I don't think that any of those polls mean anything at all once the general election starts.
Those numbers are going to change DRASTICALLY when the Republican Party stops attacking their own nominee and Trump turns his attention to taking down Hillary.
Her baggage is MASSIVE. And if you had taken the time to listen to Trump's foreign policy address...he laid out a list of horrible missteps that she made as Secretary Of State that have left the world in turmoil.
Anyway, I don't think that current poll numbers on their matchup are accurate given that he has had all that negative stuff thrown at him by his own party. She hasn't had ANY negative ads directed at her...yet.
Just wait until that starts happening and you will see those numbers start to change rapidly.

That is an excellent point but it works both ways. The "Hillary will be indicted" and "why don't women love Hillary" stories were necessary so Bernie would have a chance and spend his $180m on media. Media gets 1/3 of their revenue from political battles. Now that she is going to be the nominee, you'll start getting the "first woman president" stories. People like to be involved in history.
Republican women will secretly vote for her, and democrat men will secretly vote for him.
Wall street republicans will vote for her, and fucked over democrats will vote for him.
Hispanics will vote for her, and some blacks will vote for him.
I think (assuming he is the nominee) this will be the most exciting election in 100 years.
