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.

“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.”
They’ll use ground penetrating radar.

The media may attempt to sandbag Trump like they have past Republicans by giving them big leads six months out only to show that lead evaporate in the final months so it appears the Democrat has momentum as voters “get serious” about the elections.
Remember when they dubbed Bill Clinton the “Comeback Kid”?? The Left never changes their playbook.

Only if you believe Gallup (and I certainly don’t). Why would there be 8% more Democrats than Republicans after the carnage BHO and the radical left has wrought on us for 8 long years? The pollsters are so dishonest now, they use skewed polls to justify other skewed polls!

It looks like they dropped the Gravis poll and added the new NBC/WSJ poll to their average since I posted, but they still have Trump ahead of Clinton (by .2% now). That he’s only down by 3 in the NCB/WSJ is also great news, because that poll has been rather obviously biased against him in the past (lots of negative outlier polls, etc.).

Takes lead in Real Cleart for firs time. Even with bogus CBS/NYT poll included.

Folks I am backing Trump all the way but this poll is of Registered Voters not Likely Voters so take it with a grain of salt.

Which is even better for Trump. Since, historically, LVs have always improved a Republican's polling numbers. See Rasmussem, the only LV and Trump +5.

Bernie Sanders can put Hillary away. He just has to start calling her crooked Hillary.
He keeps calling her "Secretary Clinton". Unfortunately, Bernie's too polite for the rough and tumble of a presidential campaign. You have to tell it like it is to wake people up.

Hillary, honey, you just keep on railing against those evil firearms; it’s always been such a winning issue for Democrats in general elections. Oh while you’re confiscating firearms we peasants use to protect ourselves from the depredations of the violent criminal class, please be sure to confiscate all the ones used to protect the elite, you know, like the hundreds of guns used to protect you and your husband.

It’s going to be interesting when Trump brings it to the public why the witch isn’t being indicted after he goes down the list naming her infinite shenanigans.

Here's a hint to get more support for Trump. Find your Bernie supporting lefty friends on facebook. When they post something positive about Bernie make a comment like "Yah, too bad the Democrats are doing everything they can to keep Bernie off the ticket. The Republicans tried the same thing with Trump. The parties just want to control the political process and by extension the people."
Bernie supporters really can't argue with that and will equate Sanders and Trump. They might not vote for him but they sure as heck won't make a huge effort to vote for Mrs. Clinton.
To: Billthedrill
It’s not a protest vote. I believe in Trump’s positions.

Too much to hope for 20% of sanders support.
They will probably stay home after the royal screwing they are going to get at the convention.
I don’t think that they will be ‘scared’ into voting by the prospect of Donald Trump as president.

Yep—he is rebuilding the GOP as we speak.
Welcome. Without such a shakeup, I likely would have been leaving the GOP myself.
