ABC News/Washington Post Poll: Hillary Clinton Opens 8 Point Lead Over Trump

Good news for Hillary Clinton in the new ABC News/Washington Post poll which shows the former Secretary of State opening up an 8 point lead (50% vs. 42%) over Republican billionaire Donald Trump.

Clinton’s biggest gains have come from college educated white females where she’s surged from 45% to 57%.

The survey also reveals many of Trump’s negatives with the voting public:

• 79% say Trump doesn’t show enough respect for those he disagrees with

• 70% express anxiety of a Trump presidency

• 67% say Trump lacks the temperament to be president

• 64% have doubts about his understanding of world affairs

• 62% say he’s not honest

• 60% believe he’s biased against women and minorities

The 8 point lead holds even when factoring Libertarian and Green Party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein – 45% / 37% / 8% / 4%.

From CBS News:

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) selected the 10 athletes from more than 40 candidates based on sporting skill, verified refugee status, and personal background.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Donald Trump Would Be A Disaster And An Embarrassment”

Sen. Bernie Sanders pens this op-ed for the LA Times wherein he implores his supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton and make sure Donald Trump gets nowhere near the presidency.

The conventions are over and the general election has officially begun. In the primaries, I received 1,846 pledged delegates, 46% of the total. Hillary Clinton received 2,205 pledged delegates, 54%. She received 602 superdelegates. I received 48 superdelegates. Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee and I will vigorously support her.

Donald Trump would be a disaster and an embarrassment for our country if he were elected president. His campaign is not based on anything of substance — improving the economy, our education system, healthcare or the environment. It is based on bigotry.

I understand that many of my supporters are disappointed by the final results of the nominating process, but being despondent and inactive is not going to improve anything. Going forward and continuing the struggle is what matters. And, in that struggle, the most immediate task we face is to defeat Donald Trump.
