Hillary has more than a math problem with less than 90 days to Iowa


The public has known Hillary for over 20 years. First Lady, Senator, and SoS. She has way more $ than her competitors and some PACs, a friendly press, and an established ground game. Everything points to slam dunk!

A new poll this morning shows her under 50%.

Something doesn't add up.

I know this is another a baseless, sexist, mean attack.

Not sure how can that be interpreted as a math problem.

The primary there is April 26th. I don't imagine the campaigns are all out in that state and she's still ahead by 19, so

On the Democratic side, the Nov. 15-16 survey found Hillary Clinton crushing Bernie Sanders 66 percent to 22 percent.



Is this thread a suicide mission?

This is not the general where your metric might matter. Very strange you would expect her to hold over fifty through the whole cycle with two other very capable opponents in a state that doesn't play to all of her strengths.

And here is the headline of your link.

EMERSON COLLEGE POLL REVEALS TRUMP LEADS SPLINTERED GOP FIELD IN CONNECTICUT, CLINTON FAR AHEAD IN DEM RACE

The real shocker there is how few are undecided. Six percent? The race is over.

Maybe we can ask someone from Faux Snooze to weigh in and straighten this mess out.
Probably not.

And Sanders needs a new kind of math entirely to feel optimistic about what's happening.
