CNN Poll July 2015: Hillary Clinton 51, Jeb Bush 46; Bush Over Trump In August - Video CNN is making a lot out of their August 2015 Opinion Research Poll, reporting that Donald Trump is within "striking distance" of Hillary Clinton with 45 percent in the poll of just over 1,000 people, where Clinton has 51 percent. Aside from the fact that the poll calls more landline users than cellphone users by design, and by a constant ratio of roughly 600 to 400 in the poll data I've looked at for this year thus far, the more shocking news is that in July, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush was a point closer to Clinton.

Oakland Raiders Working On Own Coliseum City Stadium Plan - Video Oakland Raiders working on stadium plan for Oakland!

Meanwhile Kephart is holding his own public meeting Tuesday, August 25th at Lunomare Restaurant in Oakland at 8:30 am. It's a public presentation for invited guests and ahead of the September 4th Oakland City Council Meeting on Coliseum City. via IFTTT http://youtu.be/yzlC57wacDQ
