LA Times Poll: Trump Takes Half a Point Lead over Clinton
breitbart.com ^ | 8/20/16 | Alex Swoyer

Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton in the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times “Daybreak” poll for the first time since Aug. 3 — the last day he had an edge on the former secretary of state. Although the race remains too close to call, Trump is roughly half a point in front of Clinton, 44.2 percent to 43.6 percent.

The survey questioned 2,463 voters.

The daily tracking poll questions roughly 3,000 eligible voters through Nov. 8, election day, on which presidential candidate they support. The data is weighed from the previous week, so the results can lag with major events within the campaign.

LA Times HAS to say SOMETHING.

But THAT wasn't what it wanted to say.

Now that Trump is leading and trending up, this is when Romney comes out to try to get Trump off message with the public.

There will be business failures all over the place when President Trump takes over.

He's exposed the rampant dishonesty and fraud in the lamestream and it/they CAN'T survive as they have been for the last 30 years.

But, but, but, I thought Trump was getting trounced? I thought he was wayyy behind. She was ahead in 40 states!

What a surprise, the media and the pollsters (willing accomplices to the propagandists) have been skewing the polls. They still are. When they say Trump and Clinton are even it means he is ahead by 8 to 10 points.

Trump will save far more businesses than he puts under.

I didn’t mean “he would put them under”, rather ... the fresh air of honest business would close doors that corruption had kept open.

It won’t be this close a month from now, if she’s still in the race at all. Many people sense that something dramatic will take place by then.

Most polls are used to arm twisting political campaigns. I said in another thread as soon as Trump starts spending money on media purchases the polls would drift back in his direction. You will also see more positive articles.

Media wants his money. It’s always about the money.

I understood what you were saying. He would be hurtful to the corrupt crony capitalists. Those are the ones that might go under.

Does Hillary think she has already won and thus is just not going to waste her precious energy campaigning and having to rub shoulders with the unwashed peasants? She has gone into hiding while rumors about her health swirl and Trump pours it on with renewed focus, purpose and starts looking presidential with security briefings and visits to Louisiana. Didn’t everyone say Romney lost because he basically took the month of August off? I guess she doesn’t have to bother when the media will just campaign for her.

With constant propaganda against Trump in the media, he has not started ads and we have not even gotten to the debates which will be most watched in history....and Trump is up in a LA Times Poll?????

The race is over especially if they do release the hacked emails from all the dem organizations.

If Trump has regained the lead, this is the same thing his internal polls are telling him... he’s well ahead.

Hillary thinks she has it in the bag and that’s why she stopped campaigning. She’s basically too lazy to work hard to be President.

And people are taking notice. A generic Democrat should be up by double digits in late August and Hillary is behind!

That’s the look of loser written all over her.

“Now that Trump is leading and trending up, this is when Romney comes out to try to get Trump off message with the public.”

Romney is probably itching to speak before the Clinton Foundation like he did before.

How can that possibly be, been hearing on FAUX News all week about Trump being so far behind and the *conservative* pundits worrying if there was anyway he could catch up.
