Hillary is at 42% and that’s being generous.
She’ll get around 40% in November because remember - Democratic strength is nearly always overestimated.
The fact she’s not breaking 42% since May should be telling.
But the Hillary campaign will believe what the MSM is feeding her and coast like Romney, figuring its in the bag.
Romney thought that as well in 2012 and to his shock, he lost on Election Day.
I predicted yesterday that this would go down, and that eventually this will flatten pretty permanently at about a 3.5% Trump lead. We’ll see.
Why did Romney think he could coast? Was that just hubris? That’s inconceivable to me. He never had anything like a real lead, let alone a comfortable one. At best, he had a few outlying polls that showed him with a national lead.

One HUGE difference: The Clintons and the DEMs want to win at all costs. Romney didn't care enough, nor did the people backing him. I think you are underplaying the large number of the voting populace that want their freebies, want to be in on history voting for a women (as evil as she is), and having a genuine concern about the mental and political stability of Trump.
Many here say no one is listening until after Labor Day, but the DEMs, the MSM, and even some GOP members are dumping crap after crap at the doorstep of Trump. Rather than talk about the issues, he and what few surrogates he has (which is disappointing) are spending a lot of valuable time having to defend these positions. By Labor Day, the MSM and DEMs hope to have Trump in such a huge, deep hole that Hillary will waltz to the White House.
