Emerson College Poll Reveals...Clinton Far Ahead in Dem Race

Source: Emerson College

A new statewide Connecticut poll reveals Donald Trump holding a significant lead over his Republican opponents with 25% of the vote, followed by Marco Rubio at 14% and John Kasich and Jeb Bush tied at 10%. Ben Carson rounded out the top five at 9%. Trump has an overall favorability of 40%, but that number increases to 55% among likely GOP primary voters. Asked about the press scrutiny of Ben Carson, 61% of voters overall said it was fair. As expected, party affiliation drove opinion with only 40% of GOP primary voters saying it was fair, compared with 72% of Democrat primary voters.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton holds a commanding lead in the primary race, with 50% of the vote, followed by Bernie Sanders at 31% and Martin O’Malley at 9%. There is a wide gender gap among women, with Clinton beating Sanders 55% to 24%. Among male voters,
Clinton and Sanders are tied at 41%. Clinton has an overall 39% favorable rating, but among Republican primary voters this drops to 8%; among Democratic voters she has a 71% favorable rating.

So that you can praise my foresight.


Or you can cut to the chase and recognize the overwhelmingly likely reality that Sanders will not be on the general ballot. No clairvoyance needed--just open eyes and a willingness to see.

12. Fortunately, I doubt that will be the case here.

Are you able to admit your error when shown to be wrong? Some people lack that capacity.
