Support for Trump plunges, Clinton in double-digit lead, new poll indicates
National Post ^ | June 26, 2016 | Scott Clement and Philip Rucker, Washington Post

Posted on 06/26/2016 7:50:08 PM PDT by rickmichaels

Support for Donald Trump has plunged as he has alienated fellow Republicans and large majorities of voters overall in the course of a month of self-inflicted controversies, propelling Democrat Hillary Clinton to a double-digit lead nationally in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The survey finds sweeping unease with the presumptive Republican nominee’s candidacy – from his incendiary rhetoric and values to his handling of both terrorism and his own business – foreshadowing that the November election could be a referendum on Trump more than anything else.

Roughly two in three Americans say they think Trump is unqualified to lead the nation; are anxious about the idea of him as president; believe his comments about women, minorities and Muslims show an unfair bias; and see his attacks on a federal judge because of his Mexican-American heritage as racist.

A slimmer majority say they disapprove of the way Clinton has handled questions about her use of a personal email server while she was secretary of state, and half of Americans are anxious about the prospect of a Clinton presidency, underscoring the historic unpopularity of the two major-party candidates.

Pure, unadulterated BULLSHIT.

The Washington Post has dropped from it’s lofty image as a lying, bullshitting propaganda ministry to something much worse.

National Post didn’t see the internals where Dems were oversampled by 13. Annoying detail, you know...

When did they get rid of the electoral college? Do we now have national elections based on popular votes? If not why all these national polls? States like CA, NY, MD, MN, CT etc are so heavily democrat, the national polls get skewed.

None of these polls ever turn out to be right anymore because they pure political propaganda by the left that are about swaying the vote.

If this propaganda encourages you... Do you think this means GOP will replace Trump (with Lyn’ Ted or some other loser?). Do you think Clinton is comfortable with the ‘lead’? Does Trump look, sound, or act concerned? NO.

Apparently, there are Freepers willing to help spread the Hillary lies via threads. To one and all, we’re not buying the Liberal BS polls. I refuse to be demoralized when everyone I talk to is voting Trump!

We are just too far out from the election for polls like this to make sense. Anything can happen between now and say, late October. ANYTHING.

I believe none of it, the left is looking at the end of the line, and do not know what to do...
We the great unwashed have awoken, and it will not be pretty...

I think its important we read what is being published out there. People are reading this whether it appears at FR or not.

I’d rather know what the media is up to.
