Clinton Opens 12-Point Lead on Trump as Two-Thirds See Him as Biased (POLL)
abcnews.com ^ | June 26, 2016 | Gary Langer

Hillary Clinton surged to a broad advantage against Donald Trump in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, capitalizing on Trump’s recent campaign missteps. Two-thirds of Americans see him as biased against groups such as women, minorities or Muslims, and a new high, 64 percent, call Trump unqualified to serve as president.

These and other doubts about Trump have produced a sharp 14-point swing in preferences among registered voters, from +2 points for Trump in mid-May, after he clinched the GOP nomination, to +12 points for Clinton now, 51-39 percent. That snaps the race essentially back to where it was in March.

Got to remember history has a way to REPEAT itself. This is 1980 all over again.

Anything associated with the Washington Post is immediately suspect and lacking in credibility.

Talk about bias? The Washington Post is the king of bias.

He’s not going to do that with free media and poor grass roots organizing. Close to four months before the general election, his campaign needs to get off it’s hind end.

At age 66 this is my last political rodeo, if Hillary wins. I will draw the blinds and pull the covers over my head. I will enjoy my golden years reminicing about my American Priviledge and how fortunate I was to enjoy the Golden Era of America, 1950——

Seeing the same thing in my southern town as well Marron. Clinton has a lot of money to spend on phony ads and polls. Let her spend it all.

I have a feeling that this year, Trump voters at least will crawl over broken glass to get to the polls. Nothing will stop them, not this time.

Remember folks are not going to tell the truth so they can be left alone.

I think these polls are being put out to fuel the Never Trumpers to sway delegate. Just my opinion.

The only way he could is via massive,massive voter fraud.

These so called 'polls' are going to be as numerous as cockroaches in a ghetto kitchen between now and November, in one way you could almost call them 'push polls' (not like the usual variety of push poll) in that the libtard media and the 'RATs are trying to 'push' the narrative that Hillary Rotten Criminal is the inevitable winner, and they're hoping to demoralize the Trump campaign and all Trump supporters.

We already know how 'RATs are oversampled in the majority of these polls, don't fall for this crap, if anything it reflects the desperation of those who have chosen to align themselves with the WORST 'RAT candidate in modern history, perhaps of all time.

When this political Trigglypuff of a hag has her rear end handed to her in November, I’m going to return to this article to reflect on their poll!

Crossing from Ohio into Indiana this month for a cabin visit, the only signs I saw were, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump for miles and miles and miles.

Just hope right or wrong polls get his campaign off the dime and underway for real.

Ho-hum...

Yet ANOTHER biased “poll”...

Nice to know how the Clinton “Foundation” has enough money left — after hiring all those “rent-a-mobs” — to continue to pay dweebs to write trick questions for our “honest” pollsters to use in their mis-sampled “polls”.

Alinsky would be so proud!

More unscientific anecdotal evidence. Your experience may vary.

I was not initially a Trump supporter; but I was almost the only one in my extended family who was not. Almost across the board, people who are not normally interested in politics, normally couldn’t be bothered to watch the news are excited, enthused, following every bump and detail of the campaign, gathering around the TV to see what is the latest on Trump.

They love the guy. What about Cruz, I say, he’s a great guy... Yeah, whatever. Trump!

:)

I’ve seen Democrats changing party just to vote for him in the primary. I see all the enthusiasm in Trump and Bernie rallies, almost none for Clinton.

I think this is going to be a blowout. They’ll have to steal it to stop us. And I don’t put it past them.

“This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone June 20-23, 2016, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,001 adults, including 836 registered voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect, for the full sample, and 4 points for registered voters. Partisan divisions are 36-24-33 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents, in the full sample, 37-27-30 among registered voters.”

Ok, another Reuters type poll: 1000 “adults” (+3-4 for D) of which 836 are “registered” (not likely, so +2 D) then the split is a 12-point D advantage.

I’m surprised it’s not worse. How far would Trump be ahead with a +12 R advantage?

My question- why doesn't Trump commission polls? We whine and complain about "biased" polls, yet we won't go out and commission a poll to suit our own objectives. McLame didn't commission polls, neither did Mittens.

There are literally hundreds of polling companies out there that can do this job, and I bet most of them prefer making money to losing money.

Unless Trump has some super-secret internal polls, just commission your own poll.
