Exactly one week before Election Day, polling continues to shift in favor of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, whose campaign has been buoyed by the October 28th announcement by FBI director James Comey that the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified emails had been reopened.
In the latest survey, the ABC/Washington Post tracking poll, Trump now leads his opponent by one point – 46% to 45%.
This represents a massive shift since October 23rd, when the same poll gave Clinton a stunning 12-point advantage over Trump. The poll was touted at the time by Democrats, who jumped on it as proof that Clinton’s election was a shoe-in.
After weeks of leaked Clinton campaign emails and the FBI announcement, however, Clinton’s lead has declined sharply.
According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Clinton’s 7.1% lead from just two weeks has collapsed to just 2.4%. But even that average underplays Clinton’s decline, with most of the polling having taken place prior to Comey’s bombshell announcement.

Best election ever! I am beginning to think that Trump could pull this off.
I never doubted that he could. The only question was whether he would. He will.
Now if only the jews will vote for him. Not holding my breath though...
I was just polled by TPC Research here in ILLINOIS! GO TRUMP!!
The orthodox, pro-Israel and right wing will. The libtardians will not.
That surge is only the msm seeing the writing that’s been on the wall since day one.
Can anyone here shed light on the race in UT? Heard McMullin is doing extremely well..can anyone verify?
Trump up by 1, but the polls are skewed 10% democrat.
Soon comes the only poll that matters.
Many a FREEPER, going back many months, had hoped on here that Trump would surge a week or two before election day. Well... here ya go!
Exactly.
They use a D+10 turnout model. Obama won in 2008 with a D+7 turnout.
To believe ABC, we would have to believe that the enthusiasm and turnout for Hellary is greater than it was for Obama amongst dems in 2008. It sure as hell is not.
Trump must be up 10 points.
Yes. Life is good!!
..he has been ahead since the convention—polling has been dishonest...
Dirty secret is Trump was within 2 in this poll before th FBI memo.
Reality was Trump was never down 12... And Hillary was collapsing before the FBI thing
The Jews in my congregation are voting for him.
Ditto. Orthodox Chabad synagogue here is 100% Trump. If we have a Democrat, they are being very secretive about it...
