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.

Here’s a trend of the weekly odds:

Gary Johnson’s poll numbers have increased from 5% at the end of May to the most recent 12% for an average of 9%.

Where is this 9% coming from?

There have been three recent polls that have showed both head to head between Trump and Clinton as well as adding Gary Johnson to the mix. Here are their results:

Based on these polls, it’s clear Johnson is taking a substantial amount from both candidates, although he seems to be taking more away from Clinton (average of 4.7) than from Trump (average 3.7).

It will be interesting to see if Johnson can get high enough in the polls to be included in the debates, and how that may change this race.  Johnson will need to poll at 15% or above to be included.
