Clinton Has 12-Point Edge Over Trump in Bloomberg National Poll

[Dem2]

June 14, 2016 — 5:00 PM EDT (note the freshness marking)

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.

3. God, I would hope so.

Trump should trail anyone by at least 20, given the stupid things he does.

5. But our primary isn't quite over and their primary is

I imagine some people aren't paying that much attention yet.

6. Problem is that the stupid things Trump says & does appeal to Republicans.

Because most Republicans are just as dumb as he is.

14. Will be higher soon. He's imploding and looking like a cartoon

character.

[MoonRiver]

19. That's because he is a cartoon character.

15. WOW!

[auntpurl]

17. It's still early for these polls

Important to remember that these polls are still not representative, and won't be for another few months. And also important to remember that complacency will give us Trump.

BUT! THIS IS GREAT NEWS!

[JoePhilly]

18. National Polls only matter if Trump is leading in them.

20. Message for JPR lurkers

Ruined your day?

[geek tragedy]

22. they're too busy debating whether Elizabeth Warren is evil and whether

they should vote for Jill Stein or Donald Trump.

[qdouble]

23. and stuffing online polls to favor Bernie in imaginary GE races

[Godhumor]
