Trump needs to choose a small number of issues and dominate on them.

Hillary will win with the Social Justice Warriors, communists, and parasites, but that’s no surprise. We have to write off those traitors and focus on winning votes from real Americans.

Trump already dominates on national security. He needs to speak clearly about jobs, the economy, and other strengths of his, and make sure that (1) those are major issues, and (2) he wins by a huge margin on those issues.

Trump needs to link jobs for Americans to deporting illegals - his strength.

Trump needs to link better public schools for those here legally to reducing the burden of educating large numbers of illegals - again, his strength.

Trump needs to figure out the areas in which deporting illegals and stopping the flood of new illegals will help ordinary Americans and articulate those points simply and clearly.

Trump needs to figure out the areas of the economy on which he is convincingly better than Hillary and make those front and center. He needs to point out repeatedly how bad Obamacare has been for full-time employment and how worthless it is to have Obamacare “coverage” without access to medical care. He needs to point out that government has no business telling Americans what coverage they must buy, especially when the cost is so high in premiums and deductibles.

Trump has demonstrated an ability to control the narrative and the news cycle. He needs to start using that ability to pick the issues that will be discussed every day. That needs to start tomorrow, at the latest.

Meaningless without crossroads: “adults”? “Registered voters”? D/R split?

Many polls such as ABC are weighting these by asking for “youngest adult in the house”-—a group that, except for 08, does not vote.

I suspect Trump is up 2-3 among “likely” voters.

Bellicose .

Just amazing they can't even hide their hatred of Trump!

I think the poll is likely accurate as a data point for those among registered voters nationally, a two point edge to Clinton, within the margin of error. Pray without ceasing that God will grant us mercy, and humility and grace to Donald Trump that he may serve as our next President and lead with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.
