In the latest Reuters polls, Hillary Clinton leads by 10 points against Donald Trump

According to the latest Reuters polls, Hillary Clinton leads by 10 points against Donald Trump with 44.3% voters saying they would vote for her compared to 34.7% saying they would vote for Trump.

Similarly, a CBC poll suggests that Hillary Clinton will get 48.9% votes over Trump's 44.9% votes, if elections were to be conducted now.


But it's the electoral college that matters the most; each state is worth a number of electoral college votes equal to the number of members they have in Congress, meaning that larger states are worth more votes.
The number of electoral college votes needed to win a majority is 270. ABC projection suggests that Clinton would win 332 electoral college votes if the election were held today. Trump would get 206.

The only question is...can we gain control of Congress so real changes can happen?

The American people are hurting and need change.

They are true blue Democrats in that regard! That's another reason I like having HRC as our nominee! She is such an asset in so many and varied ways! And with the looming TanTrump over there. All this together makes for a great year to get Democrats elected up and down the ballot!

Not sure about the house. For that we need strong down ballot races to start retaking state legislatures. Only then will we be able to slowly reverse the gerrymandered maps.

I said it a long time ago. If it's Clinton and Trump he will be toast after the first debate. Count on it.
