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.

Illary is home sleeping letting the media do her campaigning.
Well you can do a simple thing and stop looking for them?
I know well enough that they exist for entertainment purposes only, so one way or the other, they are worthless.
In a national poll, this might be the case. Depending on where the responses came from. Surely Hillary is going to win BIG in places like MA, NY and CA.
But national polls do not much matter. Its the states, people...the states.
Exactly.
“The ad about my daughter is fat has been devastating.”
I haven’t seen the ad, but I can state that if an ad with such a mewling byline is devastating, then it only means that the traditional nation is permanently over and has already been destroyed.
Its a push poll.
Objective isn’t to elect Hillary but to persuade Trump supporters to give up.
Just because they publish a poll, its not necessarily a predictor of voting intentions.
What they seek to do is influence opinion and not measure it.
Rose on another meltdown.
Jesus, lady, the next poll that comes out showing Trump ahead, you will immediately start getting excited and then when the next showing the opposite, you will be back to meltdown.
Exactly. The polls are nothing more than so much smoke and mirrors to get the sheeple to believe they actually have a hand in who wins or loses. The voting system in this country have been bastardized and rigged for many years.
I do not agree with this. Trump was not my first choice, but I support him now. Name me a conservative candidate who could win? Any Republican candidate would lose to Hilary.We are now a left leaning country whose citizens and illegals alike favor a secular socialist government. It’s depressing, but that’s just how it is.
This is how the MSM bends reality.
They gaslight and drive you crazy and have you believe you’re stupid.
Before long, you begin doubting yourself and the rest is self-fulfilling prophecy.
As in, TRUMP IS DOOOMED!!!!
Incorrect. The poll saying Hillary is ahead by 10 pts is false on its face. Other polls do not say that. Not Trump or Hillary is up by anything like that much. It is a close race if you go by ALL of the polls combined - averaged - not a landslide.
Ladies and gents this much you know. By and large polls are controlled by liberal universities and/or media groups. Those groups often use polls to shape opinion and outcome, not to reflect or predict it.
To me the bottom line is winning or losing the liberals that control the polls will and have never in my lifetime (Reagan’s re-elect being the only exception) picked or predicted a Republican victory. Might they be correct that Hillary is wiping the floor with Trump? Sure could be. Could it be the opposite? You bet.
I believe that the days of getting an accurate picture of the state of a race are over. We are flying blind here. You want trusted predoction, tune into the weather because that is probably more accurate than a political poll.
Trump has no doubt committed some mind boggling unforced errors, and has allowed himself to be baited by the media/Democrats several times into going off message. Perhaps it will turn out that he was the weakest candidate against Hillary.
But I don’t buy for a second that he’s the only one who was capable of losing to her. National demographic trends (fueled mostly by decades of mass Democrat-importing immigration) favor the Democrats. She, or any Democrat, probably has a floor in the mid-40s nationally, and that floor is rising.
We can’t know for sure how Hillary, the Democrats, and their media allies would have conducted a campaign against a GOP nominee other than Trump. We can’t know how effective it would have been. Maybe with the unlikeable, dishonest, corrupt Hillary at the top of the ticket it wouldn’t have worked well enough for them. Or maybe it would have. They sure did a good job trashing Romney, who now of course is held up by the same Left as a model of what a Republican should be.
Also, it’s not like the other Republicans had a huge lead over Hillary in the head-to-head matchups before Trump won the nomination. Well, Kasich had a large lead as he was so fond of telling us, but part of that was surely due to the fact that none of the Left’s guns had been set on him yet. Rubio was up by 3-4 points if I remember correctly. Jeb was either even or within a point up or down. Cruz had fallen behind like Trump, though not by as large a margin.
Thanks largely to mass immigration, the days of easy GOP wins and landslides are over. It’s only going to get more difficult from here on out, which is why Hillary would likely win reelection in 2020 if she gets elected this year.
This is a political form of Gaslighting.
Wow, how do you know this...?
Exactly!
Don’t fall for it, yet anyway. This is a tactic by the left to discourage us from fighting against them and the elite.
They’re NOT that stupid..it’s a rumor! I thought by now trump would’ve pounded the bitch with tons of devastating ads across the nation....he is dangerously running out of time! Also the tax chit is hurting him..where is the ad to scare folks if the dirty evil demonic rats can commit this crime against a regular joe they can do it to anyone!!!! I think Trump and his camp are leaning heavily on enthusiasm movement and rallies...he is not only running against the vomit from hell but the UN, THE RINOS all the freakin world or globalist .. if he is depending on enthusiasm only it’s not going to get him too far!! He has to remember that his rallies consist of 15 to 20,000 and beyond that there are millions of voters that do not attend his rallies big difference! Instead of him having rallies at the present time he needs to hit the bunker and start preparing for the debate! That is my two cents worth!
I’m seeing that ad constantly in Texas. Appealing to low info women voters. The only pro Trump ads I see are NRA ads.
