Hillary Clinton is 16 points ahead of Donald Trump in Virginia, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

Clinton has 48 percent support to Trump's 32 percent among likely voters in the state, the Roanoke College survey found.

Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson has 8 percent, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein got 3 percent. In a head-to-head matchup, Clinton's lead over Trump grows to 19 points.

The poll also showed improved favorability ratings for Clinton in Virginia. Thirty-nine percent said they saw the Democratic nominee favorably, while 45 percent saw her unfavorably.

Too bad Virginia has all that sewage spillover from DC.

Florida is of course must win. With Virginia and Colorado looking bad as of now, the path to victory will continue to hinge on the Rustbelt.

Not believing that reverse Bradley effect. Not in one’s own home. Sitting on one’s own couch, one isn’t going to lie about whom they plan to vote for.

I’ve said for over a year that Hillary is strongly favored to win in 2016 and 2020. She will probably beat any of the GOP primary candidates.

Trump shakes things up enough to change the questions and maybe pull out a win. Still, it’s a small chance.

The GOP is not particularly competitive when it comes to winning presidential elections for the next half century, at least.

same here.
I could ask everyone I know here in FL and Trump wins by over 70%. Now the polls said Trump was to lose big in SC and other states and look at what happened.

Polls and media are nothing but mouthpieces for the left today in order to fool the great unwashed , ignorant fools who only come out to vote once every 4 years and know nothing.

Ok, I played with your states. IF we can get New Hampshire, then we only need one of either Ohio or Pennsylvania to squeak by Hillary. Oh, and EVERY BATTLEGROUND STATE.)

(Isn’t this so sad? To beat a sick, deranged, murderous narcissist sociopath??)

I kind of wish JimRob would post about just how small our chances are electoral college wise and get FReepers to stop acting like the grasshopper here and more like the ant.

I was so disgusted with FR after Obama won again. This place lulled me into utter Romney has it in the bag complacency. Are we just a feel good echo chamber or can we DO SOMETHING to try and win here?

How do you know? Did you also know Romney would win VA?

With that map and assuming Trump wins all the toss-ups, it’s going to come down to New Hapshire.

New Hampshire can be flipped.

Considering the poll had 90% dems, 1% hubbies, 14% indies, not too bad! (My math makes as much sense as the poll, save dem part)

From the published poll: "Quotas were used to ensure that different regions of the Commonwealth were proportionately represented. The data were statistically weighted for gender, race, age, and political party. Weighting was done to match the demographic groups' representation in the 2012 Virginia exit poll. The margin of error was not adjusted for design effects due to weighting."

This poll is pure crap.

But don't believe ANY poll.

I wish instead of sitting back as if Trump had already won, FReepers could get focused. If this is true, that NH could be flipped, and we could get that one Maine elector, then we could eke out a win. Then we could all focus on NH and maybe have some effect. Lots of us live in states that will not flip, like CA, so we can focus on NH.

What I was thinking, too.

If not for the dead and the felons, ILL would be sunk.

Did you click on my link?

Trump consistently polls much higher on online polls than on live telephone polls.

You can believe whatever you want.

But if anyone asks me, "I support Johnson" because I don't want my car to get keyed, and I'll promise you that I'm not going to throw my vote away on Johnson in November.

Trump appointed Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway last Wednesday, gave the best speech of his life on Thursday and ran his first TV ad on Friday.

You should give the Trump campaign a full week, at least, before pronouncing it dead and shoveling dirt on it.

Pretty hard to win by 16% if an astounding 45% say they disapprove of you?? Not sure if that’s ever been done?

They polled Arlington, VA, where the employees of the State Department reside.

If all of this had wringing is highly counterproductive and not predictive. A fight is a fight, and is never over until its over. We have a popular vote that is within 1%, with Trump up in several polls, so it all remains up in the air.
