Hillary Clinton Would Now Beat Donald Trump by a Landslide, Poll Says
Newsweek ^ | Emily Zogbi

Posted on 09/22/2018 8:35:24 PM PDT by simpson96

A survey shows that if the 2016 presidential election were held today Hillary Clinton would win the popular vote. The American Barometer was conducted by Hill.TV and the polling company HarrisX.

Based on the responses, the poll found that 36 percent of voters would vote for Trump again while 44 percent would vote for Clinton.

4 percent said they would vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2 percent said they would vote for Jill Stein of the Green Party. Other options allowed respondents to choose not to vote in this hypothetical situation, to decline to vote, or choose someone else.

When these options were taken away and people were asked to choose between Trump or Clinton, the number of people who would vote for Trump increased to 40 percent while Clinton surpassed him with 50 percent. The survey was conducted online between September 14 and September 15 among 1,000 registered voters. The results were weighted for age within gender, region, race and ethnicity, income and education. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

During the 2016 election, Clinton had won the popular vote with 48.2 percent. Trump still managed to win the Electoral College and land the presidency.

"In 2016, I think a bunch of Americans thought to themselves “let’s just blow things up and see what happens,'” John Podesta, Clinton campaign chief, said to Hill.TV regarding the poll. "Now that they have actually seen what happens, they wish they could get back to the strong, steady leadership that Hillary has always provided."

A different survey conducted by Hill.TV showed that 46 percent of people approved of Trump while his disapproval rating is higher at 54 percent.

Stop calling them that.

There's nothing democratic about the Democrat party.

What is her platform? Free abortions, free stuff, for more contributions to her Foundation. All she will do is turn things backwards again. She would have never done what Trump has done, like Evita, her goal is screw the middle class. She would sit in the WH busy on the phone with her personal telethons soliciting contributions for her influence. As Charlton Heston would said “Damn you to hell.”

Only two million? There were many votes from legal immigrant non citizens, too. In confidential surveys many have admitted voting. Also many, perhaps a million or more voted quasi legally in California and in Cook County where they are all automatically registered when they get ID of some sort and it is legal to vote in state and local elections. They are then told (O’Keefe has this on video) that they get the same ballots as everyone else and they are not supposed to vote the federal candidates but if they do so who’s to know?

She couldn’t win the Dem primary for the nomination in 2008.

She couldn’t win the Dem primary for nomination in 2016 without cheating Sanders by stacking the special delegates.

But she can now beat Trump — in spite of a soaring stock market, employment figures we haven’t seen in decades, GDP outpacing Obama’s new normal by leaps and bounds.

Yeah, she’s the one flyover country is going to go with in 2020?

Merely proving that, as we learned in November of 2016, polls aren’t worth the matches used to burn them to ash.
After the “according to polling, Clinton has a 98% chance of winning” 2016 election, anyone who gives any credence to election polling is an imbecile with a ring through their nose.

P.E.R.I.O.D.
**************
That is so well written. Perfect.

To go down in the history books as the first female president [the glass-ceilinged Javits Center], instead of just being a footnote in the history books as the first female nominee of the Democratic Party.

She certainly has not intent in becoming president to help the little people -- half of them being deplorables anyway.

Yes, the American people cannot stand the fact that unemployment, especially for black Americans is at a historic low, the stock market is at a historic high, they just wish that a woman who cannot climb or descend a set of stairs could be our President. Uh Huh.

I believe that news week only sampled Antifa members. This is as fake as it gets.
