With his latest controversies abating in intensity, Donald Trump’s supporters are ramping up their intention to vote, edging him closer to Hillary Clinton. And anxiety about a Trump presidency, while high, is off its peak -- now rivaled by discomfort with Clinton.
Sixty-one percent of likely voters polled say they’re anxious about the possibility of Trump as president, with nearly half “very” anxious. But that’s down from 68 percent in June, and anxiety about Clinton has moved the other way, up 5 points to 56 percent in this ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll.
In a four-day average of interviews, 48 percent of likely voters polled say they’d support Clinton if the election were today, while 42 percent pick Trump, compared to 49-40 percent yesterday and 50-38 percent Tuesday. Gary Johnson has 5 percent support, Jill Stein 1 percent.

They are building fake rationale for turning away from fake polls. Faux News is building their’s on “surge” of independent support for Trump.
LOL. How true.
This has become a tradition in our Presidential elections. This one is perhaps a little more or maybe even a lot more intense but it is still THE SAME OLD STORY.
Watch the polls and the commentary move in Trump's direction going forward. Not 100% but in bits and pieces.
Its all about the trend my FRiend. Most polls showing this. Whether real or manufactured, its moving our way.
Media is backing down.
Yep. Polls are just media weapons to shape and shift public opinion. Always have been, IMHO.
It is completely predictable. These false MSM push polls have been spewed as propaganda for the last six months. Now that the election is less than two weeks away, they have to get in line with reality before losing all credibility.
Hard to know if Trump is surging or if they are merely starting to tweak their poll back to reality to save their reputation on Nov 9
Every election polling goes the same way:
1) Dem is reported to start out with big advantage to get a bandwagon effect
2) Rep is reported to slowly tighten the gap in order to motivate Dems to work harder
3) Ambiguous dead heat as election gets closer to draw maximum audience
4) When election day gets close enough so that polls would lose credibility, polls try to be accurate
Same old, same old.
Now that the election is less than two weeks away, they have to get in line with reality before losing all credibility.
That’s the interesting question, though. Will they or are they too far gone and will let the fraud and deceit stand as is and pretending they’re actions never existed to begin in the first place.
I know how they’re spinning the word, but it’s a crap poll because “anxious” can be used for both good and bad feelings. Hell, I’m anxious for a Trump presidency because we’ll have someone we can start to trust in office again.
