Clinton 42 Trump 34

[7962]

1. Is that ALL?

i wouldve thought double digits by now. Oh well, maybe after a few more trump press conferences!!

[yeoman6987]

4. I hope it stays

She definitely got a bump for being the presumptive nominee. Trump got it too a month ago. Thankfully for now trump has wasted it.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. It is shameful it's even this close. That clown should be at about 10.

[MariaThinks]

3. The bottom is about 25-30%.

There are at least that many loons who will vote republican no matter what.

[TwilightZone]

14. Even Cheney was in the 25% range at the end, so that's probably about the floor.

You can get 25% of the public to agree with pretty much anything.

[DCBob]

5. The "Mexican" Judge scandal kicking in now!

[DCBob]

6. That PDF doesnt work. Just one page.

I got it to work by downloading it first.

[geek tragedy]

7. 24% undecided. My hunch is that Trump ain't gonna win a majority of those undecided.

There will be more "I can live with Hillary" rather than "Never Hillary"

[BlueNoMatterWho]

9. Unless there's a terrorist attack or the economy tanks.

[Kingofalldems]

26. Yeah I believe many Trump supporters are hoping for a terrorist attack.

[phazed0]

12. I don't see that number in the poll, where am I missing the 24% number?

On page 19 it says Non/DK=11%

On page 15 "Head to Heads", Don't know/Refused= 6%

[BlueNoMatterWho]

8. Online poll

Damn.

[leftynyc]

18. This is NOT a self selecting

online poll where people can vote more than once. Read up on the methodology before you start complaining.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

20. I'm not complaining. I like this poll. I've just been told by many here that online polls arent good

It had seemed that this was the rule here.

[leftynyc]

21. Self selecting online polls

are bullshit. Like the ones networks do right after debates where anyone can vote, and vote as many times as they like. THOSE are obviously bullshit polls. That has zero to do with this poll.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

22. Right. They didn't make that distinction in their criticism.

[leftynyc]

23. Yes they did

the ones pushing it didn't want to hear it and insisted they were reliable.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

24. No they were lumping all online polls together.

And they believed the methodology in these polls were flawed as well.

[leftynyc]

27. Perhaps it is flawed

I don't see any of the aggregates using it. Doesn't matter, Hillary is ahead in all of them.

[phazed0]

10. Margin of error, 5% - Hillary possibly barely squeaking by... Sanders ties Hillary

Margin of error ~5% on page 3.

Bernie Sanders 45pt to Hillary 45pt - tied on page 13

Bernie Sanders gets 60% of the Independents while Hillary only gets 18% - page 13

[Kingofalldems]

11. Uh oh, the Trump crowd not liking this one.

I see them.

Ouch!

[Qutzupalotl]

13. WTF? "The Trump crowd"?

Anyone who didn't support Hillary in the primary is a Trump supporter? How childish and two-dimensional.

[Kingofalldems]

25. You just made that up.

Did not post any such thing.

[runaway hero]

35. You would be a great politician

Yes you did.

[Kingofalldems]

40. Where? What post?

Specify please, cause it ain't there.

And since I know nothing about you I certainly wasn't referring to you.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

31. But they just love polls!

[Johnny2X2X]

15. 8 now

Should be 15 after Sanders and Warren endorse her. If Warren is the VP pick, she will win the popular vote by at least 15 points.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

16. Sample Size Party ID

Sample size party ID
781 DEMOCRATS
593 REPUBLICANS

This poll is great news as long as we GOTV!!!
Our turnout has to be bigger than the Repukes to win. I believe we can make it happen.

[Johnny2X2X]

17. Um

That's not far off from the general public, there are more self identified Dems than Reps in this country.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

19. I'm referring to turnout.

[tonyt53]

28. I like the poll results, but they mean nothing until Labor Day.

[former9thward]

29. That poll does not include the Libertarian , Anderson.

Polling with Anderson has Clinton with a 1 point lead 39% to Trump 38%.

[joshcryer]

36. Stein will mitigate about half of Anderson's vote.

But neither candidate will impact the race significantly.

[former9thward]

37. Maybe but Stein will not be on the ballot in 50 states.

Anderson will. Every single poll has shown that Clinton and Trump are the two most disliked candidates ever. The Libertarians may do a lot better than they usually do.

[joshcryer]

38. Yeah, they might hit 5%.

Which would be good for the country even if I think they are duplicitous ideologically. They won't change the Dems trajectory, the Dems are already on a very rapid progressive track (laugh if you want). But it should force the Republican's to come around on social issues.

[ailsagirl]

30. WTF?? This doesn't seem accurate

Is it really saying that drumpf is only 8 measly points behind Clinton? That a whopping 34% of the electorate
backs that moron?? That over ONE-THIRD of likely voters are behind HIM??

[joshcryer]

33. Trumps ceiling is about 33%.

[ailsagirl]

39. That seems frighteningly high

[joshcryer]

32. It's going to jump 10 more.

[Cryptoad]

34. agreed

this poll was conducted before they spanked Trump and took his sippy cup away from him over the judge!
