It is the gap between the two that surprised me…
This is great news amidst all of the crap going on in the world! There may be hope after all from what these numbers show!
Polls show Donald Trump in the lead by a whopping 13%! Take that Clinton, no one likes you go home, or to jail, that works too.
Only days before the Republican Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, a new national poll shows Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump with his largest lead to date over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
The latest Rasmussen Reports poll shows Trump leading Clinton 44 percent to 37 percent, with 13 percent supporting another candidate and only 6 percent undecided. The survey marks the third week in a row that the Rasmussen poll has shown Trump in the lead. Since last week’s poll, Trump’s standing improved by two percentage points while Clinton’s fell by three points.
The poll showed that although Clinton has touted her governmental experience as a key part of her campaign, voters rated Trump and Clinton about the same in terms of their level of preparedness to handle the job of president.
The poll also found that:
80 percent of Republicans and 13 percent of Democrats support Trump; Clinton has the backing of 72 percent of Democrats and 5 percent of Republicans.
Trump has a 13-point lead over Clinton among unaffiliated voters.
Trump leads Clinton by 17 points among white voters.
In the gender battle, Trump leads by 21 points among men; Clinton by only 8 points among women.
Trump leads among voters over 40, although among younger voters Trump and Clinton are tied.
Trump leads in all income groups except respondents who said they earn less than $30,000 a year.
The poll has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
Will these numbers hold? We have a long way to go!
