Hillary Clinton is 7 points ahead. In this country, this is a HUGE gap and this race is for Clinton to be lost at this point. So the hand wringing is not necessary. If anything, it seems the AP hatchet job is failing, as Hillary Clinton has been around + 6 % in average.

But the media need to claim the race is closing to maintain interest. While we cannot be complacent, we do not need to accept their meme.

Too many Republicans won't recognize it or acknowledge it, and they'll still want to vote AGAINST Hillary.

It's like President Obama said: we need to "run scared" all the way through the election in order to ensure success -- and to ensure the biggest possible landslide in her favor.


=====================

as if the issues each campaign has are somehow equal. Really scary shit and especially since a large number of Americans can't tell the difference. I guess that is where we come it.

Wintbget the last word Donald did too much damage and continues too on a daily basis The media always pulls this crap they did the same shit in 12 we can't let it get to us If Donald was leading by 5-7 and up in swing states we would be fucked GOTV Ppp poll out just now no change from last ppp polls plus 5 two way or 4 way GOTV

Monmouth U Poll, a favorite of Fox News, is just another fake poll. Their sampling isn't random and they weigh by party affiliation.

She's still ahead in this poll GOTV even tho it's Fox News favorite poll Cmon hand wringers really think team Clinton is taking anything for granted ?? They are not !

pollster, as I recall.

While the media continues to perpetuate the myth that the race between the two candidates is a nail-biter, the polling continues to show a steady Clinton advantage.
Hillary Clinton Leads Donald Trump By Seven Points In New National Poll

According to a new Monmouth University poll released on Monday, Hillary Clinton has a solid seven-point lead over Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup, 49-42. This despite Trump’s recent strategy of desperately latching onto conspiracy theories about the Democratic nominee’s health, the work of the Clinton Foundation, and even Clinton’s intelligence.

Clinton’s margin remains the same with third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein included.

While the media continues to perpetuate the myth that the race between the two candidates is a nail-biter, the polling continues to show a steady Clinton advantage.

She now leads Trump by an average of 7 percentage points, according to HuffPost Pollster.

That's based on 100 state polls. 341 is 63% of the Electoral Votes, which unlike national polling percentages, means something.

State polls don't get done as frequently, and especially when you put them all together, you are often looking at data that is as much as 2 or 3 weeks old, which is an eternity in today's political climate. I pretty much discount any polls more than 3 days old.

Most Republican voters now regret their choice.
How does this even compute?

Nate now has a Clinton win at 77.3% down from about 89% a few weeks ago, so yeah, the polls are tightening. We can't afford to cherry-pick polls like the Rethugs do; we got to always face facts. This will probably be a nail-biting election and I'm not as sure about it as I was a few weeks ago. The debates will be crucial for HRC.

A lot of people like Trumps genocidal platform. Torture, spreading nukes, cracking down on black people. This is the new normal.

I see you think it will be a "nail-biting' election. What percentage would that be, approximately? Would you consider say, 7% a nail-biting election?
Welcome.

polls like this will help keep the donald puffed up and in the race through September, well past the point where the RNC can sneak in a replacement

Favorite gets convention bounce, which wears off in a few weeks.
