Candidate Bumps

[PolWatch]

After steadily dropping in the polls, Clinton has started to climb (not a lot-but not more drop). Interesting that Trump reached a high before he was considered the apparent nominee. He has dropped steadily in the polls since then. Its usual for a candidate to receive a bump when they become the only candidate in each party. Its not usual for a candidate to start dropping in the polls. The only polls that matter will happen in November but it sure is fun to watch 'em now!

There is a good graph at the link showing both candidates rise & fall in the polls. Looks like a rough ski slope.

...and another poll might show Trump neck and neck, and another might show Hildebeast trailing Trump...

Hillary was bound to rise in the polls as the Bern was put out. Let's see what happens when the two presumed nominees go head to head.

This is true. I think the Real Clear Politics gives the best average of many reputable polls....not just the slanted ones that favor one party.
