No, it’s “In like Flynn.” Did you not even bother to read the Wiki article you provided the link to?

A 1% lead for a Democrat among registered voters is equal to a several-point lead for the Republican, if the poll were based on the more accurate “likely” voters.

And the Hill ought to be sophisticated enough to recognize and report this.

“The fact is Democratic enthusiasm has been lagging this year.”

I think most Democrat voters are suffering from eight years of seeing their overblown hopes dashed by a president who turned out to be The Great Mope.

Also, the usual pendulum of the presidency is working against them. It’s rare for one party to hold onto the White House for more than two terms.

Add to that, the fact that they don’t have an inspiring rock star of a candidate to get behind in this election, and it spells Republican landslide.

Frankly, I don’t even think Hillary is running to get into the White House. She’s running to stay out of the Big House.

Did you bother to read my post?

“In like Flynn” preceded “Flint”. I replied to post #8.

“Seems like Trump started to rise once Cruz quit the race.”

Well sure, but Trump was rising long before Ted finally faced reality and quit. In fact, it was really over for Ted after South Carolina. Everything that followed was a kabuki theater.

In the last two weeks there has been a shift from a 13 point lead, to a 9 point lead, to a 2 point lead. She is crashing too soon.

I want to see her set herself on fire slowly.

In my mind, Hillary should have crashed in 1996. It's now 2016.

She's not crashing soon enough for my taste.

Gotta love those poll results. By this time next month, Hillary will be choking on Donald’s dust.

By the time of the Republican convention, she’ll be little more than an afterthought, and the Dem party will be screaming for Lord Obama to take her head.

She’s going to bear the blame for the biggest loss in the history of their party.

Two points is a statistical dead heat. Trump’s supporters, as we know, will drive for hours, wait in traffic, stand in line just to see him.....they’ll be much more likely to get out and vote. Add to that the Bernie factor. A lot of Bernie supporters are dems voting not specifically for Bernie, but for an outsider. A healthy percentage of them will support Trump when they realize hillary and the rest of the uniparty work to defeat anyone they don’t own.

And by the time "The Donald" is able "to mess up beyond all hope", he will have a 12% lead.....

He hasn't really engaged Hillary yet - just putting out feelers and gauging the efficacy before bringing out the big guns.

I don't expect her to be the nominee.

If nothing else, Democrats are ruthless and power-mad.

Once it becomes apparent that she's going to lose, under the bus she goes.

Whoever said it would be 90-10 when Trump got the nod?

You guys really like to invent things!

A virtual tie with the Democrat this early bodes well for a landslide win in Nov.

WilliamIII:

Don’t trust anyone.

Charles Roland Herring, founder of One America Newes, is a chiropractor in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who served from 1988 to 1992 as a Democrat in the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 26 in Alexandria in Rapides Parish in Central Louisiana.
And Doug Kaplan, founder and ownere of Gravis Marketing can be summed up with this:

Neither poll should be trusted.

“The Democrats have a vast vote-creating machine.”

You bet they do. Look at California where the Gov. Moonbeam signed a law that said if you can get a driver;s license you can vote. Or like up here in Seattle where well over a thousand people have the same post office box so they can vote.

Who’s “you guys?” Do you not appreciate purposeful hyperbole?
