These type of polls now are as useless as teets on a boar hog.

Most people don't even know who is running for POTUS at this time other the the TV commercials that interrupts the show they are viewing.

I think you're right to an extent, but those are huge numbers in a state that Trump thinks he could swing. Especially when Calgary Ted puts up a much better fight (48-41).

Well it is Michigan, unlikely any republican would come close to winning it in the general.

It leans blue but those are the kind of numbers you would see in Massachusetts or New Jersey, not a state that usually goes blue by single digits. And Trump often talks about his crossover appeal with blue collar voters, and Michigan is full of them.

I would say R and O created about the same number of jobs in the private sector, few to none. The number of jobs one creates in private sector does not make one a better president.

No but when comparing accomplishments in helping people it damn sure is a factor. And that was the original point.

You should have used another president. W did create jobs in the private sector but he was a terrible president, worse than O imo.

If you rank private sector job creation as high criteria for a president. You should be a huge Trump supporter. He has created more private sector jobs than all previous presidents combined.

Yet his trade war will increase the cost of living and kill jobs

Sanders says he is staying in till the convention...watch your back old guy! He will probably win 3/4 states this weekend...its the size of the states he won and the super delegates that doomed him

Very interesting, and doesn't really surprise me in the least. Both Bill and Hillary seem to think they're above the law and have shown that to be the case on multiple occasions.

Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin told the New York Times that the former president was allowed inside polling places but also noted that he had taken the step of reminding poll workers in New Bedford about the law.
"We just took the extra precaution of telling them because this is not a usual occurrence. You don't usually get a president doing this," he said.

Just going out on a limb here, but maybe it's because other Presidents knew it was against the law and didn't want to be in violation of said law.

Yeah, but is Granny still on the Rubio train?

No. He has pissed her off during the last few debates. She is undecided st the moment.

Rubio freezing when Christie was drilling him, cost him any chance he had at the nomination in my opinion. His numbers have been sliding since then. He has been acting like a desperate man grabbing at straws.

I think he recovered nicely from the New Hampshire debate in South Carolina. And made some progress from there. His greatest moment was in Houston IMO when he cornered Trump. But once the personal attacks happened, that's when he started sliding. I agree with Granny that shouldn't have been his style as he should have stuck to substance since it was working.

Difference in opinion on when he started his slide and I think most people saw Christie for what he was in the aftermath of that debate. A suicide bomber in the face of Rubio.

If Rubio has stayed with substance he may be in 2nd place now.

I agree about Christie. I did not the night of the debate. You said that night someone had made a deal with Chris to attack Rubio. I was wrong, you were right.
