Hillary Clinton has vaulted to a double-digit advantage in the inaugural ABC News 2016 election tracking poll, boosted by broad disapproval of Donald Trump on two controversial issues: His treatment of women and his reluctance to endorse the election’s legitimacy.

Likely voters by a vast 69-24 percent disapprove of Trump’s response to questions about his treatment of women. After a series of allegations of past sexual misconduct, the poll finds that some women who’d initially given him the benefit of the doubt have since moved away.

Fifty-nine percent of likely voters, moreover, reject Trump’s suggestion that the election is rigged in Clinton’s favor, and more, 65 percent, disapprove of his refusal to say whether he’d accept a Clinton victory as legitimate. Most strongly disapprove, a relatively rare result.

All told, Clinton leads Trump by 12 percentage points among likely voters, 50 to 38 percent, in the national survey, her highest support and his lowest to date in ABC News and ABC News/Washington Post polls. Gary Johnson has 5 percent support, Jill Stein 2 percent.

 

[……forgetit]

I will still vote and yell as if he was leading in the polls. Not gonna risk it

 

[valkillmore]

Don't believe it. Assume she is behind. VOTE!

[Speevy]

ABC News rigging the election, sad.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Texas will be flipped if that is the case.

Still can't see the final count being as high as some of these polls say it will.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

One poll, and it's on the high end of the most recent polls, but yeah. This has basically been over for a while now.

 

[j_k_redtail]

Not enough. I want fifteen.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Single poll thread.

[Grover Cleveland]

But that one Reuters poll tho...

In general single polls aren't particularly useful.

 

[Morts]

I'm still scared for Ohio.

 

[TAJ]

This is just a conspiracy to get good people to stay home. Crooked Hillary actually has zero support, believe me.

 

[Stinkles]

It is not enough that she wins. The Republicans have to realize that racism and hatred are dead ends demographically since they refuse to accept the morality.

It has to be a catastrophe. The end of the lowest common denominator.

 

[shira]

Don't believe it. Assume she is behind. VOTE!

There are so many people not voting or voting for 3rd parties this time around.

trying to "send a message" or whatever, things could get interesting

 

[Henkka]

The GOP could've had this. They just went and nominated the only candidate who's more disliked than Clinton.

And even then, Trump could've had it. He just didn't pivot, didn't prepare for the debates, and kept saying stupid things.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Its over, but everyone should vote. He will get 38% - 42% regardless which is a fucking shame if you think about it.

 

[Torokil]

I'm still scared for Ohio.

Ohio is getting older and whiter. It's one of the few states that'll lean more red in future elections rather than a bellweather. Kind of like Missouri.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Conway: why is clinton still only 50% she is like the 50% gal

 

[Meowster]

Vote and ensure Trump loses and HRC wins by beautiful and luxurious margins such as this.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Single poll = worthless, taken in a vacuum. Use aggregated poll data or don't bother.

 

[Madness]

This is at the high end of recent polls. Don't think it will be that high when the election happens but it seems to be a sound Hillary Clinton victory. Unlike Brexit in which Stay was tracking one or two points and losing as we got closer to the vote, every observable metric has had Hillary soundly in the lead for a while now. Trump just does not have the numbers. This is not 1960 where 90% of the US is white. He only pretty much has the white male vote which is what 32% overall, that 'locker room' scandal cost him a lot of conservative white women too.

 

[Jawbreaker]

If it's not a landslide, it will have been a disappointment. Right now, the election is between a Hillary landslide and a close call. The nonsense must be harshly repudiated. Afterwards, we can feel bad about Hillary being a substandard candidate.

 

[Afrodium]

Says who?

 

[Falchion]

The only thing, and I mean only thing, Hillary has to worry about is people saying, 'she's going to win anyways' and not voting.

 

[CDX]

One poll, and it's on the high end of the most recent polls, but yeah. This has basically been over for a while now.

I guess, but the low end is like Clinton +7 for a bunch of other recent polls, except for that one outlier.

 

[The One and Done™]

Says one poll. The aggregate is closer to 6 to 7, not double digits.

 

[Torokil]

It is not enough that she wins. The Republicans have to realize that racism and hatred are dead ends demographically since they refuse to accept the morality.

It has to be a catastrophe. The end of the lowest common denominator.

Trump is the opening act. There's gonna be a lot of racial strife in America over the next 40-50 years.

The GOP could've had this. They just went and nominated the only candidate who's more disliked than Clinton.

And even then, Trump could've had it. He just didn't pivot, didn't prepare for the debates, and kept saying stupid things.

I'm curious which candidate you really think could have taken her on. Rubio is an empty suit who turns into a skipping record in the middle of a debate. Cruz is creepy beyond belief and hated by much of his own party. Jeb! is the republican John Kerry, except not as good. Christie is a good speaker, but has lots of baggage and might even wind up in jail. Kasich is the only one who would have made a credible candidate, the others I didn't mention are all kooks.

Look at the way Hillary has navigated this election despite an ocean of baggage, she's very skilled and has a better operation backing her than anything the republicans have, in terms of data and ground operation. Then there's the fact that demographics were against the republicans from the beginning. This was always going to be an uphill climb for them even under the best of circumstances.

 

[Byakuya769]

Still too close, I'm going to vote twice.

 

[saelz8]

Remember, for my people in TX, first day of early voting is tomorrow!

 

[Linkura]

I'm still scared for Ohio.

At this point, Ohio literally doesn't matter. Hillary has all the other important swing states on lock.

Vote, of course, but don't get too caught up about a single state for this election.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Still not big enough a margin. My fellow country people disappoint me

 

[The Lamonster]

Not enough. I want fifteen.

I want 100

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Fuck that. If it's not a 20 point lead, I don't give a shit.

This orange hemorrhoid needs to be fucking obliterated into atoms. His followers need to see their racist misogynistic version of America will never have a place in our future. This needs to be the biggest L in modern history.

 

[The Kree]

Cool, I can stay home on the 28th.

 

[ModBot]

Please don't make threads for individual polls that don't show anything different from what we already know.
