Showing Original Post only (View all)Jaws Drop As Poll Reveals Donald Trump Is Losing To Hillary Clinton In The South [View all]
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/08/05/jaws-drop-poll-reveals-donald-trump-losing-hillary-clinton-south.htmlDonald Trump is going where no Republican has gone for 20 years. He is losing the South to Hillary Clinton....
The numbers showing Hillary Clinton doing well in the South are surprising until one considers the fact that Clinton is leading in Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida. If she wins these states on Election Day, the former Sec. of State will split the South and break the decades old GOP stranglehold on the region.
The polls suggest that what is happening is more than post-convention bounce for Clinton. The broader electorate is beginning to tune in, just when Trump has self-destructed.
Democrats shouldnt be planning any victory parties. In fact, these numbers should motivate Democrats to work twice as hard. The prize is out there for the taking, and in the worst case scenario, Donald Trump could lose the South.

Actually, the only real surprise there is GA. VA has been trending Blue of late, FL is a classic swing state, and NC has become more purplish in recent years.
