Hillary Clinton clinched the nomination last week and was up a substantial 5.4% vs the prior week to 66.9%. That is the second highest mark she has been at. She was at 68.4% at the end of April.
As one would expect with Clinton clinching, Sanders dropped. His odds, however, are still fairly substantial. He comes in at 3.3% which is still higher than the beginning of May. This may be a reflection of Clinton’s potential email problem blowing up prior to the convention. That is exactly the reason Joe Biden’s odds keep hanging on at 2.3%.
Donald Trump was down for the second straight week at 26.4% from 29.6%. Trump’s high two weeks ago was at 32.9%. Trump has had a tough couple of weeks with the Trump University/Mexican Judge controversy which has made building a bridge with the Republican establishment tougher.
