Makes me nervous that the Dems will try to replace Hillary with another candidate.

This is interesting:

Trump now gets 76% of the Republican vote, while Clinton has 72% Democratic support. Thirteen percent (13%) of Democrats prefer Trump, while nine percent (9%) of GOP voters favor Clinton. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Trump leads 41% to 28%, but 31% of these voters either like another candidate or are undecided.

Trumps increased lead is the result of Clinton’s numbers dropping rather than Trumps increasing.

I believe the last ras poll had it 42 -40 for Trump. His entire 3 point gain is due to Clinton losing the 3 from her support.

You know what....I would rather the democRATS replace Killery.

Just on principle.

That this woman...the beyond corrupt, nominal wife, of an impeached former president and all around degenerate, is even a serious contender for the White house, is an unbelievable low in the ethical standards for our once great nation.

“Makes me nervous..”

LOL.. would you prefer to be losing?

Let them replace her with Biden.

We’ll see how that works out.

I believe that Rasmussen had Romney winning four years ago. Still, there seems to be more enthusiasm for Trump that for Clinton.

I think that’s been the plan all along.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on May 17-18, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points

I’ve said this for a long long long time.. Hillary has NO chance in the general.. its not going to be close... the absolute BEST case scenario for her is about 15 states and 180 EC votes..... More realistic is she probably won’t get 10 states and around 125ish EC votes.

The worst case scenario for Trump is a solid win with about 35 states and 350 EC votes.... That’s the absolute worst case for him. More realistically he’ll be over 40 states and over 400 EC votes.

The sooner this becomes obvious, the sooner Trump can start working on helping the down ticket races, so we can expand majorities in the house and senate, and other down ticket races.

The Dems are heading to a shellacing, up and down the ticket.

Now understand there will be a few ups and downs between now and NOV... just like there were bumps in the primary race, and every little bump the press will try to play as the end of the world, but it won’t be.

Poll taken before Trump announced his SCotus list. That list should move the Trump vote up 2%.

Trump is also beating Hillary in the new Fox poll.

This is just the beginning.

Hillary is a terrible candidate.

She will lose by double digits.

Obama will realize that Shillery can not beat Trump so he will allow Justice Dept to prosecute her so he can get Biden in place to continue the Obama destroy America policy. Problem is, Biden will lose to Trump as well; but let’s keep that quiet.

You heard it here first.

I explained the whole "likely voters", "registered voters", "voting age adults", and "voting age adults with online sampling" thing to my son-in-law last night. That this is a poll of likely voters says a lot to me.

Seems to be a big "undecided" component. It's hard for me to imagine being undecided between Hillary and Trump. They're pretty polarizing on either side. Maybe the "undecided" are going to write in Cruz or Sanders.

I think replacing Hillary was always the plan. I have always thought it would be Kerry... If the plan was not to replace Hillary then that is worse because I do not think Obama is planning for Hillary to be president. If Obama wants Hillary to be the nominee and not president then??? See what Im saying. Look, the Obamas do ot like or Trust the Clintons at all. AT ALL. They would take anyone but Hillary. This is why this is so interesting to me that Eric Holder through Obama is out there endorsing Hillary everywhere. I believe the reason why Hillary getting the black vote over Sanders is from endorsements from blacks close to Obama.
