HAMDEN — According to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is too close to call.
Clinton, who is expected to be the Democratic nominee, has 42 percent to the presumptive GOP candidate Donald Trump‘s 40 percent. Pollsters said the results were within the margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.
Clinton had a 45 to 41 percent lead at the beginning of June.

oh my, Shrillary is breaking lamps again.....
Huma is desperately trying to console the Queen
This is just code for the left is losing but doesn’t want to talk about it.
Well that new book by that former SS guy must be helping.
Now they have to spin it like she's holding her own.
More meaningless national polls. State polling in battlegrounds like PA, FL, OH and MI are more meaningful as indicators about the state of the race.
But...but....The media told us she’s ahead by 10 points!!!
Does this include the BEN gauze report?
Judge Napaleona just on. Emphasized Hellary’s “secret war”. What is he talking about?

From June 21 - 27, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,610 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.
As did our dozen or so concern trolls in residence.
What is notable, is that the states that actually matter, they are very close.
Thanks. Am on phone —whenever I click on a link it knocks me off FR Bummer
Just wait until after the convention, there’ll be three more people voting for Trump...you know, the Ted Cruz cult still believing that the convention will yield a Cruz candidate. Well, they’ll either vote Trump of drink the Kool Aid to be found on the floor the next day. Can somebody make up three coffins, just in case?
I hope so; in the United States of even 20 years ago this economy would guarantee a Republican landslide, but these numbers really show (as they did in 2012) the disassociation between the employment situation and the people actually casting ballots. The 47% to which Romney preferred has almost certainly grown, and the only way they switch their votes is if the government checks don’t cut it.
I have a friend in NYC-West Village. Right in the belly of the beast. He has Trump buttons and a shirt. He walks around town and a few libs bust on him, but many many people come up and show support on the down low. They’re afraid to fully come out as Trump supporters.
“Just a couple days ago, Hillary had a “commanding lead”. Now they have to spin it like she’s holding her own.”
Not to sound too conspiratorial, but my thoughts on those double-digit Hillary leads were to give a boost to the GOPe to work on getting Trump off the ticket. I based it on the timing and the surrounding events...which were basically neutral for Trump. As I saw it, Trump had a lead and then blew it over the judge. That, along with Hillary pretty much taking care of Bernie, put him down about 5 points. Then the Orlando shooting. Trump didn’t do anything that should have cost him votes - he just repeated is Muslim ban...nothing new or damaging. Then two polls come out saying he’s down 10 and 14 points. Why?
The only reasoning that I had was that it was getting near time to put up or shut up regarding the convention and getting rid of Trump...and the GOPe needed a boost. And anyway, other than comparing those polls to other polls, how does one discredit any poll, unless there’s an election around the corner? So they can publish what they want, and pretty much get away with it.
Good news. The democrats around here want “the wall”. Heroin and Aids being passed by dirty needles are just too common. Other crime rates are also up Our rural communities have had it!
...oh, and one more. The polls in the critical states barely moved in Hillary’s direction. Maybe two points and that was it. A ten, maybe 15, point swing nationally towards Hillary, as the claim was made, should have moved all of the states in her direction, roughly an equal amount - never happened.
Something funny was going on.
What you said, plus registered voters were polled, and not likely voters.
