Hillary Clinton Has Slight Lead Over Donald Trump in New Poll

The State Department Inspector General’s recent report on Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State made it abundantly clear that she broke rules and has been far from forthright in her public statements. Women go for Clinton over Trump, 54 to 30 percent.

“The results suggest that Republicans and Democrats are ready to line up behind their likely standard-bearers, with 86 percent of Republicans supporting Mr. Trump and 90 percent of Democrats backing Mrs. Clinton, who is still working to defeat her opponent in the primaries, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont”. Many will be doled out based on the outcome in 53 congressional districts, each amounting to its own battleground, like the 28th, an ethnically diverse, Democrat-rich territory running from the tony Hollywood Hills into the suburban sprawl of Burbank, a Los Angeles suburb.

The latest Garden State rally comes two weeks after she appeared in Camden County, where she assailed presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump for campaigning on a “reckless” and “dangerous” agenda. Across six national, live-interviewer telephone polls conducted between the start of the year and mid-February, Clinton led Trump by just 2 points on average, and a tight race between the two was more common than a big Clinton lead in polling from early fall of last year through this spring. Five other states also vote next Tuesday, including New Jersey, which could also turn the tide for Clinton. The poll of Democrats included 678 voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 points. Clinton receives 40 percent, with Trump at 38 percent.

In a general election match-up, Sanders leads Trump 48 to 39 percent. “She will make the affirmative case for the exceptional role America has played and must continue to play in order to keep our country safe and our economy growing”. He said that his job was now to convince them of his electability against Donald Trump.

California is clearly trending to Sanders, data from mid-May show that there were almost 1.5 million newly registered Democratic voters in California since 1 January.

According to Dolan, Clinton isn’t likely to be successful trying to engage Trump in a policy-oriented campaign.

Schoen, in an editorial in The Wall Street Journal, said that a Bernie Sanders win in California could blunt Clinton’s path to the nomination – even if she captures the required number of delegates to hit the majority (she’s now less than 80 away when super delegates are included, according to the Associated Press).
