And that 39% is where she will be during the election. She will not be able to do anything to convince the other 51% of the electorate at this point that she is the best candidate.
Yup. She hasn’t expanded her base or given any one not already her hardcore supporter a reason to vote for her.
Hillary is Nurse Ratched on steroids.
That’s the thing. She will only lose support as people DO wake up. I’m trying to think of what could possibly happen to make someone who currently does not support her decide to move to her camp. I suppose it could happen with those that support the minor candidates, but Donald now gives their few defectors a real, honest to goodness viable and presidential candidate, thanks to his two speeches yesterday.
I don’t see her as picking up new supporters, but definitely see her shedding them.
In a 3 or 4 way race (which is what this is shaping up to be, with Johnson and Stein in the race, pulling about 15% between them) you don’t need 51%.
Remember, Bill won both elections with less than 50%!
