    Seriously Hillary's best supporter is Donald Trump. No one else can make Hillary look this good.

    38% in PA, 32% in MI, 32% in NH. It's worth noting that in three battleground states where Trump needs to at least be competitive (or in the case of PA, win), his polling is starting to settle around his ceiling from the Primaries.

    And it looks like he's dragging down Ayotte in NH and Toomey in PA.

    Straight ticket Democratic voting for the clean sweep.

    Take back the Senate and House.

    Pass the word.

    I doubt the margin stays that pronounced. Eventually Trump will get bored with attacking the parents of a dead soldier.

    Latest polls...

    • Clinton extends leads in almost every national poll. Trump is further back than Romney ever was in the last 150 days of the campaign. She leads with non-whites, women, college-educated, and blacks (91-1). She is even gaining with whites and men.
    • Clinton extends leads in almost all states polls, including key battleground states. Clinton now leads in Nevada, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, and Florida
    • Clinton now leads in Georgia. Georgia. hasn't voted for a Democratic candidate in nearly a quarter century.

    If Hillary wins Georgia, this will be a total bloody massacre, GOP could even lose the house.

    What makes you think the GOP will lose the House? This is against Trump, not Republicans. The RNC and DNC are against Trump.

    How many voters split their tickets in 2012? 20%?

    The Democrats were always going to flip 10-15 congressional seats. If Trump loses the popular vote by 10+ points and if his very presence on the ballot suppresses Republican turnout, 25-30 isn't an insane thing to think about.

    This scenarios is obviously unlikely, and would require a blowout of nearly historic proportions. At his current trajectory though, Trump is well on his way to achieving that.

    Bill carried Georgia in 1996, during the election for his second term.

    Actually the parties are clearly marked on the ballots, and (REPUBLICAN) will be clearly printed above DONALD J. TRUMP.

    Why would people trust Republicans when Republicans chose Trump as the best leader for our country?
