Hillary Clinton is 10 points ahead of Donald Trump in a national poll just over a month from Election Day.
The Democratic nominee leads her Republican rival 50 percent to 40 percent among likely voters in the Fairleigh Dickinson University survey released Wednesday.
ADVERTISEMENT Pollsters found Clinton’s edge is roughly unchanged when respondents are asked about third-party candidates.
Clinton leads Trump, 45 percent to 36 percent, in a four-way matchup, with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson grabbing 11 percent and the Green Party's Jill Stein nabbing 3 percent.

I took a poll on my road. 9 Trump, 0 Hillary, 1 not talking.
So there.
I voted already by absentee ballot, and also thought of the idea people could vote twice.
But people will get caught, as the ballot is in an unmarked sealed envelope, that unmarked envelope is within another envelope with my name on it with an affidavit to sign. So they will know I voted. I presume when they get it, they check my name off as having voted, just like they do when I am there in person.
So I disagree with your theory early voting should be limited to certain government types. What about the aged that cannot make it? What about those traveling on business or vacationing? The sick? What absentee voting does in increase turnout.
34 states have no excuse early voting, including Texas

Rasmussen has Trump UP by +2.
i guess you pick the poll you want to believe.
One way the poll is misleading is that it calls itself a poll of likely voters.
In fact it’s a poll of of “registered voters, including likely voters.”
It’s not a likely voters poll. Of course any poll of registered voters will likely voters by definition.
Ignore the polls and look at the crowds at the rallies.
If I made the mistake of answering the phone, I’d lie to the pollsters.
Your statement is why Trump's candidacy, and hopefully him winning, is so important. Trump has the capacity to alter the voting behavior of many demographics. This single election could potentially realign the entire political landscape and alter the alter the propensity for specific demographics to vote in a particular way. No other candidate running was capable of doing this.
From the website of this poll it said if she were running against Mike Pence it would be a dead heat. So this poll is BS. This was taken before the VP debate and most of the LIV probably don’t know who Pence even is!
And, if the Dhimmicrats do the counting of early votes, absentia votes and all other votes?
Early and absentia votes are registered in Austin. Does y’all trust them?
They cherry picked.
A leaked document I saw.
Same here.
Rasmussen was not accurate in 2012, which is disconcerting.
They’re trying to drive us crazy. To all, ignore ALL of the polls and GO VOTE!
Anyone who is trying to gaslight you is very insecure and is manipulating you and the things around you to believe them. This describes Hillary to a T.
Be mentally strong! Realize this for what it is — manipulation.
Please do not lose heart! Go vote!
Snicker
These guys are just funny now. Emerson has a FL poll where Trump supposedly is down (can’t find actual number) but gets e6%Hispanic and 18% black. Statistically impossibke unless everyone else was a lesbian.
If you can, please link.
I need some good ammo to prove to a bunch of liberal weenies what is really going on...!
“What happened in 2012?”
I, like many other Republicans, including Rush Limbaugh, came to believe the external polls were seriously wrong and that Romney really was going to win. Example: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2012/11/01/eight-reasons-pro-obama-polls-are-wrong/
Romney’s internal polls were wrong too (in the other direction): https://newrepublic.com/article/110597/exclusive-the-polls-made-mitt-romney-think-hed-win
Now, in this election, I don’t know what to believe about any of these polls. One national poll says Hillary is up by 10 pts. Am I supposed to believe that? I didn’t believe Obama was ahead in 2012 and he was.
The “poll” is bullshit. The sole purpose of these “polls” is to make it easier to steal the election for Hillary. They plan on stealing Florida for Hillary by using absentee ballots for one way.
Maybe. But for 2016 Trump will win if he can really get out more of the white working class that has either sat out past elections or been more evenly split with Democrats, and get the usual Republican edge with middle-class, college educated whites. Unfortunately the latter group seems to among the most susceptible to mainstream media bias.
