Trump 42
Clinton 37


"Trump now gets 76% of the Republican vote, while Clinton has 72% Democratic support. Thirteen percent (13%) of Democrats prefer Trump, while nine percent (9%) of GOP voters favor Clinton. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Trump leads 41% to 28%, but 31% of these voters either like another candidate or are undecided."

"While there is much talk of a gender gap in this race, Clinton appears to have a bigger problem with men than Trump does with women. Trump leads by 22 points among men, compared to Clinton’s 11-point advantage among women.

Those under 40 favor Clinton, while older voters prefer Trump by double-digit margins."

I can't think of any other political figure whose unfair mischaracterizations have stuck as much as Hillary's. It's honestly astonishing how blind people are not only to the accomplishments of this woman, but also the obvious animating principles of her life's work.

I think Scotty needs to find a new career.  Polling clearly isn't working out for him.

[Fusionmunster]

Wow. Just wow. If Trump wins this election, will he have been the most underestimated candidate in history?

Remind me, were you one of the posters in may of 2012 who got all excited about Romney winning when he started leading Obama?

The party is divided, Hillary will have her edge back in June.

So very true.

[Sir Mohamed]

Junk poll.

[MT Treasurer]

Junk poll.

HE CAN'T WIN.
DEMOGRAPHICS.
HE HAS A CEILING.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Junk poll.

Yeah, but keep in mind there's also 21% undecided.

This and the fox poll may be a little off, but other polls show Clinton dropping like a rock against Trump. Her best bet may be a close race at this point, if she can hold onto certain states.
Florida won't put her over the top if she loses Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania wouldn't be in jeopardy if the race was in her favor, but now it is already beginning to look like it could be close. Of course, this will all change, but all things considered her supporters should be very very worried at this point in time. Winning Florida while losing Pennsylvania gives her a net gain of nine electoral votes. If she could win both she could win. If she loses both she is in trouble, although could pull it off with a few other scenarios.

The Democratic Party just gave into her without a fight (barring the 73 year old socialist), not realizing the majority of Americans hate her.

[Ebsy]

It's going to be a long trek to November.

Why are Democrats so intent on nominating the weakest possible candidate? How come nobody ran against her other than Bernie?

[MK]

These polls are way too far out to be taken seriously.  It does say that maybe Trump isnt goldwater 64 and this might be more of a 2000 type of election.   I could see Hillary winning the popular vote and slightly lose the EC. 

The country really doesnt want Hillary all Trump has to do is prove acceptable and its his.

I'm not so sure. My theory is that there is a significant chunk of the electorate who will vote for Trump but won't admit it to pollsters, and these polls obviously don't account for those people.

He doesn't work there anymore.

Yep, even Scott thought Rasmussen was too terrible to be believed, as this poll helps confirm.

[Seriously?]

Do the math, if you have a Trump -3 on one side, a Trump +5 is also possible with a MOE of +/- 4%.

It's not junk. It's the status of the race at this point. Single digits.

[President Johnson]

Although I wouldn't take national polls so seriously at this early stage, it clearly shows that TRUMP is very competitive and proves that all the talk of TRUMP losing big is nonsense.

[heatcharger]

Although Trump is clearly rising, I thought it was established that Rasmussen was a bad pollster.

[RJEvans]

Bernie's plan is working. Damage her as much as possible and then steal the nomination.

...Maybe if it were possible to name a single accomplishment, than people would be able to "see" them. 
A) Riding around in a plane isn't an accomplishment
B) opening up diplomatic relations with Myanmar is a nothing.

Those are the best examples I've ever herd of "Hillary Accomplishments"   
Also, when you can list her failures and crimes for hours it outweighs whatever single accomplishment you struggle to come up with.

Yeah I don't think Trump is up 5 put it does show that Clinton has collapsed in the past 3 weeks

[RJEvans]

Looks like Trump's lead is more about Clinton falling than Trump rising. I definitely think Bernie is doing damage as more and more Bernie supporters view Clinton unfavorably. It's going to be difficult getting those supporters to jump on the Clinton bandwagon.
