Can the man run a more incompetent campaign than this one? I would never advocate complacency from our side but its stunning how badly his campaign has performed and its mostly on him.

1. He hasn't a clue about his campaign

It seems that Donald Trump careens from day to day without any over-all strategy. There's a complete lack of focus in the manner that he bounces around so his campaign is utterly without cohesion or continuity.

Josh Marshall at TPM wrote about how Donald Trump isn't even really campaigning:

2. Good article

He can't even be bothered to make a few phone calls? Its shocking. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but there are times I wonder if he really wants this job at all.

3. Experienced Republican campaign workers won't work with him

because it would ruin their careers to be associated with someone who definitely going to lose very badly

Our party supports Hillary. The GOP doesn't support Trump. That will make a big difference.

4. One of the few out recently

that doesn't have him losing by double digits?

5. The poll was from May 10th

So before his big tanking.

It's Q8 - a choice of Hillary and Trump with nothing else. Q9, which gives an 'other', is Hillary 50%, Trump 45%, Other 5%.

But I seem to remember Gravis was a fairly unreliable presidential poll in 2012, overstating Romney's vote. That 45% is teh best he's had since May 29th.
