A Brutal Month for TrumpBeginning of the end for the hildebeast, sorry dems and libs, you chose a lame mare. But it was her turn, right?
June 30, 2016
First Read looks at how Donald Trump squandered the month of June:
- The polls: Trump now trails Clinton by six points nationally in the RealClearPolitics average, when Clinton’s lead had been just one point in late May.
- The money: He had just $1.3 million in the bank, according to the last campaign-finance report, versus $42 million for Clinton.
- The ads: For the month, Clinton and her allies outspent Team Trump over the battleground-state airwaves, $26 million to $0, though the NRA starts spending $2 million on Trump’s behalf in battlegrounds starting today (more on that below).
- The travel: Despite having a month-long head start on Clinton in getting to the general election, the only battleground states that Trump has visited more than his rival are Pennsylvania (2 visits to 1), Florida (1 to 0), and New Hampshire (2 to 0, including today’s event), while Clinton has the advantage in Ohio (3 to 1) and North Carolina (2 to 1, including Tuesday’s upcoming appearance with President Obama).
- The controversies: Whether it was the attack on the federal judge or his reaction to the Orlando terrorist attack, the attention Trump received in June was mostly negative. Per our NBC/WSJ poll, 55% of all voters said they had less favorable impression of Trump from what they had seen, heard, or read of him, compared with 20% who had a more favorable view (-35). Clinton’s score here was 38% less favorable, 27% more favorable (-11).
RCP averages are skewered by the biased ABC poll by Langer and the outright fraud commited by Reuters by over sampling Democrats by 33%.
$$$$$ First fundraiser was held May 24th. More to come.
The attention Trump receives is always freaking negative.
