Hillary Clinton's Lead Over Trump Shrinks After Controversial Week: Poll
NBC News ^ | July 12, 2016 | HANNAH HARTIG, JOHN LAPINSKI and STEPHANIE PSYLLOS

Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump narrowed to 3 points this week after several days of controversy following FBI Director James Comey's recommendation that no criminal charges be brought against the former secretary of state over her use of a private email server.

While the developments are certainly good news for the Clinton campaign, Comey's critical statement on Clinton's handling of the matter was not positive. Clinton's lead over Trump has deteriorated in the past couple weeks since her lead peaked two weeks ago.

An online poll with people say they can vote? The numbers must be bad for Hillary.

I got desperate looking for new polls since RealClearPolitics hasn’t updated in a while and is still sitting at 4.5%

A lot has happened lately.

Obviously polling is on hold until they can figure out a way to get the results they want.

Good news for Hillary?

The MSM is trying to put a brave face on her decline.

Only last month they were jubilant Hillary appeared to have the election wrapped up.

Now they’re concerned.

Coverage has been pretty much continuous with gaps of 2-3 days here and there, one for 4 days back in May, but we are up to 6 days so far and it’s been a pretty eventful 6 days you have to admit.
