    That is a good question. I just looked it up and the numbers startled me. I had no idea that the numbers were that high. I can't see how this many different services can produce around the same result.

    Gallup Poll [a]
    June 11-13, 2016 50%
    Rasmussen Reports [b] April 26–29, 2016 50%
    FOX News [c] April 11–13, 2016 49%
    NBC/The Wall Street Journal [d] April 10–14, 2016 49%

    On the other hand, both Clinton and Trump have quite dismal approval ratings compared with previous candidates from their respective parties. Worst in decades, as a matter of fact.

    And how do you know which polls to believe and which not to believe? Surely we need to dismiss the Fox poll - and I believe you stated that Rasmussen was leaning right as well. Anything else we should dismiss here before we even bother to look at any numbers?

    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

    But I can see a bit of truth in them. Imagine asking anyone "would you rather keep Obama or vote for either Trump or Hillary Clinton?"

    I want to place this in the same category as the early 2008 conspiracy theory that GW Bush was going to declare martial law rather than leave office the following January.
    Well...anyone that believes conspiracy theories have a few nuts and bolts loose inside the cranium.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
