Polls show tight Clinton-Trump race in 2016 battlegrounds

Battleground state polls show Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton locked in a tight race for the White House with just more than four months to go before Election Day.

Clinton has so far failed to pull away in the 10 states likely to determine the outcome of the 2016 election, even as Trump has suffered through what some political observers describe as the worst stretch they’ve seen a major presidential candidate endure.

Trump in the last few weeks has fired his campaign manager, seen Republicans flee from his campaign and released embarrassingly low fundraising figures.

Yet he is running competitively with Clinton in the states that will decide the winner of the White House after what may be looked back on as the low point of his campaign.

“If we’ve learned anything this cycle, it’s that this is the Donald Trump election and none of the normal rules apply,” Monmouth University pollster Patrick Murray told The Hill.

President Obama coasted to reelection in 2012 by defeating GOP nominee Mitt Romney in nine out of 10 battleground states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

He lost North Carolina, which he had won four years earlier.

Heading into the 2016 conventions next month, polls in those 10 states show close races across the board.

The polling suggests Clinton has an edge because she has leads in six of the 10 states, while Trump is only consistently leading in North Carolina.

Clinton’s lead, however, is just a percentage point or two in most of the states.

Clinton’s largest lead is in Wisconsin, a state Democrats haven’t lost in a presidential election since 1984. According to a CBS News-YouGov poll released Sunday, she has a 5-point lead in the Badger State.

Jews, on the other hand, vote 70%+ for the dems, although Obama did lose 10% of the Jewish vote between ‘08 and ‘12, so hopefully more of them are waking up.

So, the answer is yes.

Catholics about 50/50, other assorted Protestants 45/55.

And so half the "catholics" and alleged "christians" vote for the faggot-loving baby-killers.

Terrific.

>>> Boom. This will be a turn out election. Who is going to make any effort to turn out for Hillary unless they’re bribed or dead?

Come to Massachusetts & you’ll find them.

I’m sitting here with one person who is planning on moving to Canada, should Trump win.

Another is going to the RNC convention & just said Trump was the best choice the RNC could have made for Hillary.

Another told me that Trump lies 95% of the time.

It’s safe to assume they’ll all vote for the Hag.

Massachusetts will go all out for Hillary.

The place is filled with socialists, marxists, communists and democrats and they all think they know more than everybody else. Some places worse than others, e.g., cambridge, Brookline, Newton, on and on.
