What Does Lawrence O'Donnell Think Now?

A new poll is being trumped-good word for it!-that shows Trump within 6 of Hillary. Of course the VSP in the media are razzing her about this. But I don't mind at all, actually. Every poll that comes out proves that she's in big trouble according to the VSP. Talk about confirmation bias.

Everything is about panic, Bernie and emails. But that's fine as I've got bigger fish to fry.

"Since announcing his campaign in late June, Donald Trump has quickly leapt to the top of the Republican field, leading recent polls nationally, in Iowa and in New Hampshire. And now, for the first time in CNN/ORC polling, his gains among the Republican Party have boosted him enough to be competitive in the general election."

"The poll finds Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump by just 6 points, a dramatic tightening since July. Trump is the one of three Republican candidates who have been matched against Clinton multiple times in CNN/ORC polling to significantly whittle the gap between himself and the Democratic frontrunner. He trailed Clinton by 16 points in a July poll, and narrowed that gap by boosting his standing among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (from 67% support in July to 79% now), men (from 46% in July to 53% now) and white voters (from 50% to 55%)."

Ok, yuk it up Hillary haters.

"But Clinton still holds the cards overall in the race for the White House, leading four Republican contenders: She tops Trump and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker by 6 points each among registered voters, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by 9 points, and businesswoman Carly Fiorina by 10 points."

Oops. Listen if any Republican candidate is going to come within 6 points, Trump is the one I'd choose. And he's the last one GOPers would choose. So eat your hearts out Hillary haters. A few thoughts:

1. Could this substantiate the Politico story that Hillary is rooting for Jeb and is afraid of Trump?

And yet we hear that her husband may have talked The Donald into running. What was Bill thinking?

2. Maybe it's time for O'Dennell to rethink his claim that because 'only' 38% think Trump is electable he has topped out at 25% forever more?

I don''t think 38% is at all low and would suggest that Trump at least has about 13% above his 25% that will think could be won over as they at least think he has a shot.

If you get 38% of the primary that's anything but nothing. And with Trump within six maybe that 38% grows further.
