"How does she possibly now convince Bernie fans..." - Simple, she can't. It's not just "Bernie fans" who don't trust HRC, 58% of Americans don't trust her - and with good reason. Want more WS banking abuses that almost brought down the U.S. economy during Bush's term? Vote for HRC who gave closed-door "speeches" to WS banks for #200-250,000 a pop and doesn't think voters have a right to know what she said.
I'm struggling to see the point of this column. With the exception of 2008, when Obama won by one percentage point, it has been a reliably red state for decades. It is not unusual at all in having Democrats clustered in the large metro areas and Republicans scattered throughout the rest of the state. Nor is it unusual that different parts of the state have different characteristics. I haven't seen any polls or news stories indicating that it won't continue to be a red state in this year's election.
Only 30% of the entire country sees him favorably. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton swamped Trump among likely voters in a presidential matchup, 61% to 25%, despite her significant negative ratings.
The preference of voters younger than 30 for a Democrat over a Republican as the November victor nearly doubled in the last year as the presidential campaign grew in prominence, according to the survey by Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
Currently 61% of millennial voters prefer a Democrat in the White House, and 33% favor a Republican, the poll found. In a similar survey released last spring, the gap between the two parties was only 15 percentage points.
Republican front-runner Donald Trump was far and away the least popular candidate among those polled. Overall, only 17% of millennials had a favorable view of him, and 6 in 10 said they had a "very unfavorable" view of him. Just under a quarter had a favorable view of the other two Republican candidates, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
Among Republicans, Trump was seen negatively by 57%. Only 1 in 3 Republicans felt the same way about Cruz or Kasich.
In another measurement, young GOP voters said by a margin of 82 points that they wanted a Republican in the White House. But when asked specifically about Trump, there was a much smaller 44-point divide between those wanting him in the White House as opposed to Clinton.
Donald is " uniting" AmeriKa already. Look at the riot in California. I said a month ago , you haven't seen anything yet. He'll stoke the violence , because he's a poor loser and acts like an 8 year old at every chance he gets. He's going to build a wall, BUILD up the military, cut taxes across the board, and balance the budget. That he's going to have his hair refurbished in a comb over that resembles a crown.
If he loses Indiana the Battle of Lake Erie is a go this summer in Cleveland. Nobody likes either candidate. It's a choice. Do we crash now or crash later? Do we do it with Cruz or Trump? Pick your poison!
Given the alternatives of Trump or Cruz from the Republicans, it is either vote for the Democrat (presumably Hillary) or emigrate. Canada is looking forward to it.
The Indianapolis Star is declaring Ted Cruz ahead of Donald Trump. According to their poll Cruz leads with 44%, the Donald at 29% and Kasich at 13% with another 13% undecided. However the NBC/WSJ/Marist poll gives Trump 49%, Cruz 29% and Kasich 16% and 6% undecided. Is Trump due for another shot of humility? Wow these Indiana polls are all over the place! RCP shows a poll released last Friday with Trump at 35%, Cruz at 33% and Kasich at 16%. This usually results when pollsters underestimate or overestimate the turnout from some segment of society.
some Troll was thinking that Cruz had overtaken Trump... Nope wrong again.
“This is how elections are won in America,” Mr. Cruz gloated after walking away with the most delegates in Wyoming last month.
Now, as he faces a potentially candidacy-threatening contest on Tuesday in Indiana — where a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll, released Sunday morning, showed him trailing Mr. Trump by 15 percentage points — Mr. Cruz can take little solace from his vaunted delegate-wrangling operation even if he prevails there.
It turns out that delegates — like ordinary voters — are susceptible to shifts in public opinion. And as the gravitational pull of Mr. Trump’s recent primary landslides draws more Republicans toward him, Mr. Cruz’s support among the party’s 2,472 convention delegates is softening, threatening his hopes of preventing Mr. Trump’s nomination by overtaking him in a floor fight.
Please do not elect a socialist or a liar. At least Trump will fight for the average American. If you do not know what a socialist or a liar is please talk to a republican. Hillary is a nice woman at the poker table.
How does she possibly now convince Bernie fans that she cares about their core belief about the influence of money in politics?
Especially with her historic low trustworthiness polls ... none of us believing any promise she makes?
Ok queue the personal attacks and dislikes without any Hillary fans able to answer the question.
