider the above factors.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Point well taken. It makes me feel good though.

[oberliner]

18. I'm all for feeling good!

And I do like our chances in November.

I'm just one of those "the polls don't really mean much right now" kind of people.

19. these days online would be more accurate than telephone polls

who answers the house phone? That's got to be a demographic that would not be representative any more.

21. I sure as hell don't answer my home phone, it's just for the wife's fax machine and emergencies

We live in the backwoods of Montana. Only have a cell signal because of the booster. When the electric goes out - no cell.

[treestar]

22. Bet it is beautiful there though!

I drove through some of the southernmost part of Montana on a trip out west some years ago - saw the site of Custer's Battle, Yellowstone, Devil's Tower, Mt. Rushmore. It was amazing. I really loved all the open space and the blue sky and endless yellow fields.

27. We live up by Glacier, about 45 minutes west. My wife took these photos recently.

A surprise snow in the night when we camped at St. Mary. It was all melted (in the lower elevations) by 9am - but just crazy beautiful. I think the high ended up being in the 50's or 60's that day.



And this a great kayaking spot.



And this is one she took on one of the trails we did a couple weeks ago.

7. WOO HOO!!! YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm sure the rest of the polls coming out will look similar...YES!

[TheBlackAdder]

8. Boom Boom Acka Lacka Lacka Boom!

9. Oh my!!

[workinclasszero]

10. WOOHOO!!

(doing my happy dance)

Go Clinton/Kaine!!!

[JSup]

11. I also won't look...

...a gift horse in the mouth, but this poll (unless I fudged the addition) leaves 14% unaccounted for and, during the primaries, the unaccounted for could surprise us.

I won't be completely non-paranoid until Hillary is over 50% (which I 100% believe is possible).

[tallahasseedem]

13. I hope this is a reputable firm!

Because if so, YAY!!!

[Democat]

17. This poll is as reliable as the ones that Trump touts

But that doesn't mean it's right.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. It won't make the media happy. They're bound to do someyhing. . .

. . . to keep what shouldn't be close a tight race.

[Skidmore]

23. Don't take it for granted.

I don't trust that this crazy jerk and his minions won't try lots of dirty tricks. GOTV GOTV GOTV

[unitedwethrive]

25. I know we're not supposed to get to excited…

But this is way better than the other way around!

[redstateblues]

26. The MSM will go into overdrive to close the gap
