Bad Polling from All Sources for Clinton: HRC Supporters Are Ensuring Trump Victory

The latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll released on Tuesday shows Clinton’s earlier five-point lead over Trump shrinking to just three points within a week’s time, 48 percent to 45 percent.

And a new national survey by Morning Consult has the race even closer, with Clinton ahead by just 42 percent to 40 percent, a statistical tie.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released last Wednesday also showed the candidates deadlocked, with 41 percent of likely voters supporting Clinton and 40 percent backing Trump, and 19 percent undecided.

given how the whole noise machine is screaming and hollering and jumping up and down and pushing this story for all they're worth.

And they have a point--it doesn't look good for a candidate with the whole party machine, Wall Street, and the corporate media on her side to still be sweating things this close to the end of the primaries.

Problem is, Hillary's polls only ever go down. The shit that happened in NV is probably helping that trend as well. We have very little data on Trump's polls, but I don't think they will match Hillary's downward trend.

Sanders polls better against Trump. Period, end of story. If Hillary suppoerters were really worried about Trump, they would support Bernie as the best chance to beat him. That they aren't is a strong indicator that they don't really care about Trump except to browbeat others.
