National: Clinton Leads Trump By 7 (Monmouth 47-40)
Monmouth University ^ | 6/20/2016 | Monmouth University

Posted on 06/20/2016 10:45:25 AM PDT by usafa92

West Long Branch, NJ – In a head-to-head contest for president, Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 7 points among registered voters and by 8 points among likely voters. The Democrat’s lead shrinks by a point when potential third party support is taken into account.

Both major party nominees remain unpopular, but more voters say it is important to keep Trump rather than Clinton out of the White House. The latest Monmouth University Poll also finds that attitudes towards terrorism and the Republican nominee’s proposed Muslim ban have not changed much since the Orlando tragedy. Currently, Clinton holds a 7 point lead in a direct match-up against Trump – 47% to 40% among registered voters nationally. Among those who are likely to cast ballots in November, the Democrat’s edge expands to 49%–41%. Importantly, Clinton holds a 47% to 39% lead in the all-important swing states – ten states where the winning margin in the 2012 election was less than seven points.

National polls mean next to nothing in terms of being a barometer of the race and suggestion of the likely winner.
The real measure worth value is the state by state of the toss-up states.

Hillary is leading in swing states 47% to 39%.

That’s the takeaway right there.

I’d call the election for Her Thighness today.

I read an article yesterday (can’t find link) that said BREXIT is going to be rigged. They said the polls will shift first so the steal won’t be so obvious.

Today news: Europe breathing sigh of relief, last two polls has remain ahead. ;-(

Never in the history of polling has the Democrat's numbers gone up when sorting down from Registered Voters to Likely Voters.

Their sample is not correct.

Give what a horrible month Trump has had, I’m pleasantly surprised he’s doing this well. This means it’s still winnable.

“These polls are now always skewed because a higher percentage of libs get polled. “

It’s Monmouth University, this is what you’d expect from them.

Anyone who can read a poll and not refuse to believe it because they personally like Trump so much.

The corruption of our nation has infected everything. The money that will be “lost” if Trump wins is in the billions.

Every apparatus that is available has been or will be corrupted to see to it that Trump does not win.

This includes polling.

Dick Levin isn’t helping much. Bob Grant would have yielded better numbers.
