Hillary Clinton surged to a broad advantage against Donald Trump in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, capitalizing on Trumps 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.

(8,254 posts)that since 1980 the GOP was the Largest Organized Group of Bigots and Hate Mongers in the USA albeit sometimes it ran just below the Surface of the Party. But Trump has brought all the GOP Bigots and Hate Mongers to the surface and out of the Closet!

(8,254 posts)we have to frame the election than every time someone is associated Trump , they will be thought of as a Bigot. Trump sign in the yard,,,, confirms a a Bigot lives there... if downstream candidate appears with Trump ,,,, they are Bigots!

(2,169 posts)and 39% support him, so there are a number of people who actually believe he is unqualified and will vote for him. SMH!

(19,107 posts)His anti Hillary speech tanked last week. He was speaking to the people he won over in the primary. The rest of the country was appalled that the speech was entirely lies.

(6,400 posts)The wave of sources beating down the lies was surprising. Usually they're just passed on without commentary by papers and sources, so it was an interesting shift in narrative there. Especially since they tend to let lies about the Clintons linger even longer.

(43,258 posts)Hillary's an effective candidate, I think she has considerable upside
as people warm up to her. She's been so vilified by the GOP-manufactured
email scandal that things are likely to improve from here.
Trump's baggage is known, and he must spend time trying to turn that
around. I expect he will vilify Hillary some more in October with email
and Banghazi taunts, and keep screaming "Take your country back!"
because it worked in Britain. Trump's numbers will improve as I think
they've bottomed, but I see his upside as a moderate move. You just
can't change the temperament and character issue overnight, or at all
really.

(10,107 posts)My first thought biased? So to steal from the fascist himself, is that the "politically correct" term for racists these days?

Obama got 51.1 percent of the popular vote to Mitt Romney's 47.2 percent, a four point margin. (Let's all pause for a moment and savor the fact that history will show that Romney won
47 percent.) That's a wider margin than George W. Bush won by in 2004 (51-48), when pundits on the right like Charles Krauthammer declared that he had earned a mandate. OOPS!
That makes Obama the first president to crack 51 percent two elections in a row since Dwight Eisenhower more than a half-century ago. (Sorry, conservatives, Ronald Reagan only reached 50.75 percent in 1980.)
So, some are saying The Trumpster will do better than that 47% - he has a long way to go from 39% .....from 44% - with NO support (except from Sessions - Gomer - and King - the three stooges, no offense to the three stooges) - I've got the popcorn and I'm a good sharer....
Be well ALL Du'ers...

(3,275 posts)but I don't want us to relax about the election. I want us work hard until election day to get every vote we can. I want Trump to lose very badly.

Good to see you, Irish.
