More evidence that the Dem base is starting to solidify? (NOTE: Graphs fixed. Sorry for any confusion.) Gallup provides additional perspective when you compare this to Hillary’s head-to-head numbers before she dropped out… While campaigning for president, Clinton demonstrated an especially strong appeal to women. She led McCain by 52% to 40% in her final [...]
Courtesy of MSNBC.

Here are the numbers… The details… The only major demographic group still supporting Clinton to the tune of 51% or more is women aged 50 and older. This group’s preferences have changed little [...]
