HILLARY CLINTON POLLING FLASH: THE NUMBERS HAVE FLIPPED AGAINST HILLZ >>>> IN IOWA, VIRGINIA & COLORADO
HRC TRAILS BUSH, WALKER AND RUBIO IN LATEST Q-POLL IN THREE KEY STATES
PUNDITS SAY THAT IF TRUMP WEREN'T THE BIGGEST NEWS STORY RIGHT NOW, HILLARY'S BAD NUMBERS WOULD DOMINATE THE CYCLE --- BUT ODDLY --- IN THE SAME POLL, TRUMP IS THE LEAST FAVORED OF ALL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
According to a report in Newsmax, "Three 2016 Republican candidates — Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker — are ahead of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in matchups in the key swing states of Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, a new poll has found.... According to a Quinnipiac poll conducted July 9-20 of registered voters:
In Colorado, Clinton is at 38 percent compared to 46 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio; she's at 36 percent compared to 41 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; and she also gets 38 percent in a matchup with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has 47 percent support.... In Iowa, Clinton has 36 percent compared to 44 percent for Rubio; Clinton has 36 percent compared to 42 percent for Bush; and in a race against Walker, Clinton is at 37 percent compared to 45 percent.... In Virginia, Clinton is at 41 percent in a matchup with Rubio, who has 43 percent; she has 39 percent in a matchup with Bush, who gets 42 percent; and Clinton is at 40 percent compared to 43 percent for Walker.... The results for Clinton compare to an April poll, in which she was ahead in a number of matchups...." ( See "Quinnipiac: Hillary Losing to GOP Rivals in 3 Swing States" by Melanie Batley, 7/22/15, Newsmax [http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/hillary-clinton-walker-bush-rubio/2015/07/22/id/658329/]).
The Newsmax article also points out that "... [m]eanwhile, the poll also found that Trump has negative favorability ratings of almost 2-1 in each state, the worst of any candidate polled, Republican or Democrat: 31-58 percent in Colorado; 32-57 percent in Iowa; and 32-61 percent in Virginia.
TRUMP FACTOR -- LOOKS LIKE HE'S A NEGATIVE OVERALL -- MAYBE !!!
The same Quinnipiac Poll also found that Trump has negative favorability ratings of almost 2-1 in those same states, the worst of any candidate polled, Republican or Democrat: 31-58 percent in Colorado; 32-57 percent in Iowa; and 32-61 percent in Virginia.On the Trump front, The Newsmax folks also threw in this tid-bit: "Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday, NBC Political Director and "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd said troubles in the Clinton campaign are being overshadowed by the popularity of Donald Trump.... 'If it wasn't for Donald Trump, the biggest story of the summer would be Hillary Clinton's problems solidifying herself inside the Democratic Party,' Todd said.... 'Whenever she's been out front as the face of the Democratic Party, her numbers are going down. They always have.'..."
If nothing else, talking about Trump gets in the way of more bad news for Hillary. That's got to be good for Hillary and bad for the GOP as a whole.... Then again, maybe not....

Please tell me again, why is Hillary inevitable? The Quinnipiac Poll shows Bernie Sanders doing equally as well against the Republican candidates as Clinton
Well Gail I guess you only read the headlines. Bernie Sanders is getting bigger crowds than Obama ever got. So why do you ass-u-me Hillary will be nominee? Polls show Hillary loses Iowa and New Hampshire. NY will become the battleground state as it proved in 1988 when Gore folded and Dukakis sealed it, and in 1992 when Bill Clinton finished off Jerry Brown.
The question is does Bernie get to run in NY?
RESPONSE: THE "THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED B4" EDITION
BERNIE SANDERS' >>> NAME <<< WILL PROBABLY BE ALLOWED ON THE NY STATE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY BALLOT
A PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY SELECTS DELEGATES TO A NATIONAL CONVENTION IT DOES NOT DIRECTLY SELECT ANY SPECIFIC CANDIDATE
By the time all this gets real, HRC and her peeps might be desperate enough to try to keep Bernie off the NYS Presidential Primary Ballot. So Democrats on all sides of this, pull up those jock-straps really tight so your balls stay where they belong --- that's especially true of you Democrat women out there using Ben Wa balls.
The last time a Presidential primary in NY elected delegates was in 1976. Since then we vote for candidates in primary. Also, not sure what you mean about by the time this gets real. Are you talking about Sanders getting real? At the rate Sanders is moving Hillary will be in single digits by September.
RESPONSE: THE "NOBODY IS ELECTED IN NY'S PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY" EDITION
CANDIDATES NOT SPECIFIC DELEGATES APPEAR ON THE BALLOT, BUT DELEGATES ARE ALLOCATED AFTER THE RESULTS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY --- NO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IS NAMED --- EVEN "LOSING" CANDIDATES CAN HAVE DELEGATES ALLOCATED
BACKFILL: THE "HILLARY CLINTON'S WAGON IS HITCHED TO OBAMA'S STAR" EDITION
ANALYSIS OF Q-POLL SHOWS CLOSE CORRELATION BETWEEN OBAMA'S JOB APPROVAL AND HILLARY CLINTON'S FAVORABILITY
According to a report in Newsmax, "President Barack Obama's approval ratings are virtually identical to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's favorability ratings in the key swing states of Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, a new poll has found.... According to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted July 9-20, Clinton's unfavorable ratings are 56 percent in Colorado, 56 percent in Iowa, and 50 percent in Virginia. Obama's job disapproval ratings are 56 percent in Colorado, 56 percent in Iowa, and 51 percent in Virginia.... Conventional political wisdom is that a presidential candidate rises and falls along with the president of his/her own party. But the current relationship between Secretary Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama is uncanny.... 'Although the questions of the president's job approval and candidate Clinton's favorability rating are different, the results are almost identical,' said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll, in a statement...."
