Clinton Has 12-Point Edge Over Trump in Bloomberg National Poll
Source: Bloomberg
Democrat Hillary Clinton has opened up a double-digit lead nationally over Republican Donald Trump, whose negatives remain unusually high for a presidential candidate amid early indications that the Orlando terrorist attack has had little direct impact on the 2016 race.
A new Bloomberg Politics national poll shows Clinton leading Trump 49 percent to 37 percent among likely voters in November's election, with 55 percent of those polled saying they could never vote for the real-estate developer and TV personality.
Read the questions and methodology here.
Most national polls in late May and early June showed a closer race, but they were taken before criticism intensified of Trump's charge that a U.S. judge overseeing fraud cases against Trump University is biased because of the judges Mexican heritage. Fifty-five percent of likely voters in the new poll said they were very bothered by those comments.

(2,338 posts)Once Dems unite and Obama, Biden, Warren, Sanders and others start giving speeches as powerful as our President did today, Trump will be toast. I look forward to watching the GOP burst into flames.

(17,469 posts)In real life 38% of the populace supports an unhinged bigot who looks like a first draft of Bozo the Clown.
That says something about either the populace, the candidate or both.

(466 posts)However I'm hopeful that it will shift after what happened this week. Trump is just a strongman with no fucking ideas. Clinton tore into him today pointing out his incompetent he really is. That's what's so shocking about this. People think Trump is better at terrorism and still Clinton has a 12 point lead. It seems like Clinton's lead can only continue to rise.

The buffoons of this country have had their heads shrunk so indelibly even someone as abhorrent as Trump can't shake them out of their programming.
