  1. A Fox News poll? Fox News? Oh this is delicious.

  2. Unfairdishonestrigged… I have yyhhuuuge fans that will sweep the country with the wild fire of support… just ask roger stone

  3. Wow. Some of the other numbers in the poll are utterly damning for Trump.

    Qualified to be president? Sixty-five percent say Clinton is vs. 43 percent Trump. Fifty-eight percent feel he isn’t qualified, including 45 percent who say “not at all.”

    On temperament, 64 percent say Clinton has it. Just 37 percent say Trump does. And 72 percent think Clinton has the knowledge to serve effectively, while 40 percent say the same for Trump.

  4. Clinton received support from nearly half the people polled by Fox, 49-39.

    Hillary is approaching that magic number of 51. Yessss!!! And it’s FOX Entertainment at that!!! Once she hits 51% and maintains it consistently, it’ll be all she wrote folks.

  5. And so it begins: the GOP’s collapse into political irrelevancy for which they have only themselves to blame for preaching fear, hate and division by race for the past 8 years.
