Clinton: 49%
Trump: 37%
Selzer may be the most reliable of all pollsters.
Polls between Clinton and Trump had razor-thin margins not long ago. That's over. Donald Trump has been shooting his mouth off in ways that look very bad.
Gee I hope that's a trend. The "not long ago" was more like yesterday or the day before.
I know there's lots of crazies in this country. But I find it hard to imagine that most people will walk into a polling booth, and think:
well now, I have a choice--- between a lady who has intimate knowledge of statecraft and legislation, a broad view of the country's needs, and a level-headed approach to policy proposals that would work, although she has questions of cutting corners when it comes to rules, and hiding things, and on the other hand....
a guy who has no experience in government, a reality TV star, a real estate speculator who has gone bankrupt a number of times, who is accused in court of fraud, who shoots off his mouth in ways sure to offend allies, who makes proposals that can't be enacted, but which appeal to prejudices to get votes....
And let's see, if I'm in a safe state, I have some other alternatives to consider too; Green, Libertarian.....
Oh well, I'll vote for Trump. He speaks well, and it will certainly make for good entertainment......
