re: #307 thecommodore

Here’s a link to the chart. I customized it by removing Rasmussen, which has usually been a pro-GOP outlier over the past several years. But even with that, even though Hillary still leads, Trump has been trending upward.

Yes, the election is six months away, and it’s too early, blah blah blah, but the fact that this race is now competitive when Hillary should be flirting with a landslide victory concerns me.

The Republicans would vote for a tree struck by lightning if it had an R next to its name. Our country is very polarized. All of the Democrats that would have voted Republican 35 years ago are Republicans now. All of the Republicans that would have voted for Democrats 35 years ago watch Fox news and believe unemployment has gone up over the last eight years.

And a landslide still isn’t measured in popular vote, it’s measured in electoral college.

Don’t get that worried. I don’t even think Obama’s margins in 2008 were this large right now, though don’t quote me on that. Plus, and it’s similar to Obama, Clinton is going to lose a few percent because she’s a woman.
