The tables have turned in this weeks White House Watch. After trailing Hillary Clinton by five points for the prior two weeks, Donald Trump has now taken a four-point lead.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 43% of the vote, while Clinton earns 39%. Twelve percent (12%) still like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Last week at this time, it was Clinton 44%, Trump 39%. This is Trumps highest level of support in Rasmussen Reports matchups with Clinton since last October. His support has been hovering around the 40% mark since April, but it remains to be seen whether hes just having a good week or this actually represents a real move forward among voters.
Trump now earns 75% support among his fellow Republicans and picks up 14% of the Democratic vote. Seventy-six percent (76%) of Democrats like Clinton, as do 10% of GOP voters. Both candidates face a sizable number of potential defections because of unhappiness with them in their own parties.
Clinton appears to have emerged relatively unscathed from the release this week of the House Select Committee on Benghazis report on her actions as secretary of State in connection with the murder of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans by Islamic terrorists in September 2012. Rasmussen Reports will be releasing new numbers on Clinton and Benghazi at 10:30 a.m. Eastern today.

“Likely Voters”
Boom!!!
“After trailing Hillary Clinton by five points for the prior two weeks, Donald Trump has now taken a four-point lead”
Nice.....9 point swing
10% GOP voters for Clinton!!
Difficult to fathom.
Polls are all over the place, and as the Brexit poll fiasco showed,they are wholly unreliable.
That said, I’m pleased to see Trump in the lead for once.

Don’t believe polls....the KEY to a VICTORY is ..GO VOTE AND TAKE as many folks with you to the voting booth!!!!
Cruzies voting for Hillary to make a point.
Pray America wakes
“Trump leads by 18 points, but 28% of these voters like some other candidates or are undecided.”
Looks like Trump is winning with Indies...and has room to grow. Really..how many voters who are not voting for Clinton can be convinced to support her? Trump on the other hand has no no where to go but up..looks like Paul Manafort is the best move Trump has made.
...Dont believe polls..
Don’t sweat the polls good or bad.
Rasmussen blew it in 2012. Nate Silver has been wrong about his Trump conclusions 7 times so far during his campaign.
November is the only poll that matters.
Outside of the MOE!
I am very concerned about a “no criminal referral” by Comey that would surely energize Clinton.
Lynch’s meeting with Lynch must be the impetus for any courageous rep. to demand an independent prosecutor, if not in reality than at least for effect.
Let’s see if this poll gets the same attention from the MSM that the ABC poll did.
“Lynch’s meeting with Clinton”
“November is the only poll that matters.”
I agree but it is very important to see Trump ahead in these polls, not so much for us, but for the fence sitters.
If you remember what Paul Manafort said before the NorthEast and PA primaries; Trump will win those easily and the momentum will carry him in Indiana and beyond. I think it is even more important now because of the onslaught of negative press Trump is enduring. Everybody likes a winner and nothing sells better than knowing your neighbor’s and friends have already bought.
Go Trump!
The audacity of this in-your-face contempt for the rule of law by Lynch is disgraceful. I don’t know why Donald Trumps rapid response team is not hammering this private meeting.
When you think in terms that we have a politically correct globalist uniparty, heads full of mush can easily switch back and forth. The Presidential election is a fashion show to them. It’s like voting for prom king and queen.
If Trump was not challenging unfair trade, illegal immigration and Muslim refugees, Hillary would be walking away with the uniparty election.
As I and others have stated many times;
I trust none of the polls at this stage of the Lying Season.
I trust my gut and the poll taken on November 8.
My gut tells me, regardless what I want, there is no way in Hell, the establishment is going to allow Trump or anyone to upset their apple cart, if they can possibly prevent it. There is simply too much money and power at stake.
We need to just look back to the 2014 Mississippi Senate election. McDaniel beat Cochran hands down. Cochran is still in the Senate or at least his name is on the desk. My guess is he is a Senator in the same way Wilson was President after his stroke.
Next watch what McCain does and is doing to Keli Ward. There is no way in Hell, that power and money will be allowed to be wielded by an honest woman whom is answerable to the voters.
