The Dems are making a poor choice anointing her. No doubt she'll get a convention bounce, and will probably get debate bounces along the way too. The fact that the Republican hierarchy hates Trump could tell, and the other question is the polling database. If they're calling landline-only, that will skew the age demographic and present Trump with bigger numbers.Currently the only people that matter in Presidential election polls are Dems in the Blue States. If Hillary is weak with them she will lose the election. It doesn't matter what voters in Red States say since the Repubs will outvote the Dems in those States. Therefore Hillary should be concerned about her standing with the Dem voters in the New England and Great Lakes States.
I don't think she needs to worry about them too much. With Trump as the opponent, they will turn out not for/ her, but against him. She should certainly put New York high on her list of priorities, and Florida as well.
