Hillary Clinton's Poll Numbers Look Nearly UnbeatableKEVIN DRUM JUL. 7, 2016
Pew has another of its surveys out, this time a fairly generic presidential poll. They do this in June every four years, and they have a pretty good track record. Without further ado, here are the topline results:

Hillary Clinton is 9 points ahead of Donald Trump regardless of whether Gary Johnson is in the race. A subsequent question makes clear there's very little wiggle room here: among voters who support a candidate, nearly all of them say their choice is firm. Bottom line: there are very few undecided voterswho will probably break pretty evenly anywayand everyone else says their minds are solidly made up.

i really dislike these poll stories that predict November in July.
Too much can happen between now and then for it to matter.
Life has a way of pulling out the rug from under each of us at different times in our lives.

That's what we need to do. Trump will be imploding more and more so we need to be sure the voters turn up and don't think it's not needed to bother to vote because she is so far ahead!
