i find it fascinating that just as ny polls show a close race,

all of a sudden a new batch of polls comes out with clinton with a huge lead! and on the heels of bernie's 8 state streak AND his vatican meeting invite.

something stinks...and it is not the banana i need to toss....

If look at methodology it rand land line only and had zero demographics listed. Same one ran by same company was land-line and cell phone and it had it much closer. So they did a targeted poll to skew numbers.

The last several polls show her up by 10, 12, 12, 14, 16, and 18. In what universe were polls showing a "close race"?

You guys have been so desperate since Bill Clintons hood slipped. Keep up the good work. I need a laugh since that major betrayal.

We'll just pay a fine at some later date, after we get this stolen cash put in an offshore account.

It was clearly a push poll. One of the questions was along the lines of, "Senator Sanders has proposed tuition free college. How strongly would you be in favor of this if it raises your taxes."

I voted "strongly in favor".

Unfortunately, many can't get past the word "free" long enough to think it through logically. The savings realized by providing free college tuition could actually pay for it in time.

Fewer hopeless young people resorting to drugs and crime
Less money spent on law enforcement
Less money spent in the court system
Less money spent in the prison system
Less welfare

More employment
More tax revenue being generated
