Polls Looking Good For Clinton, But --


For all this to approach reality, you have to get turnout, so don't take anything for granted.  Vote!

CNBC
With only a dozen days to go before the election, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has ratcheted up her lead over Republican nominee Donald Trump to 9 points, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey, nearly doubling her advantage from the last poll.
AP-GfK
A new Associated Press-GfK poll released Wednesday finds the Democratic nominee has grabbed a number of significant advantages over her Republican rival with just 12 days left before Election Day. [snip]
Overall, the poll shows Clinton leading Trump nationally by a staggering 14 percentage points among likely voters, 51-37. While that is one of her largest margins among recent national surveys, most show the former secretary of state with a substantial national lead over the billionaire businessman. [Ed. note: "billionaire businessman" - snicker]
USA Today/ Suffolk
As the most caustic campaign in modern American history nears its close, Hillary Clinton has built a formidable lead over Donald Trump approaching 10 percentage points, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds. 
You can find other polls with a smaller margin (more in the 4 - 7 point range), that would still have Secretary Clinton drubbing neo- fascist loser Donald "Rump" Trump in 2008 or 2012 terms.  But, as we note in the post below, getting an 8 percent margin of victory would increase the chances of flipping not only the Senate, but the House.  We all need to do whatever we can to get as close to this margin (if not over it) as possible because, as President Obama has said, "Democracy is on the ballot."
