Clinton's lead over Trump slips after Florida shooting: Reuters/Ipsos poll
Reuters ^ | June 17, 2016 | Chris Khan

Donald Trump chipped away at Hillary Clinton's lead in the presidential race this week, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday, as the candidates clashed over how to respond to the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

The poll, conducted from Monday to Friday, showed Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, with a 10.7 point lead among likely voters over Trump, her likely Republican rival in the November presidential election. That's down from a lead of 14.3 points for Clinton on Sunday, the day an American-born shooter who declared allegiance to militant group Islamic State killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

Trump seized on the attack to sharpen his security proposals, saying he would block immigration to the United States from any country with a "proven history of terrorism" against America and its allies if elected. The pledge fine-tuned an earlier vow, made after the attacks last year in Paris and California, to ban the entry of all Muslims into the United States....

It truly is ONLY a wildly-lying media that is propping up the antiquated socialist granny.

Hewitt probably got a look at Levin’s ratings.

I didn't repost a pulled thread.

The first post that you pulled referred to this photo link in "theatlantic.com":

"https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/01/RTR2Q8YC/lead_960.jpg"
After you pulled it, I checked the FR copyright list and found the banned "theatlantic.com" on that list, then checked Google to see if the same photo was posted under a non-banned link, and I found this alternate version of that photo or a similar one in the non-FR-banned "thedailybeast.com", and reposted the photo using this new photo link:

"http://cdn.thedailybeast.com/content/dailybeast/articles/2016/04/07/gary-johnson-libertarian-may-be-our-last-hope-as-a-terrible-clinton-trump-choice-looms/jcr:content/image.img.2000.jpg/1460126696313.cached.jpg"
I didn't realize that was a Reuters photo.   Is there something that identifies it as such on those two file names?

It was an online poll. Meaningless.

Agree, but if they used the same methodology, it might reflect an actual shift.

According to the Steve Deace Hate-Fest Thursday night, Trump is doomed, his poll numbers are crashing, and the Gospel of Luke instructs the delegates to vote against Trump.

...”Gee where were you in 2014 ?

The so called lib meda - polls for months were selling this propaganda

KY Gov race the Dems was way ahead - GOP won by 6
GASenate race - It’s was a dead heat , the GOP won by 10
GA Gov. Race - To close yo call - GOP won by 12
NC Senate race - Dem ahead and gaining - GOP won by 5
Fl Gov race - Dems ahead - GOP won
IL Gov race _ - Dem ahead and gaining , GOP won
MA Gov Race - Dem ahead , Gop won
MD Gov race - Dem ahead , GOP won

How come your ignoring all this Left wing media poll propaganda from just two years ago ?
How can you be this wrong and stay employed to cook up polls Unless it’s all for Dem media spin ?

Again your comparing the Final polls spit out by the left wing pollsters and ignoring what they peddled for 5 months like June or May or July ...
Pollster try to cover up there months of DNC push polling with the last poll being the most honest.

Just so posters like you can mock people who witness there months of
Propaganda polling and try to dismiss it.
You misinformation does not work anymore .

You have been served .”...

The people are being destroyed by propaganda. False poll results go all the way back to President Reagan. I remember the media predicting that he would lose big on the very day he won by an incredible landslide. I do not believe anything coming out of the East Coast media. I do think, however, that great corruption of the vote might be in the works this time. That is where those in power who are honest should be putting their energy.

This is just a feeble, last ditch effort to derail Trump's nomination.

They're pulling out all the stops before the convention because they believe he will win in November.

The stark reality is that we are governed by a uniparty. It is the same ultra rich donors who own all career politicians. During Bush-43, republicans had majorities everywhere for 2 years. What did they do? NOTHING! Why do you think middle class jobs have disappeared? Because that makes more profits for the ultra rich donors by exporting manufacturing to cheap labor countries and importing more immigrants to drive down wages here.

Once you understand this stark reality, the fog disappears, and everything becomes clear why things are the way they are.

Yes, if Trump was going to lose in November, the ultra rich donors who own all career politicians, would not care a whit about Trump nomination. By golly you are very astute observer!
