Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has surged to a 15-point lead over reeling, gaffe-plagued Republican Donald Trump, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.
Clinton made strong gains with two constituencies crucial to a Republican victory – whites and men – while scoring important gains among fellow Democrats, the poll found.
Clinton not only went up, but Trump also went down. Clinton now has a 48-33 percent lead, a huge turnaround from her narrow 42-39 advantage last month.
The findings are particularly significant because the poll was taken after both political conventions ended and as Trump engaged in a war of words with the parents of Army Capt. Humayun Khan.
“This is coming off the Democratic convention, where a bounce is expected,” said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the nationwide survey.

How can that be? HOW? If it’s this bad, then we’ve lost our Country already.
The uniparty reigns.. corruption.. I will vote Democrat forever after Trump and pray the Paul Ryans and GOP die
The true traitors are the globalist republicans
Don’t look at polls, look at rally attendance.
You got that right. The Trump rallies are getting the largest support.
Why only 15 point lead why not give her 150 point lead
BWAHAHAHAHA
Kill yourself now. Avoid the rush.
Gosh I guess we are done for now....I am betting Nate Silver changes his mind again...I also bet the sun will come up tomorrow and i bet on election day all these idiots will be

If this is accurate, then the population of America is either more corrupt or more ill-informed than I had thought. Very disturbing.
Its republican support thats tanked. These assholes like Bill Kristol and Jeb are having an impact.May the GOP die forever
anyone that would support Hillary Clinton becoming President of the United States deserves to lose their rights to vote . For life .
Demographics are different from the 1980s.
A presidential electorate is more liberal.
Just deal with it.
Watch the sizes of the crowds that come to see Trump speak, and look at the illegal actions of the fire marshals around Columbus Ohio and other venues who purposely limited the crowd size to 1000 in arenas that had 6000-7000 person capacity.
Polls are nothing more than voter suppression tools used by the establishment.
The country is full of dumbasses who watch the view and believe the spin and lies from the media.
Hillary is a criminal and corrupt and has a rapist husband. Trump isnt hitting her hard enough
Just what i wanted to read at dinner time.
I think i’ll be sick shortly.
Another Rep disaster is looming.
“Its republican support thats tanked”
That seems to be the case with all the latest polls..he is bleeding Republicans.
Trump needs to stop wasting time getting into feuds with people like Khirz Kahan and that Hispanic judge presiding over the Trump University case. While he’s spending time on them, Hillary’s getting a free ride. he needs to go after Hillary and Obama, period. The big story this week should be the $400 million that Obama paid to Iran in exchange for the hostages, but most people aren’t even aware of it. This is an issue that’s tailor made for Trump, one he should be hammering the Democrats with right now. Instead, he’s getting bogged down arguing with people who are small potatoes. He’s not running against Khirz Khan, he’s running against Hillary Clinton. That’s where his focus needs to be.
Crowds have nothing to do with voter turnout. I wish it did. It is not an indicator and if that’s what he is going on he’s in trouble. He needs to focus he needs to start listening to people who know more than he does. After all we know about Hillary Clinton, she still draws these numbers, we are done as a Country. We have given up and given in to ignorance and complacency.
Well something is off then. Really off.
If she can’t get people to her rallies, and I’m seeing no real outward support in terms Hillary signs, and I live in the most leftist part of my city, then just what the hell is going on?
Are all of these damn polling outlets fudging numbers? Are people that damn enamored by a person most people see as a crook?
