Of course, NBC is trying to prop up the staggering HRC campaign with a dose of optimism for her here. The major flaws in a comparison between the 2012 vote and the situation now are (1) the GOP candidate has yet to emerge and that Rubio and Walker likely can’t even be identified by the vast majority of a dumbed down general electorate and (2) in so far as all these types of locations (especially big cities) are concerned, Clinton can’t hope to get anywhere near the same black turnout as Obama did in 2012. Furthermore it’s presumptuous to anoint Bush, Rubio, and Walker as the three big GOP contenders at this stage. In sum, these numbers are pretty darn worthless.
With the election 16 months away, key polling data isn't worth a bucket of warm "spit". If the bitch is polling well with 1 month to go, then I'll worry.
