Donald Trump has now grown his lead over Hillary Clinton in Rasmussen Reports’ first weekly White House Watch survey.
Trump earns 42% support to Clinton’s 37% when Likely U.S. Voters are asked whom they would vote for if the presidential election were held today.

Can’t be true.
We have been told for months by the NeverTrumpers on this board, tv, radio and in print that Clintoon will kick Trump’s butt.
BOL! Wait until Trump really goes after the rapist Clintoon and that rapist’s lying supporter, who is running for president.
I think Trump will choose a moderate liberal for a running mate, to cement in those Reagan dems that fear all things conservative.
Trump is going to win an a landslide even with out Branch Cruzadian support.
You really think all those Texan Cruz voters are going to sit on their hands and allow a President Witch?
If you do, you think very, very little of Cruz-supporting Texans and I feel sorry for you.
Yes, Romney may have been leading but then came Hurricane Sandy and Obama looked like he was in charge and leading and of course Romney’s unwillingness to fight back and running what Pat Caddell has called one of the worst run campaigns in American Political History.
Agree.
This time 4 years ago Romney was busy saying nothing while the Obama campaign was busy defining him as a 1%er out of touch with the middle class.
Romney DID run the worst campaign in the history of our Republic.
Obama can’t throw Hillary under the bus, this is fantasy. Democratic Party is bigger than Obama.
Realistically the party has no one else they can run. That’s the only reason Hillary is there at all—if they could’ve supplanted her with a younger, fresher face, they wouldn’t have hesitated to do so.
Biden parachuting in at the last minute is silly, and will only make them look weaker. It’s too late at this point. They’ve made their bed with Hillary and they’re going to lay in it.
I’m sure some party officials already see the writing on the wall and have strategically written 2016 off as a loss.
I love that phrase, by the way: Branch Cruzadians.
Kudos to you for coining it!
“I don’t think they thought Sanders would do this well. He is pulling way too many delegates then they planned. They probably also thought Sanders would have dropped out earlier.”
Sanders had a couple of big crowds wanting more socialism in the N. Californiacator area this week.
“Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!”
Cruz adds nothing to the ticket.
Texas will vote for Trump with or without Cruz.
Cruz stunk in the South.
In the most important swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, Cruz was invisible in the rear view mirror.
He may be a reliably consistent conservative but he does nothing to help the ticket.
Good observations on your part! Obama and his team made it a special point to tie Romney with the “evil” Bain Capital.
Romney said almost nothing in reply. His campaign should have been aware of the attacks tying him to Bain. The Democrats did it once before-when he ran for the senate against Ted.
They were supposed to start running June 8 but have been started this week as Hillary has been tanking.
Priorities USA is a Hillary PAC but it could be just as well be a Romney PAC or GOPe PAC.
“Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!”
No Cruz. I know he sounds good to some people when he talks about Constitutional conservatism and some such. But he’s just another globalist deceiver.
“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.
You heard it here first.”
I came to that conclusion months ago, and have spelled it out here several times.
Frankly, I think the Obama camp (and most Dem party insiders) understood from the outset, that the White House would go back to the Republicans this year. It’s why they didn’t waste any of their better talent in this election.
Better to engineer the primary to give it to Hillary, knowing all along that she would lose to a ham sandwich in the general election. Hillary gets to run to stay out of prison, while also convincing her billionaire ‘donors’ that she’s seriously pursuing the office (she’s not).
Meanwhile, the Dem party can finally rid themselves of the Clintons in a clean and cost free manner.
And what of Hillary’s email scandal? I think Obama’s been planning all along to leave her to the wolves. If Comey has built the airtight body of evidence I think he has, the DOJ won’t have any recourse, and will have to indict. That, of course, also makes it easier to air drop a replacement nominee into the race. The only question is, who’s going to play the part of sacrificial lamb.
They coronated her. Let them live with their decision.
Such a thing doesn’t help them.
Hillary has the most delegates, crookedly obtained or otherwise, after being promised the nomination for stepping aside in 08...
And they just tell her to shove off?
Not likely.
