US election poll: Should Clinton be worried by Trump's lead?
The Week UK ^ | September 7, 2016

Donald Trump has overtaken Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, according to a new poll – but is this a canary in the coalmine or a skewed survey?

The Republican leads by 45 per cent to 43 per cent in a national CNN/ORC survey published on Tuesday. It shows the two candidates provoke large gaps by gender, age, race and education.

"The topsy-turvy campaign for the president has seen both Clinton and Trump holding a significant lead at some point in the last two months, though Clinton has topped Trump more often than not," says CNN.

So is this latest boost for Trump the result of his "minority outreach", which has seen him praise Mexican-Americans and speak warmly to the African-American community in recent days, asks CNBC's Jake Novak....

She shouldn’t be worried because she never had a chance of winning.

illary Clinton should be worried about being more than 10 feet from her doctor and the DNR override Bill put out for her.

No. Donald Trump will make a fine president. There is no need to worry.

Considering all they have thrown at him? Yeah... she should worry.

I live in liberal Seattle where a Bernie supporter is a dime a dozen. I still see lot’s of Bernie bumper stickers along with Obama/Biden. I have only seen maybe 3 Hillary stickers anywhere. Cars around here are vandalized with Trump stickers so one won’t see any. I honestly think Trump might win this. There are a lot of covert Trump supporters around, too scared to say what they think.

He’s finally far enough ahead to even beat the worst rigged polls.

Absolutely not. Hillary’s win is inevitable. Why, I saw a poll the other day that said she was up 104% to Trump’s -5%. And you know the MSM would never lie about that sort of thing.

I am concerned these polls are not including the illegal migrants in California, and the rush in the administration to get all of the newly imported immigrants a right to vote. They will be voting for HIllary.

A 2% lead with 2 months to go? Heck, I’m sure the Hildebeast and the DNC can come up with 3%-5% “extra” votes in 2 seconds! Just ask Bernie Sanders and his minions.

I live in a Seattle burb. Went to the Trump rally in Everett last week and the attendance was YUGE! Met people from various areas around Seattle and also from other parts of the state. I don’t want to get my hopes up that Trump can win WA State (I’m sure he’ll win all counties east of the Cascade mountains) as we always seem to have to worry about the I-5 corridor and especially King County with the large population as well as vote counting (remember Fraudoire/Rossi).

I haven’t seen any signs around here or around my sister’s neighborhood in Renton. I’ve noticed a few Bernie bumper stickers but haven’t seen much support for Hillary. I haven’t put a Trump bumper sticker on my car, but may do what I did previously, put it in the rear window then take it down when I park. I’m going to the Seahawks game on Sunday and thought about wearing my MAGA hat, but decided not to do so, among other reasons it is 9/11 so want to honor that day.

If Obambi is “all wee weed up” does the mean that Hillary is “all pooped out”
