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

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).

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

I suspect Obama’s magic dust is pretty much talcum powder with Orlando/Dallas/Nice/Obamacare Fail and many more disasters coming. And zero bump from Comey decision? Come on!

“Trump, meanwhile, is ahead among whites (50 to 37 percent) and men (46 to 39 percent)

don’t believe the latter for a second... “

I know. How is some Teamster going to pull the lever for that screeching Lesbo once he’s in the voting booth and not feel cucked?

1) Clever that Hispanic numbers “to be released later,” meaning, “damn, Trump is doing so well there we have to bury this.”

2) Don’t believe the younger voter number. An analysis of the Q-poll IA number showed just the opposite, Trump ahead 19% among under 50 voters.

3) I think a 10 point Cankles lead among women reasonable, but Trump is more than +7 with men.

If NBC said it was day time, I’d have to verify that, they are totally dishonest, and the WSJ is too.

Yup. Especially when it comes time to actually pull te lever, not just tell pollsters and girfriends what they want to hear. Let’s not even call it sexism, but “workplace experience”.
