As the presidential race moves into a key two-week period, with the announcement of running mates and the party conventions, Donald Trump has taken an apparent slim lead over Hillary Clinton, based on strong support from white voters, particularly men.
That finding, from a USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Daybreak tracking poll, a new survey that begins publication Friday, marks a significant shift in a race that most polls indicated Clinton has led since mid-May.
It comes amid a flurry of other surveys, both nationally and in battleground states, that show support for the former secretary of State declining since last week when FBI Director James B. Comey characterized her handling of classified material while in that office as “extremely careless.” Comey also said her conduct and that of her aides did not clearly violate the law or warrant prosecution.
What isn’t known is whether the new surveys are capturing Clinton at a low that will prove temporary, as voters react to Comey’s criticism and the renewed attention to her use of a private email server, or whether they reflect a more lasting shift that could hobble the presumed Democratic nominee for the remainder of the campaign.

The poll also offers some support for a prediction that Trump’s backers have made – that he would appeal to disaffected voters who did not cast ballots in 2012. Those who did not vote that year or voted for a minor-party candidate were more likely to favor Trump than Clinton, the poll indicated.

LA Times can’t bring themselves to totally admit that Trump has a lead, so it becomes an “apparent lead”. Is it any wonder we hate them so much?
and an apparent slim one at that...
Apparently, the apparent LA Times doesn’t believe their apparent poll.
It’s over but the crying for Madame Cankles and the crooked left...
Must be a bigger margin than they are projecting - something to do with oversampling of dems? It’s panic time at the liberal disco...
The LA Times says that Evil, Racist White Men hate Hillary. It’s the Ku Klux Klan all over again!
Lots of lamps go air borne this weekend as the valium consumption among liberal losers skyrockets.
By the time we get to November the Ministry of Propaganda won’t be able to hide the tidal wave.
So all of the major polls have it tied or Trump up slightly, all except NBC of course which as to be an outlier where they over sample Dems
They had their mass bombardment of BS and propaganda.
The moment they went over the top expecting an easy walk, there was Trump with his machine guns waiting.
They now know that Hillary cant spend her way to a win, nor can the press dislodge Trump through brute force, and so they are now out of tricks. And the scandal cloud is firmly fixed over her.
This horrible news will have a resounding impact from coast to coast in every bath house in America.
Remember, the more protests and terror attacks, the more likely Mr. Trump WINS. Hillary is bleeding political wise.
Trump 43
Clinton 40
This is the 2nd poll to show him leading, while the NY Times has them tied. That tells me that he’s probably leading by at least 5-10 points if they can’t even rig their own polls to get her ahead.
But, wait, Reuters will poll 75 percent democrats and announce that she’s leading by 20.
Too bad that wasn’t down a steep canyon......or off a building.
Trump’s lead will widen after the convention and will continue to the election.
The Pence pick....
A poll booster, or poll sinker?
A safe choice. It allows Trump to look Presidential in the eyes of the great undecided mushy middle. All he has to do at this point is appear like a sane, viable alternative as the Hildebeast collapses in scandal.
