You can deny this poll all you want but it is entirely consistent with a large number of other polls showing Clinton beats Cruz and Trump. Sanders routinely beats Cruz and Trump.

It's a useless poll of adults. See my Post #9.

Put Your Donation Where Your Mouth Is: Who do you think will win the Republican Nomination?

This is simple. If some are so sure who has the momentum and will get the Republican convention, put your money (donation to FR) where your mouth is.

Personally, I would set this bet at $100 as fair game, but I think some are also suffering under the Obama “recovery” so I think a $40 bet in more fair.

Here would be the bet. Pick who you think will get the Republican nomination below by responding BET (name) in upper case. If your choice does NOT get the nomination then you donate $40 dollars to FreeRepublic.com support donation.

What do you say? This isn’t really gambling, just sort of a fun way to donate to Free Republic if you are wrong.

WHO WILL WIN THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION? CHOOSE ONE NAME, NO SECOND CHANCES LATER. IF YOU ARE WRONG, YOU DONATE $40 DOLLARS TO FREE REPUBLIC:
Choices
BET TRUMP
BET CRUZ
BET KASICH
BET OTHER

The final Gallup poll before the 2012 Presidential election had Romney up 49& to Obama’s 48%. Final actual results: Obama 61.7% vs Romney 38.3%.

Point is that pre-election polling is somewhat of a crap-shoot. For this particular poll of 1000 adults, the fact that Kasich beats Hillary tells you either that: 1. The ‘Republican’ part of the polling sample is not representative of Republicans in general (as Kasich is not doing well in the Republican primaries), or that 2. A significant number of Democrat voters want someone other than Hillary, and so would vote for the most moderate (left leaning) Republican candidate over her.

At any rate, it is early, and if polling were straightforward and sufficiently predictive, then all of the polling companies would be about the same and would all be fairly accurate. Obviously, neither is true.

And you’re point is? Vote for Kasich who can’t win any state other than his own and gets beat by Rubio (who’s not running) and “other” in Arizona?

[LongWayHome]

I agree. People are in for a shock this November. I think either Cruz or Trump will run closer with Clinton than this, and other polls state, but you can’t import over 40 million third world immigrants since 1965 who vote 80% democrat and think we are not at a disadvantage.

We should reject all polls from Hillary’s media Super PACS.

I agree Clinton is ahead, but the margins in this poll are absurd.

“You can deny this poll all you want but it is entirely consistent with a large number of other polls showing Clinton beats Cruz and Trump. Sanders routinely beats Cruz and Trump.”

Exactly. This shows you the problem the Republican party has. The Democratic Party is now the majority party in this country. Most people are just Democrats now. Hillary and all her issues don’t matter. She’s a Democrat and that is all that matters to most people and they like her for it and will vote for her.
