    I will say that the rout will be that Trumpf will crush the Hillary.

    Both of the remaining Democratic candidates for president easily top Republican front-runner Donald Trump in hypothetical general election match-ups, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll.

    What you do, poll yourself and a few of your liberal friends?

    It's amazing how partisanship can influence reality.

    That's too tight for my money. I know more voting regressives who think Trump's a "hoot", and too many progressives wondering why they should bother.

    If the poll has said the opposite, you'd be the first one to make it an OP.

    These polls are meaningless at this point. In March of 1980, Jimma The Teeth led Ronaldus Maximus "The Great One" by 25 points. The pointy heads assured us that electing him would ensure a Goldwater size wipeout. Instead Ronaldus Maximus took the ECV 489 - 49.

    For every outlier like this one, you'll find many more examples were the polls got it right.

    Clinton isn't just beating Trump in this poll--she tramples him in virtually all of them. His favorability has actually declined in recent weeks.

    For every outlier you post, there are 3x as many examples where the polls got it right.

    Right-wingers who think Toupee Guy is going to pull a Reagan 1980 are sadly delusional.

    Oh no. It's just like 1980 all over again.

    In March of an election year? Okay, I have posted one, you owe us 3.

    In March of 2000 Bush led Gore by 6. Gore won the popular vote in Nov. Now you owe us 6.

    Said nothing about March of an election year. That's your criteria, not mine.

    Face it, if Trump was consistently beating Hillary in the polls, you couldn't run to the computer fast enough to share it with everyone. Polls only matter when Trump is in the lead.

    Trump can easily replicate 1980.

    Cloning White people so that they make up 85% of the electorate should pose no significant challenge for the genius who decided to get into the mortgage business in 2006, LMAO.

    Why weep? You're citing what is clearly an outlier, regarding a guy who won't get the nomination. Trump has peaked - once other candidates drop out their support will shift more towards Cruz than Trump, and they've been nearly neck and neck lately.

    Jose the illegal alien gardner who cuts most of my neighbors lawns was polled by NBC and he's not a member of BLM.

    The head to head polls being discussed now, are polls in March, during an election year. Such polls have a rather dismal predictive outcome of the actual election.

    In March of 2004 Kerry led Bush by 8 points

    Now you owe us 9.

    Lying fat little frog refuses to answer what she would do if indicted. Would she actually drag the Democrat Party through an election with the top of the ticket under Federal Indictment?

    Obviously she will if she wants to. She obviously could care less about the secrets of the United States, maybe she could care less about the Democrat Party. Maybe be she doesn't give a damn about anyone but her.

    At least the Left is removing the mask for why they're "glad" for more diversity. It's not for "multiculturalism", but it was for more seats in Congress and eventually the WH. Congratulations on that front, the Left absolutely succeeded. But the Left also succeeded in making the US Iraq 2.0. Tribal divisions for years to come.
