[fun n serious]

1. Yes!!

[sheshe2]

2. I like what I see!

[riversedge]

4. I like it also. A slow steady uptake trend

I think is more desirable. Steady as she goes.

[sheshe2]

8. Yup, stay the course.

[leftofcool]

3. I love this! Go Hillary

[dhol82]

5. Don't count your chickens before they hatch

I'll be happier to see these numbers (or better) in evidence at the end of October.

[writes3000]

11. You can be happy to see this numbers AND still work hard to ensure Dems win in Nov.

It is possible.

[dhol82]

16. I am a bit superstitious

I don't want to court disaster by way of hubris.

[writes3000]

17. Understood.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. I am happy to be alive but I am not going to drink a gallon of petrol to test my luck.

[riversedge]

6. msnbc is now talking about nbc/wsj poll where Hillary is 5 pts ahead.

[Hortensis]

7. 39% would vote for him?! Only 64% see him as unqualified?

Oh, my people...

[mercuryblues]

50. There

seems to be an overlap there.

Some people don't think he is qualified and would still vote for him.

[Hortensis]

62. Anything is better than the Democrats.

At least that's the usual excuse. Hear it all the time around here.

[workinclasszero]

9. Landslide coming for Hillary and the democrats!!!

I want the White House, the Senate and...the House as well!!!

Welcome to the real REVOLUTION baby!!

[CrowCityDem]

10. Even the Republican leaning pollsters are showing her pulling away.

[cosmicone]

12. But but it is all due to Hillary's name recogntition

Once people get to know Trump, he will win by a landslide. Trump is so authentic.

Just look at the size of Trump's rallies ....

</sarcasm>

[George II]

22. Yes, they're big but all the people I've seen at them recently have been Scottish!

[Surya Gayatri]

25. Waving Mexican flags!!! LOL!

[cosmicone]

37. Did you overlook the tag? hahaha n/t

[George II]

43. Yes, I saw it.....good thing you included that, or you'd be in lala land now.

[cosmicone]

46. It is almost my second home !! haha n/t

[MohRokTah]

34. .

[MADem]

58. Compared to Justin Beiber's concerts (where people have to PAY to get in),

they're about the same comparative size as their .... hands!

LOL!

[Ace Rothstein]

13. She's starting to hit 50+ more frequently.

He's under 40 in pretty much every poll. This is going to be a massive blowout.

[John Poet]

15. Looking MUCH better than a month ago !

Trump is her best " surrogate".


Thanks for posting the graph.

[mcar]

18. Oh yeah!

[DCBob]

19. Excellent news!!

[LenaBaby61]

20. STILL too early for me to get too excited about ANY GE polling YET'''

Especially given that there have been no debates yet, and that people haven't settled in yet and the fact that it's only June...

However...

I will do my part to keep the Godfather of Soul meme going this beautiful Sunday morning

[George II]

21. As good as these polls look, we can't let up...(I love this song)....

[Johnny2X2X]

23. These polls do mean something

What they do mean is that the doubts about Trump in his own party will continue to grow. They also mean that fundraising will continue to be a challenge for his campaign.

He's getting throttled and he knows it, that means he's bound to lash out and say even more outrageous things. He's still running a Primary campaign, Hillary is one of the most respected women in the world, people don't want to hear him call her and her husband names. He has no ideas to run on save for crazy ones.

[Surya Gayatri]

24. Happy, happy, joy, joy.....thanks for the happy fix.

[Adrahil]

26. Day-um. That's a monumental shift!

Touch wood and all that, but I'm beginning to get excited!

[stonecutter357]

27. K&R!

[doc03]

28. I wouldn't get too cocky Trump has spent next to nothing and

he within striking distance.

[Zambero]

30. Big $$$ contributors are giving next to nothing

The Kochs et al appear to be sitting this one out. Trump must not be a Temptations fan, as he appears "too proud to beg", refusing to personally contact potential sources of campaign cash. If contributions don't come in voluntarily, the ongoing media campaign will have to suffice, as he's done with self-funding. This worked well for Trump during the primary season, but the reviews from the larger electorate are coming in and they are not all good.

[Nye Bevan]

47. He's "spent next to nothing" because he doesn't have that much,

at least in liquid assets, and he is not raising significant funds.

[doc03]

48. Didn't I read last night he raised $18 million in like 24 hours? You also have to

consider every time he opens his mouth the MSN come running like rats to a easy meal.

[Zambero]

29. The Trump train wreck appears to be on schedule

It has left the station. An "all aboard" was given but few boarded. Nevertheless, it is headed toward the cliff at full speed.

[treestar]

31. Poor media, won't get their horse race

They will try as hard as they can but the more exposure Trump gets the worse he looks.

[underpants]

54. Spot on. They are probably going to have even more Trump

Including family interviews but it won't help.

I do have to say that as much as we want to think the overt racist crowd is just at Trump events, it isn't. There are a lot of them out there and they vote.

[tallahasseedem]

32. That means we just fight harder!

Especially for down ballot races...this could be an epic year for Democrats!

[Doodley]

33. And Obama at 56 percent

And it is good to see Obama approval at 56 percent in the same poll.

The more Americans see of Trump, the more they see a stark contrast with their president.

His approval could carry on rising until the election and beyond while Trump sinks into a death spiral.

[progressoid]

44. Welcome to DU Doodley!

[oasis]

35. LANDSLIDE. (eom)

[BlueNoMatterWho]

40. Exactly!

Democrats 36%
Republicans 24%

If we can get the turnout to mirror these polling sample numbers this can be a landslide!

[Kingofalldems]

51. Is that a passive aggressive post I am seeing?

Looks like it.

You seem to be saying the poll is useless.

[redstatebluegirl]

36. We still need to be very vigilant and make sure people show up to vote.

Just watch what is happening in the UK right now. The people who are angry will show up in droves to vote for this crazy person. The danger he can do to our country is unimaginable. Just because we are ahead does not mean we don't keep working hard. We need to continue to work hard down ticket too!

[oswaldactedalone]

38. Amen

GOTV -

[Doodley]

39. You are right RedStateBlueGirl

We cannot take anything for granted, at least until or if we see a total collapse of the Trump vote into the 30 percent range.

Personally, I am optimistic we will see that after the convention that IMO, while giving Trump the nomination, will be a bloodbath of fury, frustration and division within the Republican Party, and there will be an explosion of bad publicity like we have never seen.

When Trump shows he cannot even secure a great deal within his own party, and Republicans are at war over his nomination, many of his loyal followers will doubt his ability to deliver on his promises of making great deals for America.

[NastyRiffraff]

41. I never watch the Republican conventions

but I'll watch this one, for the entertainment value!

Yes, GOTV is more important than ever! It looks good for us, but we can't assume people will be motivated to vote, we have to help them along.

[calimary]

56. Welcome to DU, Doodley.

You're right, we CANNOT take anything for granted, even while it's nice to see Hillary's numbers rise above 50% (one of those metrics the media takes more seriously).

But I doubt many of his loyal followers will start doubting him, no matter who in the CON "Establishment" runs away from him. They're angry, loud, and in-yer-face. I'd expect that'd make them cling to him even harder. Just for spite. Cuz they wanna make America whiteIMEANGREAT again. Remember these types? They're the ruffians with anger issues who get themselves riled up at Trump rallies with their "lord and savior" at the microphone, egging them on and yelling "get 'im outta here!" when some objector speaks out. And some of them tend to like to be armed.

There are some truly scary, menacing people over on the Trump side. We've seen plenty of examples already.

[Doodley]

67. Thank you Calimary

I agree not many loyal followers will desert him, but he got only 45% in the primaries, and the recent NBC poll showed only 45% of Republicans approve of him and 52% would have preferred another candidate, so I think his support could be very squeezable and may continue downward on its current trajectory, with a bigger fall after the convention.

[lunamagica]

42. No, we shouldn't take anything for granted..there's a lot of work to do...but...WOOO HOO!!!

[DesertRat]

45. Awesome! k&r

[doc03]

49. The NBC poll has him down 6 points but only down one

when the independent is included.

[Gothmog]

52. These are strong polling numbers

[LuvLoogie]

53. K&R

[RAFisher]

55. Clinton still maintains her double digit lead when Johnson and Stein are included

Clinton - 47%
Trump - 37%
Johnson - 7%
Stein - 3%

If these numbers hold, November going to be a bloodbath for the GOP.

[uponit7771]

61. THIS ^^^ Is good, did they say if it was likely or registered voters? tia

[Nedsdag]

57. This race is OVER!

Republicans will stay home in November.

[ismnotwasm]

59. K&R

[Peacetrain]

60. "So Good....So Good".....

[Scurrilous]

63. K & R

[democrattotheend]

64. I hate to be a Debbie Downer

But polls like this right now make me a little nervous, because it could give steam to the movement among Republican delegates to replace Trump. Given how controversial Hillary is (so many people either love her or hate her), I don't think it is to her advantage to run against a bland run of the mill Republican, especially when the party would not otherwise be favored to retain the White House. That is not a knock on Hillary, just an assessment of the situation.

[writes3000]

65. They aren't replacing Trump. They don't have another choice.

And the fallout would be epic if they did.

[lancer78]

66. The plant

has worked out well.
