Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are poised to lead the nation's two major parties in this fall's presidential election, with a new nationwide CNN/ORC poll finding each well ahead of their closest competitors just as the race expands to a national stage. Trump has expanded his lead over the diminished field to capture the support of nearly half of Republican voters, while Clinton tops Sanders by nearly 20 points. On the Republican side, the new survey finds Trump's lead is dominant, and his support tops that of his four remaining opponents combined. The businessman tops his nearest competitor by more than 30 points: 49% back Trump, 16% Marco Rubio, 15% Ted Cruz, 10% Ben Carson and 6% John Kasich.

These statistics didn't exist at the beginning of the campaign.
Which tells us that support during political campaigns shifts. It shifts quite a lot when there are a dozen or more people running for the same position. And when people start to drop out, it shifts again. It may shift again before the Republican convention. And after the convention, when we know who the nominees are, and who their running mates are, we shall likely still see shifting among likely voters.

Don't tell dexter75 this, he still believes Trump is peaking at 35%!
...and new polls today have Hillary easily beating Trump in MI, another important state this year. Doesn't matter, even if Trump wins the GOP nomination (which he wont) he will get buried in the general.

whether anyone wants to believe this or not; these figures still depend on who is doing the poll and whether it is an internet poll or a random phone poll. No one is naïve enough not to realize short of a brokers convention Trump is looking pretty unbeatable, but the fact still remains, the majority of true Republicans can not stand the guy. And about as many don't believe he will accomplish even 25% of what he says he will.

I'm personally not a fan of polls (still don't understand why people love them so much, their purpose and how wrong they could be), and looking this far out at the general election is ridiculous, so much can happen and will over the next 8 months. And how many politicians even accomplish 10 or 15% of what they say they will before getting elected, let alone 25%. It's all about promising the moon right now (they all do it), then blaming someone or something else after they win and can't do what they promised, it happens every year in every election, big and small, the only difference is that the presidential election has a bigger magnifying glass than your local Podunk election.

Easily? She is up 5 with a MOE of 4 in a state that should be an easy win.
