Hillary Clintons lead over Donald Trump is shrinking, with a new poll released Wednesday showing her margin down to 4 points.
Clinton notched 44 percent to Trumps 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 polls 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 just means that the media arm of the democrat party will double its attacks.

Gaffer, I often wonder what others like me are thinking, outside of you fine peeps here, but like you say drive by Americans.
I bet they are as angry as me. BUT WHAT IF THE ELECTION IS RIGGED TO MAKE cankles win no matter what?
The SS will drag him away.
The media will blame Trump and the NRA ("gun nuts")
Gaining is code for surpassed.
“A majority of voters (60 percent) do not believe the election is rigged, while only 34 percent agree that it is.”
Think about that. 34% of Americans think elections are rigged. Who would have ever imagined that would happen in the land of the free. So very sad.
Truth be known, Trump is more than likely widening the gap between he and Clinton as he expands his lead over ol’ lead bottom.

Looked at awful FOX and their poll said Hillary still gaining.
LOL
Hillary already has...."...we are going to raise taxes on the middle class...." It doesn't get any more specific than that.
I predict there will be enough bogus polls before the debates to put Johnson at 15%. The MSM has a vested interest in having him join the party ...
Steady as she goes.
Round and round we go. Remember the media wants nothing better than to have this be a “horse race” right to the end. I’m voting Trump in November and I think I’ll have about 75,000,000+ other voters with me.
That's how they increase ad revenues.

Exactly. That’s why I tell people to stop worrying about Trump’s “Gaffes”, because it literally doesn’t matter what Trump says. The media is going to manufacture a ‘gaffe’ one way or another regardless of what Trump says, so he might as well continue to tell it like it is, and just be Trump - which is what got him here.
