    Trump is doing better among democrats than Clinton among republicans. I am beginning to wonder if it may end up easier to defeat Hillary in the GE than it has been so far to defeat the republican establishment, the subservient media and 16 respected well-established candidates during the primaries.

    Hillary is an archaism who has overstayed her welcome, no accomplishments in 25 years of public service, no platform for the future, she is joined at the hip with Wall Street, donors, lobbyists, special interests. Her, being the quintessential establishment candidate and going against a charismatic super successful businessman in the year when insiders are out of luck can end pretty badly. Oh well, too soon to tell, polls mean nothing 6 months before the election day.

    .

    I agree. These issues along with her scandal portfolio makes her a "target rich environment"
    for the kill shot artist Donald Trump.

    Unfortunately, if there is such a freak incident that Trump would win the GE, under good conscience would I not be able to follow anything that would be passed under a Trump administration.

    Throughout the campaign, there have been outlier polls that have shown Trump in the lead. The vast majority of them have shown Clinton in the lead.

    First off, it would be no freak accident, wall street TPP Hillary is anti middle class worker and a closet racist, once her base realizes this she will lose in a landslide. you won't follow what? that's a weird statement?, are you here legally? please clarify, lets talk about it because Trump will be the President next year.

    Rasmussen has a history of unreliable polls that skew towards the GOP. His lead in this poll should be taken with a grain of salt and if the election were held today I highly doubt he would be close to a victory. That being said, he is becoming more acceptable to the GOP as a whole and has probably started to close the gap with the general electorate over the past couple of weeks. Notice that Cruz is now doing as poorly or worse than Trump against Hillary in the polls. This wasn't always the case.

    In my real life, I know of very few tools who support Clinton. Bern seems to be the guy everyone likes. I think the Clinton support is FAKE.

    Rasmussen doesn't have a great record so I'm not sure I buy this poll, but I do think that Trump has an advantage in the general election at poaching Democrats than any of the other Republican candidates.

    I don't know how "fake" it is. I don't like her, but she does have more votes than any other candidate on either side.

    Ya, but voter fraud is rampant. Every government worth there grain a salt is trying to effect our elections. Hillary will get the support of all America's rivals because she will continue the dismantling of America. They use there "No ID" needed to vote as a tool for the establishment to rig elections.

    Tell you what I will take a 10 inch diameter pie and slice it into 10 pieces and you take a pie 5 inches in diameter divide it in 2 pieces. Whose pie slices will be larger? see I play with numbers also. hint the ten pieces would be 31.4 units of area and the 5 inch would yield 2 slices that had 39 units of area.

    It's a mistake to underestimate Trump. He's a brilliant marketer who's going to completely change tactics for the general. I agree with the quote by Mark Cuban:
    "He’s like that guy who’s going into a bar, and he’ll say whatever it’ll take to get laid. Only in this case he’s not trying to (expletive) some girl, he’s trying to (expletive) the country."

    hillary has been sliding down hill for years pollwise. The only reason she is still standing is the corporate globalist's keep propping her up like a clay warrior, however the the old clay statue will not stand up to a sledgehammer.

    I choose not to support a man who has such a negative view against Muslims and immigrants only wanting to provide for their families back at home, to share a bit of a better life to be attained here. I believe in equality for all Americans, that everything and anything is within reach, with Trump, not so much. With Trump, I very well see more freedoms being attainable in the UK, or New Zealand. Canada probably not so much. Not everything Obama has done I've supported, but its been livable, and found a nice median. Nothing Trump has proposed would do that, and do we really want to go back to a party that was associated with the Iraq War, and contributed greatly to the Great Recession? Do we really? While I will admit Bush showed some strength in that classroom the day the towers fell, I doubt Trump would do the same, but I can't support a America that associates itself with a party that associates itself with yesterday, not tomorrow, and is so anxious to go to war.

    There is a reason "progress" is in the word, "progressive." I rather look to the future, over support someone who wants to take America back to the 1980's or further back in time.

    Trump is not going to get any more than 10% of Democrats and will probably get closer to 5%. Obama's approval rating among Democrats is over 80%, and I don't think there's a single Trump supporter anywhere in the country that likes Obama.
