(787 posts)These are the numbers on the GE election date if I am not wrong but it shows the importance of net favorable as a predictor of who will win.
It is this more than anything that I point to as our primaries resulting in a bad candidate and Hillary's supporters not listening to the points that support that conclusion including with emphasis her net favorables. Again we are very lucky (unless of course he wins) that the Republicans are so out of control that they also selected a candidate with high net unfavorables.
It is this recognition that would be good to push at the Hillary supporters so we do not make the mistake again in future contests. If they actually accept that they supported a candidate which history supported was a losing candidate maybe they will not point to the voters if she loses.
