WAPO?!!-----12 months later, Trump would probably still win the 2016 election

12 months later, Trump would probably still win the 2016 election

It has been almost exactly one year since President Trump shocked the world by defeating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. 

And he might well do it again today.
Confronted with the events of the past 12 months and even Trump's unprecedented unpopularity — 59 percent disapprove of his presidency — a new poll shows that 2016 voters look as though they'd still pick Trump, albeit about as narrowly as they did before.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll asked respondents how they'd vote in a redo of the 2016 election, and, if anything, Clinton seems to have lost more ground than Trump. 
Among those who voted, 46 percent say they picked Clinton last year and 43 percent picked Trump — a slightly more favorable sample than the 2016 election, in which Clinton won the popular vote by two percentage points. 
But in a head-to-head rematch, Clinton's support drops even more than Trump's does, and they wind up in a 40-40 tie. 
Given that Trump overperformed in key, blue-leaning swing states, that means he'd probably have won again..."
