There’s a whole lot of good news and ‘splodey head angst in the latest ABC/Washington Post national poll (full pdf below). The poll sample size of 1005 includes a mix of 33% Democrat, 27% Republican and 35% Independent. Democrats over sampled by eight points, (D+8).
However, even with the sample skew (D+8) Donald Trump still beats Hillary Clinton 46% to 44%, and Trump is crushing Clinton with Independent voters 48% to 35%.
In addition to the overwhelming 13 point polling lead among independent voters, the same poll shows that 20% of Bernie Sanders supporters will vote for Donald Trump.

Interesting. Reuters show Trump behind and a poll with the WaPo involved shows him ahead....gonna have to ponder that for a while...
Hillary’s indictment looms.
But 8% more Americans are Democrat affiliated or leaning:

An even polling would not be representative.
Trump probably doesn’t get any sleep until he is ahead in every poll.
Hillary won’t know what hit her.
Next time she emerges from her drug induced hibernation she’ll find herself in a whole new world.
She is toast.
Cruz would be playing it like Romney and getting his butt kicked by Hitlery. We are blessed to have a fighter as our nominee who isn’t afraid to take on the Democrats instead of Republicans.
Who is voting for this alleged woman in the Dem primaries? Negroes, illegals, and women..? As usual?
You are absolutely correct. We cannot afford to make assumptions that may never come to pass: “Hillary will drop out of the race due to health reasons”, “Hillary will be indicted and forced to drop out of the race”, etc. The polls will change back and forth, and we cannot arbitrarily dismiss polls showing Trump a few points behind as a biased poll, and therefor meaningless. We have to proceed on the assumption that we will have to fight for every single vote right up until the last polling place closes on election night. To get complacent and do otherwise is just too risky.
Mr. and Mrs. Bill’s heads may be down for a week, but they will fight back to gain the confidence of the vast unwashed of America.
It's already practically illegal to use this word. Who would have thought this would have become so back in 1970?
The Garu Johnson-William Weld Libertarian Party ticket is being assembled. Every vote for these two is the same as endorsement for Mrs. Bill.
Bill and Hillary fight like little girls.
They will have no choice and will have to get into the mud pit with Trump.
And Trump will finish them off. He has a lot of experience beating back desperate candidates trying to catch up.
If she really tanks, then YES on the indictment.....if she stays ahead, then NO to an indictment.
I prefer the sample size to be skewed in favor of the democrats.
Hillarys indictment looms.
***************************************
The less likely she looks to beat Trump, the more likely that will happen. The threat of it or it actually happening, is the only way to get her out if the Dems decide she is such a poor campaigner & so fatally flawed that she cannot win in November. The only thing keeping her afloat is the super delegate situation.
I think the over-sample is a discreet way to account for the fraud factor. This result signals that the Dems will have to exhume a few million more dead voters for them to have a chance. A tall order, even for them.
