I block all calls from area code 202 (Washington DC) because I am fairly confident that the President of the United States is not going to be calling me.

The tables have turned in this week’s 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 Trump’s 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 he’s 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 Benghazi’s 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.

Difficult to fathom.
Not too surprising given the continued opposition Trump among so many conservative pundits and commentators.
No, there are GOPe types on @NRO who are full scale elitists.
You mean the one where Clinton reminder Lynch that her children still have their kneecaps.
“Cruzies voting for Hillary to make a point.”.....
They will soon get the point when if she does win.
If you watch Faux News you’ll see that 10% Republicans for Hillary in action.
Tables turned? Or one poll uninfluenced by Hilly’s Saudi fund? Little difference...advance the colors ;)
Large undecided/None of the Above will swing towards Trump, the de facto challenger after rigth years of Obama. HRC has NO upside. Turnout among minorities will be tepid, and not overwhelmingly HRC.
Downticket can go anywhere.
Thank God.
The take home lesson here is clear: keep hammering Hillary with her own lies and deceit. Be relentless in this. Never stop, even if the media wants to sway the campaign away from these points.
The media will undoubtedly manufacture some other “controversy”. Don’t be distracted. Keep up the offense against Hillary! The slumbering public must be made aware of her constant skullduggery. Keep it up, sail into and out of the convention.
And for goodness sakes Ryan et al need to shut the heck up.
If it’s not close they can’t cheat.
I get at least a half dozen calls a week from pollsters. Its getting annoying.
I block all calls from area code 202 (Washington DC) because I am fairly confident that the President of the United States is not going to be calling me.
My assumption is that 90% of that 10% of GOP voters are females, who will vote solely on the basis of matching plumbing.
Islamic terrorists are Trump’s best campaign assets.
Entropy has a way of forcing things back to reality....Hard as they try to boost Hillary, too many are paying real attention, for a damn change, and it hinders the propagandists.
make it so!!!
The sad thing with this poll is the missing 17 or so percent and that normally means the dead beats who are not polled but will vote commie to keep getting their free gov handouts. So, put those 17% of votes in Hillary’s bag.
Note that off all the polls in the RCP average, this is the only one using LVs. Of course that raises the question as to the effectiveness of the likely voter screen the pollster uses....note also that Rasmussen missed it bad in 2012. Had Romney up in the final poll, not by much, but still. It was a miss.
So...hard to make a perfect interpretation of this June poll....but regardless, it helps big time to work against the media/DNC narrative that she has already won it.
Rasmussen’s final numbers in 2012 explained:

We also have to remember...nationally, Romney got 48% and obama got 50%. State by state it looked worse, but we have to remember...Romney was close nationally.
How can it be that Trump will do less than 48%? The only way that happens is if Trumps miserably fails to unify the GOP and that failure is not offset by Reagan dems coming over. That “could” happen...but I’m not certain that it will happen.
Trump is in this. He has a chance. It ain’t over yet hillary!
Not really. That is the anti-The Donald RINOs voting.
Not so hard to believe given the traitors and jerk-offs like George Will have come out for Hillary. In can see Republican women voting for Hillary and men who like Bernie voting for Trump. Also other guys who would vote Democrat will not vote for Her Heinous Hillary and will vote Trump because he is an alpha guy.
According to the liberal media’s polls Hillary is up ahead by double digits. You can’t make up this shit. Of course Rasmussen in a bit more credible.
Same thing happened in England. According to the liberal media they were going to vote to stay in the EU by a landslide.
