Slog, slog, slog – The 2016 Presidential Election season slogs along – the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) clown car continues to pick up occupants – at some point one would think it will reach critical mass – while the Democratic Party drags along, picking up few contenders.

Where are things in the waning days as we move into the first summer of 2016 campaign season?

Nationally, a Fox News poll, conducted by telephone of “registered voters” from May 31 – June 2, 2015, has a two-way tie in the GOTP with Jeb Bush and Scott Walker at 12% each; Ben Carson 11%; Rand Paul 9%; Ted Cruz 8%; Marco Rubio 7%; Mike Huckabee 6%; Chris Christie 5%; Donald Trump and Rick Perry 4%; and last of all there is a four-way tie for tail-end Charlie, John Kasich, Carly Fiorina, Rick Santorum and Lindsey Graham at 2%

On the Democratic side, the same poll has Hillary Clinton still way out in front with 57%, followed by Bernie Sanders at 11%, Vice-President Joe Biden 8%, Martin O’Malley 4%, Jim Webb 2%, and Lincoln Chafee at 1%.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Poll, conducted 29-31 May, if the General Election was today:

Clinton 52/Cruz 43

Clinton 51/Bush 43

Clinton 49/Walker 46

Clinton 49/Rubio 46

Clinton 48/Paul 47

The poll did not ask voters about a match-up between Clinton and Carson, Huckabee, Christie, Trump, Perry, Kasich, Fiorina, Santorum or Graham.

According to recent polling data available, if the election was today Hillary Clinton would be the 45th President of the United States, and the others would be footnotes in history books.

Rolling, rolling, rolling – The 2016 Presidential Election season rolls on – the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) clown car continues its wild ride while the “Scooby Mobile” has competition from Bernie Sanders.

Where are things in these early moments of the 2016 campaign?

Nationally, a Fox News poll continues to prove just how big of a joke the so-called news agency and its’ viewers are, declaring, among other comical tidbits, that Mike Huckabee – the snake oil salesman of miraculous diabetes cures, is “seen as more ethical than most,” of all the GOTP candidates.

The “poll,” conducted by telephone of “registered voters” from 9-12 May 2015, has Jeb Bush tied with Ben Carson at 13% each, Scott Walker 11%, Mike Huckabee 10%, Marco Rubio 9%, Rand Paul 7%, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie 6%, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and John Kasich at 2%, while Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorina bring up the rear at 1%.

On the Democratic side, the same “poll” has Hillary Clinton in a commanding lead of undeclared candidates with 63%, followed by Elizabeth Warren (who has declared she is not running) at 13%, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders 6%, Jim Webb 2% and Martin O’Malley at 0%

This same so-called “poll” – if used to see how things stack up if the General Election was today – has Bush overcoming a double-digit deficit from a month ago beating Clinton – no bias of course from a “news” organization like Fox News.  In fact, according to Fox News, all of the GOTP contenders suddenly have overcome devastating numbers to all become contenders against Hillary – at this point, nothing but a dream Fox, nothing but a dream.

Bush 45/Clinton 44

Clinton 47/Huckabee 44

Clinton 48/Walker 42

Clinton 47/Rubio 43

Clinton 48/Cruz 43

Clinton 48/Carson 42

According to recent polling data available, if the election was today Hillary Clinton would be the 45th President of the United States, except for one group, which thinks Jeb Bush should be president, and the others would be footnotes in history books.
