1. One is a margin I can get behind.

One is not.

2. I love how all of the pollsters are ignoring this.

On BBC and NPR they have just been talking about the Trump rift all day even-though they have mostly all endorsed him, and ignoring our own party's weakness. They are the Emperor's New Press.

3. Far less statistical "noise" in the bottom chart = greater reliability

The direction is clear.

Let's blow out these last primaries and take it to the convention.

Then to Trump and a win.

4. 'General election polls before and during the primary are predictive of absolutely nothing.'

Ignore hypothetical matchups in primary season – they also measure nothing. General election polls before and during the primary season have a very wide margin of error. That’s especially the case for candidates who aren’t even in the race and therefore haven’t been treated to the onslaught of skeptical media coverage usually associated with being the candidate.
