Analysis New poll analysis finds a wasted summer for Donald Trump and a boost for Hillary Clinton
The Los Angeles Times ^ | August 20th 2016 | Cathleen Decker

The last six weeks have been a time of tumult in the presidential campaign — two conventions and a fistful of controversies, many of them created by Republican nominee Donald Trump himself.

With the campaign moving toward a final general election sprint, Trump finds himself in a dangerous place. He has narrowed his support to a segment of the electorate, and curbed his own momentum, according to an analysis of six weeks of findings in the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Daybreak presidential tracking poll.

Over the same period, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has built support — even among groups previously arrayed against her — into demonstrable advantages.

The poll was first published July 10 and is in its seventh week. The analysis covered the six full weeks, and thus did not chart any impact from Trump’s high-profile speeches this week, or his midweek decision to shake up his campaign’s leadership.

Over six weeks’ time, Trump’s 22-point lead among whites narrowed to 18 points. Among nonwhites, Clinton’s advantage rose from 38 points to 46 points.

Trump’s lead among voters without a college degree shrank from 12 points to five points. Among those with college degrees, Clinton’s edge increased from 13 points to 15 points.

Among men, Trump’s advantage dropped from 12 points to eight points. Among women, Clinton’s edge grew from five points to 12 points.

So they think Trump should go into hiding the way Clintoon did and let the state controlled “media” and America-hating Muzzies with big mouths campaign for him the way they did their queen Clintoon? Ain’t gonna happen.

What a crock. Hillary has been running for POTUS for 10 years now. She has not sewn up anything other than corruption.
This ain’t over by a long shot. She sucks as a candidate and EVERYONE knows it. Trump has his issues that’s for sure, but he is not a Politician. He calls it as he sees it, sometimes as we have seen, to his detriment.

Great now I hope Democrats and neverTrumpers will stay home since their vote won’t be needed as Hillary is winning. Idiots.

Trump has gained 7 points in 7 days to come from 5 down to up 2. Who wrote this steaming pile of crap Natie Silver?

Why do you people keep paying attention to the polls when it has been proven that they are rigged.
