Poll: Clinton would crush Trump in general election

Hillary Clinton would crush Donald Trump in a hypothetical general election match-up, a new national survey found.

According to a Bloomberg Politics poll released Wednesday, Clinton leads Trump 54 percent to 36 percent in a contest between the two front-runners.

Also troubling for Trump – nationally, only 29 percent of likely general election voters have a favorable view of him, compared to 68 percent who view him negatively.

Trump’s favorability rating is at an all-time low in the survey, while his negative rating has gone up 13 points since November and hit a new high.

Carter was supposed to “crush” Reagan too in early polling. How did that turn out? These polls are meaningless right now.

How convenient for those who loathe Trump.

Especially after 20 debates
or maybe just one debate
Imagine a candidate who is not cowed into being pc when addressing Hillary’s nonsense
Pay per view time

I’d rather not see any references to Clintons and cigars.

“Yeah? Well, I’m a conservative, and I’m worried about Trump getting crushed, also. He’s a fool, and most of the public sees it clearly.”

As opposed to what, the lying, smarmy fake preacher from Canada? Oh, yeah. HE has a chance of winning.

Let Hillary go in there overconfident. The more overconfident the better.

Put a cat up against an alpha dog and the fur will fly, mostly the cat’s.

If Trump stops the unforced errors, particularly his personal fights involving women, and stays focused on borders/jobs - he might have a chance.

He needs to hold almost all of GWB’s states picking up a rust belt state or two (MI? WI?) to make up for some Hispanic-driven losses (CO, NM) from the GWB slate. FL should be a big worry. Hillary got slightly more votes than he did in the primary and she will inherit all of Bernie’s votes, while Trump is less certain of picking up all of Cruz/Rubio’s. Virginia is going to very tough too.

IIRC, Carter was +18 over Reagan in March 1980.

Carter at that point still had the “Desert One” debacle ahead of him.

I’m waiting for all those hypothetical voters to come out of their theoretical homes, and go to the theoretical polling places.

Imagine: Hillary “The First Woman President” Clinton vs. Donald “Mr. Rude and Crude” Trump. How would that play out? Women would vote for Hillary over Trump by the biggest margin ever. The Gender Gap would become the Gender Grand Canyon.

Unfortunately, that scenario has a good possibility of coming true.

Just talked to 12 women of some wealth and class and they ALL said they were voting for TRUMP!!!

Unfortunately, the polling companies talk to a lot more women, and of a broader social strata - and the results are less happy for Trump.

Unfortunately, you’re forgetting the one thing hard wired into a woman’s DNA...security.
