New NBC/WSJ Poll: Clinton Up +5

[writes3000]

And she's up +6 in a four way race...

On the eve of the GOP convention, Hillary Clinton maintains a five-point national lead over Donald Trump even after a period of negative news for the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Clinton leads the presumptive GOP nominee 46 percent to 41 percent in a poll that finds both candidates facing sizable disadvantages and challenges ahead of the party conventions which kick off Monday for the GOP in Cleveland and a week later for Democrats in Philadelphia.

Those numbers are unchanged from one month ago with the poll conducted after FBI Director James Comey strongly rebuked Clinton over her email practices even though he determined that she had not committed a crime. The poll was also conducted before Trump selected Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice-presidential running mate.

1. And in New ABC Poll - Clinton +4. Among Likely Voters, Clinton +7.

2. NBC, ABC, and CNN

Up 5, up 7, and up 7. What are the chances that all 3 of these networks ignore their own polls and go with one that shows it really close? Pretty certain.

4. They are definitely doing this.

Today John King kept saying it's "neck and neck" between the two. When one of his pundits contradicted this lie, King stated well SOME states have her ahead, but in the rust belt, whatever that means to him, they're (team Clinton) nervous.

6. RCP

And look for the RCP average to find a reason not to include these polls. And if they do include the ABC poll they'll go with the general poll that shows it closer than the 7 point margin among likely voters.

3. The Media: "The Apocalypse is nigh for the Clinton Campaign"...

Ok, maybe not to that extent, but you know they're ramping up to it.

5. This is done intentionally to bring down her numbers, and prop up Trump.

7. Once again Trump stuck at 40-41
