Hillary Clinton holds a small lead over Donald J. Trump nationally, according to a poll released on Wednesday that shows United States voters sharply divided along gender and party lines.

The poll, by Quinnipiac University, found that 45 percent of voters supported Mrs. Clinton, while 41 percent backed Mr. Trump. When adding candidates from other parties, such as Gary Johnson, the Libertarian nominee, and Jill Stein of the Green Party, the race becomes a virtual tie, with Mrs. Clinton leading Mr. Trump by just two percentage points.

The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points....

with 51 percent of men backing the Manhattan businessman and 54 percent of women supporting the former secretary of state.

Those percentages don't indicate nearly the "gender line" split the title of the article suggests.

Internals, anyone? Don’t have time to read the Slimes “let’s-do-a-poll-and-generate-news” piece between meetings today. Or do they even provide the internals? Almost guarantee it’s a Democrat-skewed sample.

Hence the call by neocons for a 3rd party candidate to tilt it to Hillary.

They’ll end up supporting the fruitcake Johnson.

The national media is really pushing this Johnson guy as the flavor of the month. Normally, the Libertarian candidate is a footnote. But they are desperate for some sort of third party to bleed off support from Trump so Hillary can win.

Republicans quietly go about their lives and do not feel like dealing with screechy and unhinged leftwingers squawking about Donald Trump at every turn.

My bet once in the privacy of the voting booth, people will overwhelmingly vote for President Donald Trump.

No, it doesn’t. Still, that means that 54% of American women are drooling morons.

Clinton is the closest thing to an incumbent in the race and so a large number of undecideds who tend to break for the challenger is bad for her. The Republicans have lost the popular vote in 5 of the past 6 elections. Look for the Republican establishment to possibly field a third party spoiler candidate to try to stop Trump. They’d rather make it 6 out of 7 and field another one of their loser candidates in 2020 than possibly re-establish the Reagan coalition.

There are a substantial number of women who are going to vote with their crotch in any election. But instead of the cuter guy, this time it’s the matching plumbing.

Good point. You don’t think *more* than 54% of women would vote for Madame Clintesterone, do you?
