(NBC/WSJ) Poll: Clinton Keeps 5-Point Lead Over Trump Heading Into Conventions
NBC News ^ | July 17, 2016 | Mark Murray

Posted on 07/17/2016 6:34:38 AM PDT by Zakeet

On the eve of the GOP convention, Hillary Clinton maintains a five-point national lead over Donald Trump even after a period of negative news for the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Those numbers are unchanged from one month ago with the poll conducted after FBI Director James Comey strongly rebuked Clinton over her email practices even though he determined that she had not committed a crime. The poll was also conducted before Trump selected Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice-presidential running mate.

Clinton has the advantage among African Americans (84 to 7 percent), voters ages 18-29 (55 to 32 percent) and women (52 to 37 percent). The margin among Latinos will be released later on Sunday.

Trump, meanwhile, is ahead among whites (50 to 37 percent) and men (46 to 39 percent), and the two candidates are tied among independents (36 percent each).

Clinton's Big Asset Over Trump: Obama

Yet Clinton has one major advantage Trump doesn't - a popular president who's willing and eager to campaign for her.

I pay no heed to these polls. IMHO, by the end of the DNC.....DJT & MP will be leading in the majority of national polls and will have sewn up Texas, Florida, Virginia, Ohio & Pennsylvania.....thus heading to a landslide victory in November, 2016. Obama will have no legacy, Clinton & the Democrat Party will be in shambles!!! DJT & MP will go above 50% in most polls within the next morth or so!!! Bank on it!!!

The WSJ tends to be moderate to right of center. Why do they sully their reputation by hitching their horse to a known corrupt organization like NBC?

Another NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll for the left wing mediots on ABCNNBCBS and Faux to scream and shout how Trump is losing on their Sunday bs programs.

If these faux polls were accurate, Cruz would be our candidate since they had these push polls every weekend during the primaries. Trump won, not their push poll candidate of the week.

Thanks Timestax!

“Ted Cruz Overtakes Donald Trump in Latest Republican Presidential Poll

Texas senator leads businessman 28% to 26% nationally, Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds!”

Thanks for posting this reality of the bs (NBC/WSJ) Polls during the primaries.

They were lying then, and they are lying now.

I think as Nixon coined it there is a huge “Silent Majority” out there licking their chops just waiting to vote in November. I believe there are many Americans who are keeping silent about their voting intentions for obvious reasons, and on the night of November 8th the entire Globalist Cabal will be overwhelmed by a tsunami of ticked off, fed up Americans voting for Trump.

TRUMP, yes, PRESIDENT Trump, get used to hearing it.

PRESIDENT Trump. VICE PRESIDENT Pence.

“Well, it’s all over but the shouting”

Hillary has ZERO chance of winning this. She is the Democrat Bob Dole. I mean it’s just her TURN. And it’s her LAST chance.

The Democrats know they are going to LOSE with Hillary, but there is nothing they could do about it.

Every issue is in Trump’s favor. America is FED UP with PC. They are interested in REAL issues. Security, economy/jobs, immigration, law & order, energy independence, and lower taxes.

They don’t support Transgenders. They don’t support Black Lives Matter. They don’t support Muslims. They don’t support Hands Up Don’t Shoot nonsense. They don’t support the RIGGED system. They don’t believe in climate change propaganda.

HOW CAN HILLARY WIN?

Maybe, maybe not.

We’ll see because the bias and dishonesty in the MSM and in our culture are as high as they’ve ever been.

And we have no way of knowing the mood of the country.

When it votes, we’ll know for sure.

I have to say that a 5 point lead in a national poll means pretty much nothing. It’s got to be barely out of the margin of error and the vote is not national.

Not a Trump fan (but I certainly will vote for him or any other R nominee) but this story is nearly meaningless.

Nothing against you for posting it, of course!

“Clinton is also enjoying the advantage of not having her own party continually trying to hobble her at the knees.”

True dat. And they show remarkable restraint in not doing so because she’s pretty awful.

Yea....that’s why Hillary supporters are in a panic over the polls. I’d bet their internals are pretty bad.
