Also, Trump's favorables among Whites have increased from 42-53 in their July poll to 48-49 now.

Hillary dropped from 41-57 in July to 34-65 now among Whites ...

[King]

What a terrible country we'd be if it were nothing but Whites.

Let him run a campaign and see how is numbers do.

Those Bernie supporters will turnaround. She's been tarred with "FBI" and server headlines for a little bit, and enjoying a bit of a reprieve now that the media appreciates her new contrition on the emails.

[Mehmentum]

I love how breakeven favorables are a badge of honor at this point.

Page 3 is the best part.


Hillary has a 45% approval rating, about the same as Obama. Trump is up 4 points on favorables and down 2 on unfavorables. Yeb is up 8 on unfavorables and unchanged on favorables.

Whites and Blacks increased their disapproval of Clinton. Hispanics actually approve more of Clinton now than before the email scandal. Which shows what a pathology their culture is. Most likely they miss the corrupt incompetence of the homelands or maybe it is Univision and their propaganda. Either way Hispanics are disqualifying themselves from civilized society.

Hillary at 34% white support. 5 points lower than Obama got in 2012.
Yeb more popular with LaRaza than with Whites 43% v 39%.

20% disapproval among Blacks with Hillary. While the GOP wont get 20% of the black vote (if they did theyd sweep PA and MI easily), it shows that the GOP can get 10-12% and that Black turnout wont be 13% of the electorate it was in 2008 and 2012 but 11% that it was in 2004. This will make NC solid red, put VA into play and make PA and MI somewhat more competitive. Probably tilt FL&OH to the GOP as well.

Breaking news: Biden not yet officially running for President.  News at 11.

(And I say this even as a big fan of Uncle Joe... there's no way his approvals would stay that high if he were actually running.)

[Eraserhead]

No Bernie numbers? Lame.

That's a ludicrous and offensive inference in my opinion that you made there. It's way, way, over the top. Anecdotally I have never met an Hispanic who had any illusions about just how corrupt Mexico is and how it truncates economic opportunity. They also are very unhappy with the increasing violence in that country. And in the US they tend to be law and order types. It's so much easier to stereotype a group, when you really don't have much personal experience with them.

Let's see Biden's numbers after the Republicans attack him for 18 months straight.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Familiarity certainly breeds contempt.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Let's see Biden's numbers after the Republicans attack him for 18 months straight.

Hillary has a net favorable of NEGATIVE 9.4 on Huffington.  Obama's worst ratings ever were negative 5 around the election last year, and today he's positive 1.3 points. Obama has been attacked for 7 years straight, so Hillary has no excuse.

[Joe Republic]

Um, Hillary has been attacked for the past 23 years.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Um, Hillary has been attacked for the past 23 years.

Not as much as Obama, and certainly not much when she was SoS.

Hahahaha!!!
I admit that was a good one.

[bagelman]

Biden's been laying low as VP while Clinton and Bush both represent dynastic politics.

[jimrtex]

What is surprising that the never-heard-of are so low.

"Do you know me? I ran for vice president of the United States. I shouldn't have trouble charging a meal, should I? Well, I do. That's why I carry the American Express Card."

It could just be because he hasn't entered the race yet and hence hasn't been subject to the constant and scrutinous media attacks that the other three have...

What a terrible country we'd be if it were nothing but Whites.

David Duke (not an exaggeration) would've been a two term Governor of Louisiana.

David Duke (not an exaggeration) would've been a two term Governor of Louisiana.

Would David Duke have been that popular among whites if the country had no racial minorities?

Fair enough, I was just doing a crude analysis and taking Duke's percentage of white voters won.

Yeah, whites have gotten more and more conservative as minorities' percentage of the population has gone up.  This reality seems to have escaped Ann Coulter, who thinks that somehow we'd be a conservative utopia without the 1965 immigration act (which is funny, because the country turned sharply to the right in the 4 decades after 1965).
