Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump’s economic policies are a “recipe” for lower wages, fewer jobs and more debt – warning union members that he could “bankrupt America like he’s bankrupted his companies”. “These polls show that we are not convinced that he would help Trump as VP nor that he would necessarily win the primary for governor against other potential GOP nominees”. Climbing first to within the margin of error in many national polls, Trump has now surpassed Clinton, and today for the first time took the lead (by 0.2 percentage points) in the Real Clear Politics polling average.

“I think it makes sense to legalize marijuana at this particular point”, Sanders, who has indicated his support in the past, told supporters under sun-drenched skies. The Bernie-or-Bust movement is real and seems pretty determined, and a recent YouGov poll found that among Sanders supporters, Clinton is viewed unfavorably by 61 percent – that’s higher than her unfavorable rating with the general public, including Republicans. And finally, I would say that, you know, polls this far out mean nothing.
