WASHINGTON 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.

When the publication really, really, REALLY wants you to believe something, they’ll use two authors. These people are so transparent and predictable.

Obama let the strategic cat out of the bag yesterday when he said (talking about Trump) that Trump shouldn’t worry about election fraud. If he’s 10 or 15% ahead in the polls in November, and he loses, then he should worry .... but right now that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Hillary is NOT leading in the polls. Hillary cannot and will not win in November. They’re using the polls now ... right through November ... to set the stage for Hillary’s theft of the election without any questions.

Exactly! They beat the “contested convention” nonsense to death right up until the last possible second, so why would we expect them to treat the current nonsense situation (Hillary ahead of Trump) any differently. It’s all BS!!

Boy you swallow the media hype hook-line-and sinker, don’t you?

I am not an ignorant noob my friend, I know the score. I dont think its as bad as they say, but I dont have my head stuck in the sand either. I am staying positive, I think Trump can come back from this.

That is probably how they framed the question too.

I imagine it went something like this:

Would you vote for the grandmotherly former secretary of state with impeccible credentials HILLERY! or for that lying, reeling gaffe-prone son of a bitch Trump?

He’s struggling has been entirely orchestrated by the media and the polls are part of the liberal media. The Khan story was a nothing story they turned turned into something it was not. He has now been exposed as a paid Clinton surrogate. Don’t wait up for the media to report that story. Hillary Clinton had a terrible convention and now we are supposed to believe that she is far and away the person everyone wants for president. I no more believe it than the man in the moon. Nothing negative sticks to the bitch because the media refuses to report anything negative. Trump can say it’s dark outside at 4 AM and the media will say he lied because the sun is starting to come up. Yesterday the media started attacking his wife, saying she was probably illegal when they met, which is an absolute lie, but get ready to hear that for the next week. The other day they attacked Eric Trump. These bastards are in full attack mode to knock him out of the race before the race even gets started. A WSJ (liberal) poll came out this morning showing the bitch from hell has overtaken Trump in support from men! Hell would freeze over before more men wanted Hillary Clinton as president than Trump. The McClatchy poll Trump says she has 93% of the black vote compared to 2% for Trump. Another BS stat if there ever was one. I’m 67 years old and never in my life of following politics have I seen anything so blatantly obvious as what the media is attempting to do to a presidential candidate.....only because their candidate’s record is horrible. It started the minute his convention was over and they knew he could win and it’s not let up. In the end the people will decide the race, not cooked polls from the democrat media.

This is the problem — many around here said the same thing about the polls in 2012. Worse, the polls are very likely being used to cover the dems stealing the election outright.

I totally agree, He's got to be the most attacked major candidate in history. Trump is running against the Democrats, the MSM (same thing?), and the GOP-e. Its amazing that he is doing as well as he is.

Because they know they have enough Dem controlled States to keep his replacement off the ballots and ensure Hillary goes in uncontested.

But, I will feel like I have a vagina, just like voting for Obama made me feel black. /sarcasm

Unfortunately, many mind number voters probably feel that way. They should note be allowed to vote.

Yeah, that's why Obama felt the need to campaign with Hillary in NC. Because she had the black vote all locked up.

Ask yourself WHY Trump was able to bring the GOP and Dems together like this?

They are all being bribed by the same people.
