Dumb Bloomberg poll

Hillary leads by 4 with indendents, but the reason I think this poll is dumb is because they should have just done a regular national poll. This tells us nothing

The ranks of Independents has gotten to the point where everyone needs to pay attention to them these days. Let's not forget that President Obama LOST the independent vote (both races, I think) and still won so Hillary leading with independents is very telling.

We win independents by 4, we win the election, period.
