Tim Walz Demands Major Change to the Constitution, Says “Electoral College Needs to Go”

Currently, 41% of registered voters say they would vote for Hillary Clinton if the general election were held today, while 37% say they would vote for Donald Trump, 10% say they would vote for Gary Johnson and 4% say they would vote for Jill Stein.

Differences in support across demographic groups are largely consistent with preferences at earlier points in this cycle.

There continues to be a sizable gender gap in vote preferences: Women favor Clinton over Trump by 19 percentage points (49% to 30%), while men back Trump by a 12-point margin (45% to 33%).



Keep buying into polls, it amuses everybody

@GuiltyBiStander I learned a long time ago, in a college statistics class, that "figures don't lie....but liars figure", to quote Abe Lincoln

@GuiltyBiStander From this letter, published in The Daily Patriot (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) of Saturday 17th August 1872:

CLEARFIELD COUNTY.
A United Democracy—Radical Lie Nailed—Prominent Liberals.

Correspondence of the Patriot.]

Clearfield, Pa., August 15, 1872.—Editors Patriot—Sirs: I have noticed in several of the Grant organs that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction among the democracy in this county by reason of the action of the Baltimore convention in endorsing Greeley. I write to assure our friends in other parts of the state that this report is another lie Granted unto us by these organs. The democracy of this county are too wide awake and too well organized not to act in concert with the wishes of their party expressed in a national convention. They are far-seeing enough to clearly discern that the support and endorsement of the ticket nominated at Baltimore is the only way to overthrow Grantism and the corrupt ring which rules our state government and maintain intact the organization of the party for future victories. Not only such leading and active democrats as Senator Wallace, Ex-Governor Bigler, Hon. G. R. Barrett, Hon. John Lawshe, Hon. T. J. Boyer, Hon. T. J. M’Cullough, G. B. Goodlander, Dr. R. V. Wilson, Israel Zeet, J. Blackwaters, and William M. M’Cullough, but the rank and file will cheerfully put their shoulders to the wheel and push along the “chariot of victory” recently started in North Carolina (for we claim and have the majority in that state notwithstanding their frauds and negro colonization—figures won’t lie, but liars will figure—and they are busy at it). As leading liberal republicans we have Hon. Alex. Irvine, S. B. Rowe, John M. Chase, William M’Bride, Captain Welch and a host of others who will make a stand up fight for the reform ticket. Clearfield will give Buckalew at least 1,600 majority in October, and for Greeley in November, oh! God count the “leaves in Valambrosa’s vale.”
Democrat.
