Poll Has Clinton With 12-Point Lead


A little over two weeks before the election, a new ABC News 2016 tracking poll just released this morning shows likely voters preferring Secretary Hillary Clinton over narcissistic sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump by a 50 to 38 margin. The poll indicates that voters are increasingly turned off (69 - 24) by Rump's sexual misconduct as alleged by 14 women (so far) and his response (he says he'll sue them). Voters also reject (59%) Rump's claim that the election will be rigged, and reject (65%) his petulant refusal to accept the outcome of the vote on November 8. The 12-point spread is the most that Clinton has led by, and suggests Rump's support is eroding over time. Clinton has gained 4 points since October 13. (If the 12 point spread holds through Election Day, historically a margin of that size would mean not only the Senate, but the House of Representatives would flip.)

Again, with the usual caveats that time still remains for the polls to tighten, this is bad news for Rump, and will almost certainly send him into a paranoid tailspin where he lashes out and goes off script to settle scores before an almost certain defeat.

BONUS:  Even Karl "Romney Wins Ohio!" Rove is saying Rump is toast. When you've even lost Turdblossom...
