Sep 6, 2016 Updated 6:38 AM ET, Tue September 6, 2016 Poll: Nine weeks out, a near even race Washington (CNN)Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton start the race to November 8 on essentially even ground, with Trump edging Clinton by a scant two points among likely voters, and the contest sparking sharp divisions along demographic lines in a new CNN/ORC Poll. Trump tops Clinton 45% to 43% in the new survey, with Libertarian Gary Johnson standing at 7% among likely voters in this poll and the Green Party's Jill Stein at just 2%. Women break for Clinton (53% to 38%) while men shift Trump's way (54% to 32%). Among women, those who are unmarried make up the core of her support, 73% of unmarried women back Clinton compared with just 36% of married women. Among men, no such marriage gap emerges, as both unmarried and married men favor Trump. Younger voters are in Clinton's corner (54% to 29% among those under age 45) while the older ones are more apt to back Trump (54% to 39% among those age 45 or older). Whites mostly support Trump (55% to 34%), while non-whites favor Clinton by a nearly 4-to-1 margin (71% to 18%). Most college grads back Clinton while those without degrees mostly support Trump, and that divide deepens among white voters. Whites who do not hold college degrees support Trump by an almost 3-to-1 margin (68% to 24%) while whites who do have college degrees split 49% for Clinton to 36% for Trump and 11% for Johnson. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/06/_poli...n-presidential-polls-election-2016/index.html
Sep 6, 2016 I need to request election day off at work, this s---'s gonna be real interesting this year.
Sep 7, 2016 I said that polls didn't matter when Hillary was up, so I feel obligated to also say that these don't matter, either.
Sep 7, 2016 RCP map looks like this: 229 Clinton, 154 Trump in the "likely category". In the battleground states, Clinton is leading in Florida (3%), Ohio (3%), Penn (7%), Virginia (5%), Wisconsin (5%), Nevada (2%), and North Carolina (1%). Trump is leading in Iowa (1%), Georiga (2%), Missouri (3%), and Arizona (3%). Do you guys know what that means?
Sep 7, 2016 Uhhh this is one poll. This doesn't mean as much as you think it does lol. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=mobilebar&v=1 Willing to bet trump's poll numbers go down again after the first debate.
Sep 8, 2016 It was pretty crushing to me to find out Gary Johnson doesn't know what/where Aleppo is... It was like when I was 11 and figured out I was smarter than my parents. Not only is Hillary the only candidate who ran this year who is truly qualified... she has to be the only one that really wants the job.
Sep 12, 2016 well yeah you can't make the argument that she isn't supremely qualified, she has all the experience that you would need to be president. There are other problems with Hillary as a candidate but you can't really deny her resume.
Sep 13, 2016 What are you talking about? I basically supported what you said about her qualifications to be a president.
