Reuters ^ | 3 June 2016 | Chris Kahn

NEW YORK, June 3 (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton has opened up a double-digit lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, regaining ground after the New York billionaire briefly tied her last month, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.

The shift in support comes as Clinton steps up her attacks on the real estate mogul's policy positions, and as Trump fends off criticisms of his eponymous university and the pace at which he doled out money that he raised for U.S. veterans.

Some 46 percent of likely voters said they supported Clinton, while 35 percent said they supported Trump, and another 19 percent said they would not support either, according to the survey of 1,421 people conducted between May 30 and June 3.

Commie lib propaganda from the commie lib state controlled “media”. She can’t even beat Bernie and she’s got a “double digit” lead over Trump. I don’t think so.

You are so correct.

Reuters will never support anybody with an (R) after their name.

Let’s be scientific about this. A “likely voter” means they expect to be voting in this election. 19% of likely voters say they will not vote for either candidate. Probably 2-4% will vote Libertarian and the rest are either Bernie/Cruz/Rubio/Kasich supporters that can’t yet stomach voting for one of the two nominees.

That tells me probably 10-12% of those will wind up voting for Trump, 5% (mostly Bernie supporters) will drift to Hillary so the real-life result of this will be:

Hillary 50%
Trump 46%
Johnson 3%

That’s not great news for Trump but it’s near the margin of error and can be made up.

Trump can’t spend any General Election contributions until after the convention and he’s tapped out his own financing for the primaries. He needs the GOPe to help finance any ads between now and the convention and it is unlikely they will help out.

Regardless of how this has come about, the timing is actually fortuitous for our side. Hillary is a very weak candidate. If she polls consistently behind Trump she will be forced to drop out and be replaced with someone who will be a bigger challenge to beat. If this were to happen before the Democratic Convention; they would almost have to give the nomination to Bernie. The Democrat establishment does not want Sanders.

During the convention Hillary’s VP will be named. Shortly afterwards if her polls are still bad, Hillary will drop out because of “health” reasons and her VP will become the nominee. This will cause some chaos, but probably will create a bigger challenge for Mr. Trump. If Hillary remains viable for a while after the convention, it will be harder to do this.

The likes of Soros know that as well and are putting on big bets to skew the odds, so as the bookies/mkts react and make their chosen one look better.

Same is going on here in UK with Brexit, huge bets have been put on Remain and the Polls are being rigged.

Non sampled Online polls are running 80 %plus for out, yet official polls, say near 50/50 % !!!!!!!

On the local news they never mentioned San Jose. They only talked about Trump and the Judge.

AB,

Wasn’t Jimmy Carter leading Ronald Reagan in some polls at this time of the year in 1980?

Polls, schmolls...

Sounds a bit odd to me, given the IG report about her constant lying regarding her emails, and her inability to draw a crowd (the other day the media was swooning over a crowd of 3,000 to see her in California).

But, then again, I never thought 0bama would win once, much less twice. The country is filled with idiots, and morons with their hands out, and she promises them free stuff.

I just hope that Trump beats her.

True or not, Trump had better assume it’s true and campaign harder, open up a new line of attack, counter Hillary’s. Supporters should go to rallies armed...with digital cameras of every description, as well as non-lethal, dual-use weapons, such as a roll of quarters or a walking stick.

Aggregate polling (such as the averages of Rasmussen, Quinnipiac, ABC News/Washington Post, NBC News / WSJ, Fox News, and CBS News / NYT) paints a different picture. Their most recent sampling was between 5/17 and 6/1, but the average was 1.5% in favor of Clinton. LINK: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html

Obviously, conservative polls will lean more heavily toward Trump, liberal polls will lean to Clinton. The key thing to consider here, which is not represented in the polling here at all, is that there is a deep, bitter divide between Clinton supporters and Sanders supporters. I'm sure there are Republicans who aren't 100% behind Trump, but what I am not seeing is large numbers saying that their candidate didn't receive the nomination and that they just can't stomach voting for the nominee. What has happened with the Democrats is that Clinton supporters have been rude, harsh, “superior” and confrontational when dealing with Sanders supporters, and Sanders supporters flat-out didn't like Clinton from the start, and this rift is not going to heal between now and November. Trump has a much better chance with Republican voters than Clinton has with Democrats. I don't see Clinton getting a single Republican vote, and she probably won't do that well without Independents, either. When you step outside of a “limited options” direct question like “Who do you prefer, Trump or Clinton,” you see all of the nuances behind the strengths (and weaknesses) of each candidate. Clinton is where she's at right now because of a LOT of help from the DNC. When it comes down to the General Election and nothing but voters in voting booths, you'll see exactly how America feels about putting the Clintons back in the White House.
