The polling looks awfully good for Hillary Clinton, and that is making fans of Donald Trump awfully suspicious.
How is it that the Republican presidential nominee, who led in nearly every poll during the primary campaign, is suddenly losing to the unpopular Democratic standard bearer?
In the latest edition of the Washington Examiner‘s “Examining Politics” podcast, chief political correspondent Byron York and contributor Lisa Boothe parse the polls — both national and state, and discuss why voters can’t kick the habit of finding fault with surveys that show their preferred candidate behind.
“There are a lot of different numbers as to the extent of Hillary Clinton’s lead in the national polling,” York said. “If you look at the RealClearPolitics average of recent national polls, it’s one, long, blue line. Hillary Clinton has led in all 21 of the last 21 polls that have been taken nationally.”
Also featured on this episode of “Examining Politics,” the Examiner’s investigative reporter, Sarah Westwood, discusses the report on the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, issued by a House select committee convened to investigate the event; and Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberly Strassel, to talk about her new book, The Intimidation Game.
