I hope we all stay mindful that Trumps numbers are overall lower than Hillary's because

the primary votes were divided among more candidates. We need to GOTV if we want to win in Nov.

The GOP is beating us with new voters and Independents. In key states that is dangerous for us. PA and OH are going to be big problems is we don't GOTV there and get are messages out.

I haven't looked at the other polls yet, but I think that's pretty representative of the norm.

I don't think anyone is denying that.

But I think a lot will change between now and November. I'm really interested to see what those Republicans who will not support Trump try to pull, because they are up to something.

GOTV efforts are useless/ineffective this far out. But that's not to say we aren't registering new voters and getting the message out ... We are!

I know that, since January, my Fraternity Alumni Chapter (and the undergrad Chapter) has been doing voter registration efforts and we have registered over 300 "never voted" voters.
