both parties are not unified for 1 candidate now so polls will change after the conventions and the economy and news of the moment.

These are from which source?

Well which is it Dex?Nothing can change in 8 months or her lead will probably grow by summer??

You are always taking multiple,conflicting positions from thread to thread,post to post,sometimes taking two diametricly opposed positions within the same thread.I'm sure you've followed enough polls in your life to know that they nearly always do change over 4/6/8/10/18 months.If you really aren't aware of this fact a simple google search will prove it,but since you obviously know how to work a computer I suspect you are merely being disingenuous,although your motivation eludes me.

Do you really think ANYONE is going to discard ANY candidate because they are 5 points behind another in a race 8 months away?

5 points? Look at the polls. Hillary beats Trump by double digits in most of them. Cruz and Rubio beat her.

dexter if people listen to you in 1980, they would dump Reagan in the primary:


1980 January: Carter beats Reagan 29%
1980 March: Carter beats Reagan by 25%
1980: June: Carter beats Reagan by 7%

Final results: Reagan beats Carter by 10%



if people listen to your silly argument, dukakis would have been President.......Bill Clinton would never have won......Kerry and Mccain would have been Presidents.


your argument is weak at best..... 9 months to go to the General and a 8 point lead in 1 poll is NOTHING!
