The seesaw battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump finds the Democratic nominee back in the lead.
The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Clinton with 43% support to Donald Trump’s 39%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets nine percent (9%) of the vote, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein earns two percent (2%). Another two percent (2%) like some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Last week, Trump edged ahead of Clinton 40% to 39%. It was the first time he had been in the lead since mid-July. The latest finding is Clinton’s best showing in a month, but the race remains a close one, within or just outside our survey’s +/- 3 margin of error for months.
Clinton earns 78% support among Democratic voters, while 75% of Republicans favor Trump. The two are basically tied among voters not affiliated with either major party, a group Trump has led in for the past several weeks.
Johnson has the support of eight percent (8%) of Republicans, seven percent (7%) of Democrats and 13% of unaffiliateds. Green has no statistical support among GOP voters but wins the backing of one percent (1%) of Democrats and four percent (4%) of unaffiliated voters.

If you want to see the demographics, you have to register. Anyone?
Must be his “special sauce”.
Could be with only a current response rate of 3% that polling in the internet age is worthless except as a cheap means for the MSM to drive a narrative and send a signal to the campaigns to spend more money on advertising.
Is our country too far gone? I mean really? Hitlery is really leading in the polls?
If Johnson even gets 3% on election day I’ll be stunned.
Could be like I did yesterday. Got a poll call from a “student” at UTEP, getting college credit. Told him I was a democrat and voting for Trump.
The polls will continue to go back and forth until election day. Regardless of the polls, good or bad, as another Freeper said a few weeks ago, we should play this as though we are down by a touchdown with 5 minutes left in the game.
At this point they’re probably polling 200 likely Democrat voters and no Republicans or independents. That’s why the results still show Hillary leading.
scott rasmussen has Nothing to do with this polling firm .
some lib investment group bought back in 2013 from
him .
You have to pay to see the Internals.
I know who I'm voting for and nothing is going to change my mind. None of us have any control of these polls other than to get out and vote and prove them bogus.
“If Johnson even gets 3% on election day I’ll be stunned.”
I won’t be stunned only because many who are liberal but cannot stand Hillary will go that route before they vote for Trump.
The polls will continue to show a close race, with Hillary in the lead, up until election day. Whether true or not.
This is required so that, when they steal the election through voter fraud and ballot-stuffing, they will have the polls to back up the “results.”
Our country is dead. The outcome is already decided.
the Establishment is using Gary Johnson to steal votes from Trump but theyre going ro be surprised when its Hillary that takes the hit. worst case scenario it will be a wash imo.
Would not be surprised if they were changed to give Hillary the lead.
New poll shows Hillary up 99.9% to .1% for trump. Poll was taken among lesbian, bisexual, post abortive frogs!
My guess is Johnson might get a larger millennial vote than expected. Which hurts Hitlery.
Still, it is discouraging such a liberal fascist is leading in this poll.
I quit watching the trends form this liberal group when they shifted barrys popularity up 10% in one day.
