Folks this is your chance to call it now. Do you think Hillary will even make it to the end of the democratic primaries?

Her losing trend is starting to accelerate just like anyone could have predicted once Trump had a chance to focus on her.
Also former Cruz supporters etc are able to switch over to vote out hillary now.

She's on a losing trend for sure. The wheels are coming off that campaign.

However it's clear she will be the nominee because the DNC Super Delegates are going to make this so regardless of what the voters are doing.

The election has been unfair to Bernie from day 1 when he won the popular vote in Iowa and they pulled all kinds of tricks to give it to Hillary.

I dont know if she can win another state. She is a flawed candidate.

I would say she is a seriously flawed candidate but it doesn't matter this time in the least because so is Bernie. And when it comes the the general election so is Trump. For the first time since I started voting, and we are talking about over four decades, I have no interest in voting.

When historians try to trace the destruction of "The Great American Experience" in the future, reality TV's role will be a part of that discussion. As will this election, that it gave birth to.

She better make it to the General Election. She's beatable. I can't believe this but I'm actually rooting for her to beat the e-mail rap just because I'd rather have her for Trump's opponent.

Well said ... my interest in voting is no longer there.

The presidential section of the ballot is a relatively small, even tiny, portion of the total; the individual citizen voter has a lot more duty to perform on it.

But you have a point: as a result of various historical developments, weight in the Constitutional balance has long shifted to the presidency, and the advent of television and other mass media has compounded that, turning it into a popularity contest, lately even to the point of demagoguery.

When analyzing the decay, demise, destruction of "The Great American Experiment", all that is certainly part of the discussion, but in my view only as a symptom; the underlying cause is chronic consumption in excess of production on US soil, in spite of a highly efficient, machine-like economic system, and various power groups' willful transgression, to further aggrandize their own power, of territorial integrity and legality, the very definition of a political economic unit.

Did you by any chance wake up from a 5 month coma recently?

What are you talking about? The only way she can lose at this stage is if she gets indicted.

Go back to sleep, brother.

I think the meaning of the poll question, and this whole electoral cycle in general, is people's frustration over the refusal, by the democrats, and the inability, by the republicans, to offer credible candidates, i.e. in the interests of legal US citizens on US soil.

No, that's the meaning of the poll you wish to ascribe. That's not what the original post says.
