As we pivot out of the primaries we are in a very good position.

Poll after poll has Clinton ahead. It's even more drastic when looking at the EC.

We cannot become complacent. These polls are just about meaningless at this point in time. Do not let them make you think Clinton has this in the bag. We have a lot of time and need to expand upon our lead. Progressive policies win arguments. Keeping Trump out of the WH and continuing the progress of Obama is paramount.

These polls coming out after the convention will most likely show Clinton moving further ahead. I really want to stress how meaningless they are. The most influential aspect of them will be what they do to Trumps psyche. He will become unhinged, not that he hasn't already.

Looks like it's following the same pattern as 2008, or 2012, though Obama always polled more consistently higher than Clinton.
