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.

And all the LA Times can talk about is some of his previous advantages are diminishing.
That's some analysis. Somebody had to dig hard for these little jewels.
Check out this Don Lemon interview and you will see the spirit of the LA Times there.
Polls are not a Predictive Instrument.
Polls only show a snapshot of the moment.
AND The Times analysis covers only the six weeks from inception until July 12th when Trump recovered his standing in this poll.
As of a week ago... the analysis is accurate.
Since it only takes a half-hour to analyze the poll they’re leaving out the last weeks findoings on purpose.
In statistics, you can often find what you want if you throw context out the window. As a convinced Clintonite her self inflicted glee is fueled by wishful thinking, looking ominously at recent speeches by trump and news shots of catheter tubes running down legs.
Why read such tripe. WILL NOT COME FROM UNDER THE BED in order to read derogatory remarks about our next President.
The lies and hateful rederick are becoming outrageous, even for the MFM and #Never Trumpers. There is a limit to how much one can take!
I couldn’t watch more than 20secs of that.
planting this false assumption...
I don't see it anecdotally....just don't see it...
Pure Dreck from Cathleen..
The liberal media and their fabricated Khan story tried to destroy Donald Trump but like Jason he keeps coming back. Nothing the media can throw at him will work because he speaks truth to power and his followers are sick and tired of the status quo.
Headline doesn’t match poll graph trendlines.... Looks to me like Indian Summer is going to see the rebound of Trump and the stagnation of Clinton.
Exactly right. It's disgusting.
Yeah, yeah, we know, Trump should have quit day one.
No polls, no news
