Hillary losing ground in new CNN-ORC poll [-3 Clinton 49% Trump 47%]

There is bad news for Hillary Clinton in a new poll released late yesterday by CNN. There is evidence that confidence in her is eroding among Democrats. The question below asked:

Do you think Democrats have a better chance of winning the presidency in 2016 if Hillary Clinton is the party's nominee or do they have a better chance of winning with someone else as the party's nominee?

snip...

If Hillary Clinton were the Democratic Party's candidate and Donald Trump were the Republican Party's candidate, who would you be more likely to vote for --?

Since October, her margin of victory over Trump has shrunk from 5 points to two, well within the poll’s margin of error. Factor in the possible reluctance of people to express support for Trump to a stranger, given the media demonization, Trump may be even leading her.

What should be scary for PIAPS is that this poll is for Democrats. Add in the Republican numbers and that 50% goes to 20 real quick.

It is close and one important thing about elections is how motivated the voters are.

I believe a lot of people are ready for serious change. Hillary won’t provide that. Another thing is that Hillary will need the black base motivated. I don’t see blacks overly motivated for Hillary. In fact, I believe Trump could pick up a lot of their votes.

In the Carter-Reagan episode....the debate changed the whole dynamic of the race in a matter of twenty-four hours. Up until that point, I think most people still gave Carter a chance to win. It’s hard to imagine what would have happened in 1980...had Carter won. Reagan would have gone back to California and called it quits. 1984 would have gone in an entirely different direction.

She can't win, assuming Trump will be the nominee. She's generating absolutely no excitement from younger voters or the voters that Obama got to the polls for him and no one else.

She can beat anyone else because they don't have the PROVEN track record of accomplishing things.

"In the Carter-Reagan episode....the debate changed the whole dynamic "

When Carter mentioned that he talked to his daughter Ammy about something or other, I had the feeling it was over.

Much remains to be seen. But a Trump/Hillary match would be epic!

We could see Trump says something like "I know you Black women are not all that enthralled with me. But, here's the deal. I'm gonna create jobs. I'm going to put your man to work and get him outta the house. Then, he's going to vote for me and you are going to, too."

Matched head-to-head with Republican potential nominees, Hillary has also slipped.

And with Ted Cruz, Hillary has gone from a one point lead to a two point deficit in the same period of a few weeks:

The more people see Hillary, the less they like her.

He could talk about black unemployment — especially young black males. He could say that most of them don’t want entitlements, they want real opportunity. Both parties have failed to deliver.

Young people need to start their careers somewhere. That often means hard work. The experience they gain will help them throughout their careers. So many of the jobs where young people can gain experience are being given to illegals. And the democrats want to give them more of these jobs.

National polls are irrelevant as only electoral college votes elect the President. It will boil down to 9-12 states.

Hillary is all they got.... The Dems have no "B" team and we have two or three "A" teams, "B", "C" and "D" teams! If she blanks out at a real debate or does that laugh instead of answering a national security question, even neutral voters may question her ability. Furthermore, the minority turnout is based on keeping the blacks, etc. roused up. That's a lot of emotion to keep going for 11 straight months.

You make a good point in your helpful advice to Mr. Trump. But that makes the assumption that her man wants to work. It remains to be seen whether that's a majority.
