Poll: Donald Trump Chips Away at Hillary Clinton's National Lead
NBC News ^ | 8/30/16 | Hannah Hartig, John Lapinski and Stephanie Psyllos

Posted on 08/30/2016 9:50:09 AM PDT by CaptainK

Hillary Clinton's national lead over Donald Trump has narrowed slightly to 6 points, according to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll

Clinton now enjoys 48 percent support, while Trump holds steady with 42 percent. Last week, Clinton led Trump by 8 points. The latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll was conducted online from August 22 through August 28 among registered voters.

The one group that is open to changing their minds are registered Independents who do not lean toward either party. Trump has made inroads with this group. Two weeks ago, Clinton led Trump by 8 points among this key group of persuadable voters — 40 percent to 32 percent. This week, that lead is down to just 4 points — 37 percent to 33 percent.

What #####ing chip?!?!!

This is the biggest bag of bull##### I’ve read yet.

Daily tracking polls have him up or at WORST even.

Some polls should be banned from FR as worthless propaganda.

Will she really debate him? I still think she is going to cancel due to “health reasons”.

If they have to carry her out on a gurney, she will debate. To not debate will prove she is physically unfit to run.

I think this whole poll narrative was scripted many months ago. I imagine it’s supposed to end with Hillary winning in a “close race”, with winning votes emerging from the ether.

I doubt that Trump will stay on script, though, which is why they get so mad at him.

Cause it’s still a lie. WHY would I ever be happy about a lie?

Is that what we’ve come to as conservatives.

“oh, NBC/CBS/ABC/CNN is only lying a little!!! I’ll take it!!!”

#### That.

TRump is up three in daily LA Times tracking poll.

This is garbage.

NBC was one of the fake polls that got caught admitting in a hacked Email to the DNC that it cheated so who gives a shiite what they have to say?

Skipping the debates would be disastrous for Hillary's campaign, and there's no way her friends in the media can come up with a plausible explanation for her absence. I don't doubt that Hillary has some health issues, but I am not relying on that to ensure a Republican victory. Hillary be be at the debates, and she will hold up just fine for the entire 90 minutes. I don't care what the polls say. Take nothing for granted. Hillary is in the race to stay, and is in it to win it. We must be prepared to respond accordingly to every dirty trick the left tries to throw at us. Don't let up. Take no prisoners. We must be prepared to fight for every single vote right up until the polls close on election day.

They won't. She's not getting anywhere near a stage with him on it. Blue Flu, what he said is too outrageous to dignify....she'll find some excuse to wiggle-out.

Freepers need to be aware of the worthless propaganda that's out there. Let's not shut our eyes to what much of the voting public is hearing and seeing.

She is also unfit to debate. Her pat responses are: 1) the two-minute cackle, and 2) the blatant lie. Sometimes a combo of the two. He will own her, I think. She won’t do a press conference; you think she wants to expose herself in a debate?

The witch can sit there bold faced lie and show no emotion. That’s my concern. She been at it for years and is good at it.

And with Moderators like Candy Crowley that will sit there and back her lies up, DT better have his facts strait and be ready to call them on the carpet for spreading their Bull$#it. I can see it devolving into a shouting match very quickly

“Skipping the debates would be disastrous for Hillary’s campaign, and there’s no way her friends in the media can come up with a plausible explanation for her absence.”

Very true.
If Pickles tries to skip the debates her campaign is over.
Trump would kill her with every ad, speech and rally.

“If she can’t face me for a ninety minute debate, how is she going to face Putin? With another reset button?
How is she going to face China, Islamic terrorism, illegal aliens, the terrible, terrible deficits?”
And the list goes on and on.

Politically, she debates or she dies.
