Donald Trump starts the general election behind Hillary Clinton by a mile

Donald Trump starts the general election behind Hillary Clinton by a mile
By Philip Bump May 4 at 9:55 AM

With truly remarkable timing, CNN and its polling partner ORC released a new national survey previewing the general election before the sun even rose Wednesday after Donald Trump essentially clinched the nomination. How did they do this? Magic.

What the poll shows is that the almost-certain general election contest between Trump and Hillary Clinton (barring some dramatic change of fortunes) is Hillary Clinton's to lose. What it also shows, perhaps more alarmingly to Team Trump, is that Clinton's current lead has expanded since an initial surge of interest in Trump last fall.
