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.

Amazing the way they keep spinning things to try to give Hillary false boosts.

I guess it will keep things interesting.

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

This article is from the canadian National Post.

Yes, and it quotes a poll from the Washington Post.

Consider the sources.

Its easy to slant these polls. You use a higher percentage of Democrats in the poll than are represented in the actual voting population.

As has been demonstrated in Britain with the Brexit vote, the establishment of the New World Order will do anything to stay in power, from trying to petition a new vote, to seeking “associate” status in the politically discredited EU.

They will do the same thing here to try and discredit Trump and demoralize his supporters.

As for those idiot “purist” conservatives like that moron George Will, sabotaging the campaign of a guy pledged to appointment of conservative SCOTUS judges when you KNOW the kind of vermin Hillary will appoint, demonstrates the superficiality of their collective intellects, or insincerity of their politics, or both.

Don’t forget there are a lot of us who hang up on posters or lie to them. LOL

When the National GOP calls wanting money, I tell them I only give to my candidate direct. I don’t want my few $$ propping up aging RINOS who have been in congress to many years like McConnell, McNasty, Gramensty etc.

“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”

Polls that are MADE-AS-INSTRUCTED”

aND YOU MIGHT SAY “ wHY....HOW CAN THIS BE ? These are “reputable pollsters” Any SJB says “ Since WHEN? “

Rupert Murdock earlier this year said “ The man who writes the checks, makes....sets the agenda “

(Maybe the only time the globalist/elitist SOB ever told us the truth

LOL!

The NWO will stoop to any level to keep the status quo which empowers the EU, UN, Council on Foreign Relations, G groups, Chamber of Commerce, Bilderbergers, etc. This new ruling elite is like the aristocracy of western Europe in the Middle Ages - they have more in common with one another than with the people they purport to rule. They should meet the same demise.
