Yeah those numbers are ugly. New Hampshire is a state that I had sort of mentally pencilled in for Trump.
There was, just to provide a counterpoint, a Civitas/SurveyUSA poll yesterday that showed Trump ahead 46-42 in North Carolina.
Rasmussen has new numbers this morning, and shows Clinton ahead by 4 nationally. Given Rasmussen's history of showing (for whatever reason) very good numbers for Republicans over the years, it is tempting to see that as a very good number for Clinton.
I think the next few weeks will tell an important story. Do these numbers tighten, or does Clinton's lead stick around? I think the Olympics actually provide a good time-out for the Trump campaign, and a chance to reboot.
