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.

I think it’s too early to take her out. We need to watch him beat HER, and we deserve to watch this after 25 years of the Clintons. (Not Bernie or some other candidate, only HER for the final deathblow.)
I don’t think Trump is peaking-—he will be over 50 soon-—but I am growing concerned that Cankles is crashing too fast and may be replaced by Bite-Me.
Excellent point.
I must say though, for me, what started out as a protest vote out of disgust with the whole dang system, has become full support and admiration of Trump.
Thanks, there are more democrats that’s true. I just hope they turn out literally to be Trump-Democrats in November!!
I was one until March in Maryland. Trump was the only republican who compelled me to make a move.
>>Do not believe the polls. Work/think/act like Trump is down by 4. Assuming we will win is dangerous.
I doubt that anyone, especially Trump, is going to push in the clutch and start coasting just because of a poll.
Well done. I looked up raddled and collops.
Should Obama pardon Hillary BEFORE or AFTER the Dem Convention?
A properly sampled LV poll may show him leading prohibitively.
I was about to say the same thing. But I don't think even the LV polls at this point have their LV screen really tweaked at this point. If it's RV, you generally need to add a few points to the Republican candidate as your typical lazy Democrat decides to suck a little longer on the government teet than showing up to vote.
The news is even better than that. The Real Clear Politics average has Trump up over Clinton by .4% now. This is the first time that the RCP average has had Trump beating Clinton, and they’ve been tracking this for almost a year now. Three of the five polls in their current average show Trump ahead, and another is within the margin of error. This is great!
“We are blessed to have a fighter as our nominee who isnt afraid to take on the Democrats instead of Republicans.”
You got that right!
The “Trump hates women” attacks are backfiring. We figured they would.
Folks...the clear handwriting is on the wall, for all Americans to see!!! DJT is going to politically trounce both Hillary Clinton & the entire Democrat Party!!! It’s over. Obama better fire up old man Joe Biden & Squaw, Elizabeth Warren for the “Hail Mary Pass”!!!
I caught the Chuck Todd, “Meet the Press” “softball, lovefest” interview, with Hillary Clinton this AM. The same usual fantasyland babble!!! The TV media has nary a clue!!!
“I think the raddled harridan will be beaten into collops.”
No room for doubt but tell me, will the slithy toves gyre and gymble? Will the mome raths outgrabe? Will the Donald come galumphing back, having avoided the Jubjub bird and shunned the frumious Bandersnatch? Will he slay the Jabberwock? Will we all shout, “O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
As long as a good number of Berners stay home, we don’t need to poach 20% from them.
National Polls don’t mean much. What I want to see are likely Voter Polls from OH, FL, PA and MICH. If and when Trump leads those, Hillary will panic.
Negroes is spanish for blacks and as you say it is practically illegal. Of course no one would object to referring to a white person as a blanco.
