Clinton vs. Trump: Still A Dead Heat
22% would pick another person and 5% are undecided
Clinton vs. Trump: Still A Dead Heat
Monday, December 28, 2015Presidential front-runners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump remain all tied up in a hypothetical match-up heading into 2016.If the 2016 presidential election was held today, 37% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for Clinton, while 36% would vote for Trump.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that a sizable 22% would choose some other candidate, while five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)These findings are nearly identical to those measured in October when Trump picked up 38% support to Clinton’s 36%.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Re: Clinton vs. Trump: Still A Dead Heat
Actually the polls I've seen have Trump performing worse against Clinton that the other GOP candidates fare.
But, it won't be a cakewalk.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Clinton vs. Trump: Still A Dead Heat
Jeez . . . Is anybody else just as desensitized to these stupid political polls as I am? They're about as accurate and useful as politicians telling me "what the American people want". Aside from the fact that we're still a little more than 10 months away from the 2016 elections (does it seem like this campaign has been going on for 3 years already?), and every day there's a half dozen new polls telling us who is ahead in some state or nationally based on the biased polling criteria of some quasi-political organization, are people really interested in this BS? The only people that seem excited about the results of the newest polling data are pundits and 'news'casters.
Maybe we should think about limiting the scope and scale of elections . . . Especially the timeframe and money spent by candidates, parties, and PACs.
But then, what would people like The Donald do in between TV shows, beauty pageants, golf tournaments, and managing his HUUUGE business empire?

Pollsters gotta poll.
It's what they do.

Entertainers gotta put on a show.
It's what they do.
Too bad this is an election and not a GEICO commercial.
Big difference.
