Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump is shrinking, with a new poll released Wednesday showing her margin down to 4 points.
Clinton notched 44 percent to Trump’s 40 percent in the Bloomberg Politics poll, which had Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at 9 percent, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein tallied 4 percent.
The same poll last month had Clinton with a much larger lead, with the Democrat at 49 percent, Trump at 37 and Johnson at 9 percent.
--------------------------------------------
A majority of voters (60 percent) do not believe the election is rigged, while only 34 percent agree that it is.
And 69 percent of the poll’s respondents would rather watch a presidential debate between Trump and Clinton than an NFL game, with 56 percent believing Clinton is likely to have a better performance than Trump in the first debate.
The poll found the race a bit looser, however, when only the two major-party candidates are in the mix, with Clinton getting 50 percent and Trump 44 percent.
The Bloomberg Politics poll surveyed 1,007 US adults over the age of 17 and was conducted Aug. 5-8.

That’s a lot of ground to make up. I mean when your opponent is ahead by 180%, that’s a formidable task. /s
Getting harder to hide the obvious cherry-picking, data manipulation and and out-right fraud?
Mr. Trump is presenting economic policy and the Dems having nothing to offer.
That covers a weekend. Who is at home to answer the phone over a weekend in August, and who is at the beach or in the mountains, or away on vacation?
Trump needs to stay on message: jobs/trade, illegal immigration, crime & terrorism.
Massive ad onslaught on Crooked H after Olympics.
This poll touts that voters think Trump said something bad about the Kahn CON. What did he say. I hear detractors spouting off on the Kahn Con comments but when I press them on what Trump actually said, the go “DUHHHHHHHH”. NOTHING !! Called him a “good guy” !!! said nothing about the service of his son killed 12 years ago. Said his wife was “ silent” — Absolute truth. This is a smear with no substance at all. zero.It is made up innuendo. Why do we let our enemies lie to us with no rebuttal?
Nervous Nellies that conservatives are often prone to be, we don’t fully realize (that, as a collective) just how wide-spread and hated the status-quo of Democrat/liberal and RINO Republican elitist dogma sits with everyday drive by Americans who work, slave and pay taxes who are not privileged enough to sit on their ass and collect entitlements and complain ‘what matters.’
We have arrayed against us the vestiges of a formidable cabal of bullshit artists who depend on lies to demoralize us, hoping to keep us from November 8, 2016.
Stay strong. Stay resolute and vote that day. Send the weasels back to the hell in which they belong.
There has to be a horserace for the media to get people to look at them, doesn’t there?
Face it, enthusiasm for Hillary is low. Trump is turning people away. The GOP traitors are a problem, but guess what? EVERYBODY in the nation except a small number of cheerleaders HATES the GOP with a purple passion. Does Hillary really get a bounce from a hated entity endorsing her? Conversely, does the absence of the hated GOP mainstream actually hurt Trump?
I think we have a shot. It’s gonna be a wait till election day thing though. I remember right up the bitter end, Reagan was gonna lose hard.
“Who is at home to answer the phone over a weekend in August,”
Who has a landline in their house?
Still a good bit of ground to make up, and Hitlery does hve the media on her side.
Once again the future is coming down to the 6%-8% who are too mush-minded to make a choice.
Even when it’s as stark as THIS choice.
Nan nan nan nan naaaaah, he's gaining, folks!
The Reuters poll the other day? D+10.
Trump is doing fine.
This is a poll of “adults.” Likely voters= a dead out tie right now. A REASONABLE sample of D/R likely voters? Trump wins this easy.
I’ll never vote for the Republicans again after how they treated Trump, unless I know it’s someone who’s anti-Establishment.
Lol!!!!!
yep, 180% is how much the hag will win by.
I hope (and pray).
And at the last possible moment a man arrives that sacrificed and risked everything to save America , us and freedom. His name is Trump and only he could do it . What hero can he be compared to Braveheart,Washington? no none had it all as Trump had it only to risk it all to save and make America great again.
If he pulls it off and wins over the mainstream media lies then he will have saved America and our future. We will owe him everything. Fight for freedom, America and your future fight for Trump : donate on his website.
