Typical Liberal news media...polls are biased towards demoncratics...Rassmussen polls are more acurate. If the media had their choice, they'd have Goofy and Sponge Bob as President and Vice President....Oh Yea!, they are already in the White House...now they want them their again for another 4 years.....what idiots!
