This may come as a news flash for you, so I suggest you have a seat, so you don’t wind up with a case of the vapors:
National polls do not matter. We are not a direct democracy. We have a republic. This means we don’t have one, single election for all the marbles: we have 50 separate elections. One for each state, see?
This means if 1 million illegals vote for HRC on top of the # of citizens in the election and they count them, it doesn’t matter. The number of Electoral College votes for CA is fixed, no matter how many individual votes she gets.
In other words, you have it exactly backwards and wrong: The only polls that matter in a general election are the state by state polls.
And if you don’t believe me, ask Mitt Romney, who foolishly believed the same crap as you are posting here.
Chuckle!
Of course national polls matter.
That is why there has never been a case where any candidate won by 7% (like Ted Cruz is beating Hilary Clinton in the latest Fox polls), and lost the electoral vote. Every single candidate that won the popular vote by 7 points or more, won the electoral votes too.
And if you don’t believe me, ask Mitt Romney, who foolishly believed the same crap as you are posting here.
Now why don't you show me ANY TIME AT ALL that Romney ever led Obama by 7% in the popular vote general election matchups?
Romney got clobbered in the popular vote.
