The iPhone/iPad App is Available Again
The little app for the iPhone and iPad (written by John Sinteur, proprietor of the excellent
Daily Irrelevant blog)
is available again.
To download it for free, click on the iPhone icon under the map legend (not the "Smartphone" icon).
The iPhone app gives a very basic version of the site, with no layout, suitable for reading on small smartphones.
There is, unfortunately, no Android version of the app. (V)
Clinton Has Double-Digit Lead Nationally
Yet another national poll puts Hillary Clinton ahead of Donald Trump.
This time it is a
Monmouth University poll
with Clinton at 50%, Trump at 37%, Libertarian Gary Johnson at 7%, and Green
Jill Stein at 2%. Clinton has solidified her support among Democrats, with 92%
of them in her camp. The very small support for Jill Stein (2%) indicates that
the supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are apparently past bargaining and
moving into depression and acceptance, possibly both at the same time. Also
noteworthy is that Clinton has an 8-point lead in the 10 swing states that were
decided by fewer than 7 points in 2012. In terms of favorable/unfavorable,
Clinton is at 37%/49% whereas Trump is deeply under water at 26%/61%.
Another poll, from Susquehanna Polling and Research (SPR), arguably gave even
worse news for The Donald. The pollsters asked Pennsylvanians about their presidential
preference, and Clinton came out ahead 46% to 37%. This was bad news for two
reasons. First, Pennsylvania is essential to Trump's electoral
hopes—without the Keystone State, he has few viable paths to victory.
Second, SPR is a Republican polling firm. We don't put partisan pollsters
(including SPR) into our database, because they tend to be heavily skewed in favor
of whichever party is paying the bills. For a Republican house to give the
Democratic candidate a 9-point lead is very unsettling for the Republican,
indeed. (V & Z)
