Hillary Clinton maintained a comfortable lead over Donald Trump in the NBC/Survey Monkey national tracking poll released Tuesday morning, leading Trump by eight points, 51-43, in a head-to-head matchup among likely voters.
This shows a slight bump for Clinton after she led Trump by seven points, 51-44, in a head-to-head matchup in last week’s NBC/Survey Monkey tracking poll.
When third party candidates are added to the question, Clinton leads Trump by six points, 46-40, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at eight points and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at four points. In last week’s poll, Clinton led Trump by five points, 46-41, in a four-way race.
TPM’s PollTracker Average shows Clinton leading Trump nationally, 48.7-41.2.
NBC/Survey Monkey surveyed 24,804 likely voters online Oc.t 10-16 with a margin of error plus or minus one percentage point.
Sweet!
With three weeks left Hillary needs to expand the fight to insure a bunch of Senate candidates win and to put the house in play. She needs to give the Republicans an electorial defeat they will remember for generations to come. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan need to rue the day they decided to hurt American just to make sure Obama didn’t win a “victory.”
Wonderful trend, but complacency is our collective enemy.
Get out and vote, and make sure you bring all your dead relatives with you.
Tomorrow night’s debate looms large in the Senate races.
If Trump comes out shouting his lunatic assertions that the entire thing is “rigged by the International Jewish Bankers” and “THOSE INNER-CITY PEOPLE” (Blacks and Hispanics) will be “cheating” to “steal the election” (as it appears he will) it will suck the Republican Senatorial hopes down into the swirling toilet with him.
There won’t be enough room in the lifeboats for the Republicans to jump ship to get away from him with only 3 weeks to go. If he DOESN"T come out and spit fire and brimstone, his own supporters will be furious with him. He has no choice but to triple-down on the crazy, and there is no way out for the Republican Senators in tight races.
Clinton needs to be calm, cool, and presidential in the face of a raging, racist, lunatic hurling obscene insults to her face (and a hostile crowd since it is sponsored by FOX News) and that won’t be easy, but I think she will pull it off.
Better men than Trump have tried to knock her off course and have failed.
48 hours. That is all the Republicans have left before The Orange Buffoon totally implodes and sucks them all into the void with him.
We need to keep our foot on the gas and GOTV to ensure a massive defeat for not only The Orange Shitgibbon, but for all the cowardly Republicans who let him become their leader AND the feckless MSM who sat back and cynically worked to make money off of one of the most dangerous men to ever run for President.
And, you can trust the Monkey, they always survey well ; )
