Clinton retakes national "lead" over Trump (ZOT!)
The Hill ^ | June 09, 2016 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 06/10/2016 3:55:26 AM PDT by BurgerAndFries

Donald Trump's support has dropped as Hillary Clinton now leads the businessman in a national poll released Thursday evening. Clinton leads Trump by 3 points, 42 to 39 percent, in a Fox News poll, a reversal of their positions in the race since a Fox poll released last month.

Trump's support has dropped 6 points since mid-May, while Clinton's has remained the same from last month's poll that found Trump leading 45 to 42 percent after his last GOP rivals dropped out. The businessman's support among self-identified Republicans has dropped 3 points in the past several weeks while he's fallen 11 points among independents, according to the latest poll.

Trump and Clinton remain largely disliked, with a majority of voters saying that both candidates lack the integrity to be president – 54 percent for Clinton, and 58 percent for Trump.

Far more voters view Clinton as qualified compared to Trump: 69 percent say Clinton is "very" or "somewhat" qualified, while 47 percent say the same of Trump, with more than twice as many saying Clinton is "very" qualified than him.

The survey was conducted this week as Clinton moved to locked up the remaining delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination. It also came amid intense criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike for Trump claiming a federal judge overseeing a lawsuit against Trump university was biased due to his Mexican heritage.

President Obama and other Democratic holdouts have this week announced their support for Clinton, whose challenger Bernie Sanders has signaled he plans to unify the party.

Many expect Clinton to receive a bump in national polling after becoming her party's presumptive nominee and hitting the campaign trail focusing solely on Trump.

Clinton and Trump exchanged Twitter barbs on Thursday, with Trump saying Obama endorsed Clinton because he wants a third term as president and Clinton telling Trump to "delete your account."

The survey of 1,004 registered voters was conducted June 5-8 via landlines and cellphones with a margin of error of 3 points.

“Watching the fools here suck down the Clinton uniparty propaganda is unreal .”

Don’t worry about this stuff. We have a small clique of defeatists on FR who like to show up and wring their hands and pee in their pants.

One survey by an organization that is definitely not supporting or showing any favors to Trump. One poll does not make a trend as we’ve see so many off-the-wall polls this election cycle. I don’t down that the Trump has scared a few people with his comments on the Mexican judge, but that will pass as people realize it is true. What is hurting more is the 100% negative press and backstabbing Republicans. Plus, with Clinton wrapping up her nomination, she’ll get a boost. Perfect storm to knock Trump down in the polls. Down, but not out.

The media is lying to turn the polls against Trump, and this will continue until the election.

Correct. And any registered voter polls which show Trump anywhere near Hillary means that she's going to lose big in November.

Once likely voters get into the real, private polls in November and vote their consciences, it'll be a Trump landslide.

We can expect the Establishment elites & Media (but I repeat myself) to relentlessly wage a propaganda war against the American People in an attempt to affect morale and public opinion.

Steady wins the race.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

Your concern over Trump’s judge comment has been noted, and noted and noted, again.

You keep posting that “concern” statement over and over, thread after thread.

Give it up, already. What point are you REALLY trying to make?

“Poll shows a dead heat, moron.”

And they will continue to show a dead heat until after the conventions. Curious to see what will happen to the polls after Monday when Trump lays out his case against Hillary.

Some intereseting internals from this poll:

Trump is getting 26% support from blacks (a record since blacks started going heavy for Dems in 1960) and 37% Hispanics (Romney only got 27%).

Hillary is getting only 28% from white males, a record low.

White males could be the difference in this race. They stayed home in droves in 2008 and 2012. They just might come out in record numbers if Trump stays on message.

ZOT means that the poster received a “lightning bolt” and has been suspended or banned from the site.

You will also hear the term “Viking Kitties”, who are the characters who issue the lightning bolt.

It will make more sense to you as time goes on.

IBTZ mean In Before the ZOT, meaning you can tell someone is about to get zotted, so you are posting before it happens.

IATZ means In After The ZOT means, well, you are late to the party.

Clinton leads Trump by 3 points

And what's the margin of error? 2? 6? 14?
