Hillary Clinton Leads Donald Trump In Three New National Polls

Hillary Clinton’s polling continues to improve against Donald Trump as three more national polls released Thursday show the presumptive Democratic nominee leading the spray-tanned billionaire.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, Clinton leads Trump by eight points. The survey also shows the presumptive Democratic nominee’s favorability ratings drastically improving over the same poll’s results from last week – now roughly half of respondents said they like the former Secretary of State.

Trump, on the other hand, continues to see his favorability under water, with 60 percent of voters saying they have a negative view of the presumptive Republican nominee.

Two other polls – one from Rasmussen and another from Fox News – also show Clinton gaining ground on Trump.

This is a silly little metric, but I watch the Twitter comments (I know, I know, never read the comments!) and so far this cycle, Hillary gets a lot of "TO PRISON NOW KILLARY" kind of bullshit.

After Obama's endorsement yesterday, I saw the first "Mom!" on there. Like Obama gets "Daddy" all the time.

Again, I realize this is small, but if even Twitter idiots (Twidiots?) are getting in the spirit, I think that's a healthy sign.

(As a side note, who the f calls public figures "Mom" and "Daddy"? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE OH MY GOD I'M OLD)

I follow intelligent people and it seems to raise the level of conversation. I follow very few public figures - Hillary, Bill, and a few film directors and actors. Mostly I follow people I know, people in the same industry/with the same interests that I have, and that seems to help a lot.

Facebook, on the other hand, is where intellect goes to die, in my opinion. Closed my account years ago.

the absolute eviscerating Trump's had from POTUS and Warren this week.

And the endorsements. These numbers are only going to rise.
