Reuters interviews 1201 respondents. 626 Democrats (52% of total) 423 Republicans (35% of total) 122 independents 30 other party.
That’s nearly 33 percent more Democrats than Republicans.
In reality Gallup reported in March that 46 percent of Americans are Democrats, and 40 percent are Republicans. Reuters freighted their poll with 20 percent more Democrats than Republicans.
Since the Reuters poll sampled more Democrats than all the others combined, we can safely say that Trump appears to be in much better shape than the poll suggests and could likely be headed to a landslide victory in November.

Excellent. I’d love to see the media lose all credibility this cycle.
I’d vote for a bowel movement from King Kong before I’d vote for Hillary and I am an average voter
No surprise to anyone on FR, but it’s nice to hear anyway.
They already have, the problem is that there isn’t a replacement, so they toil on.
Did the same thing in 1980 until a few days before the election
So they oversampled Democrats, undersampled Republicans and included a ridiculously small number of Independents.
No wonder Hillary is ahead by 13+ points. I wonder if they believe their own poll at Reuters.
If we use the Gallup split and rejigger things, Hillary is slightly ahead or tied with Trump.
Not what they wanted - they wanted to push an agenda.
Hillary may well win but it won’t be by a landslide as Reuters suggests.
Example:
Brexit
Polls showed Remain 52 Leave 48
Vote showed Remain 48 Leave 52
The polls had shorted the leave by 4%
Part of this is not only who was polled but where they lived in the UK. In this election cycle it is not enough to have “X” number of Demonrats and “Y” number of Republicans. They need to look at the totals State by state. If all your Demonrats are in NYC and busy living it up on welfare they may like PIAPS. If they are 45 year-old guys living in the Mid-West who used to work Carrier I sincerely doubt they’ll vote for an open borders candidate
Remember all the skewed polls from 2012.
Obama won by 4%. On both of his tries.
Hillary could be a plurality President if she wins.
She’s nowhere near that popular.
Get ready for an unprecedented mass of LIES from the MSM, et al. It will probably outdo 1980 in a big way.
It’s Ipsos
They’ll keep churning out junk polls until October.
Then they’ll begin to get accurate because their prestige is on the line.
Even then, given what happened in the UK, all bets are off.
I heard the Internet and smartphone/mobile polls were accurate, though, giving a 1-2% margin for Leave. Very interesting.
People lie to pollsters and give them the politically correct and safe answer.
If its a controversial issue/politician - people will tell pollsters what they want to hear.
And in the voting booth, they vote the other way and give them the middle finger.
THE MEDIA CAN NOT BE BELIEVED OR TRUSTED..
ENOUGH SAID...
VOTE TRUMP, CLEAN UP WASHINGTON..THEY ALL FEAR HIM..I LOVE IT.
All these media polls are bogus; consider the Liberal sources. Baghdad Bob could do better.
“Reuters interviews 1201 respondents. 626 Democrats (52% of total) 423 Republicans (35% of total) 122 independents 30 other party. “
The 2012 election was 38, 32, 29.
If they call me, I tell them I plan to vote for Hillary.
Just to drive them crazy.
There were a few last minute accurate telephone surveys and Leave was way ahead before the Cox shooting so traditional polls may get the general trend but at least in this case online also got the spread correct.
