Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leads Republican rival Donald Trump by 4 percentage points, and her recent bout with pneumonia doesn't appear to have scared away her supporters, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
The Sept. 9-15 tracking poll showed that 42 percent of likely voters supported Clinton while 38 percent backed Trump. Clinton, who has mostly led Trump in the poll since the Democratic and Republican national conventions ended in July, regained the advantage this week after her lead briefly faded in late August.

Exactly the response they were going for. Demoralize and discourage. Snap out of it man.
Trumps rallies are huge, while Hillarys are very small. Also, I am seeing NO Hillary bumper stickers and yard signs, when I saw a lot of democrat signs in the past elections. Today I saw t shirts worn for Trump.
Not sure this means anything, but I see NO energy in Hillary or for Hillary.
And for the first time in about 6 or7 presidential elections we have a republican candidate who has energy and is fighting back for a change.
And Trump is as tough as the Honey Badger.

But the MOE of polls is misleading. Its just a raw calculation on the number of people in the sample. It does not take into account whether the people in the sample accurately reflect the people who will vote. How to make up the sample is a guessing game, and some polls are likely doing it better than others. Who is doing it best we will see on Nov 8.
“How much do you want to bet they increased their Democrat sample?”
Better odds are that they just pull the numbers out of thin air. Much like the credibility of “unnamed sources”.
I wonder if there is a web site that estimates ones clothing size by pasting a photo. That would be interesting to find.
I find this "polling explorer" awful.
Nonetheless..
In their sample of "likely voters" 23% voted for Romney, 30% voted for Obama. That's not at all close to the actual percentages in 2012, it favors Obama by a lot.
But here's the kicker....
47% of their "likely voters" didn't vote for ANYONE in 2012!
What kind of "likely voter" sample is that?
Yes! Their poll is complete Bulls***!!
No way she’s 5’6”... She’s 5’2” or 5’3” tops
I think this is what’s known as “whistling past the Clintonyard”...
And sicker, too... :)
Rooooters started their weekly poll 2 months ago with D +19%.
Just another member of the lying press.
F.A.C.T. = (Fiction Abetting Clinton’s Thugs)!
Folks, we're gonna need a bigger manure fork.
That poll list of yours sorta reminds me of the global warming hockey stick graphs, pure methane from another dimension.
Polls are snapshots in time. The only other poll that “says the opposite” is the USC/LAT poll. I met with are person “involved” with this poll today. I’ll go into details tomorrow, when this poll is released, but this person, someone with the highest credentials, stands by the USC methodology, citing its accuracy in several local and state elections, as well as the 2012 national election. He also said to expect the polls to tighten again. The Reuters poll may be evidence of this. We’ll see tomorrow.
All other polls are now days old.
With this poll they know they will get free publicity as all the media will now use it for their standard for about a week. Truth does not matter.
Push polls sell an agenda.
They have nothing to do with reality.
The pollsters behind them won’t get accurate until late October.
Basically, this poll is intended to drive down GOP turnout.
There’s zero enthusiasm for Hillary.
With her takeaway of 42% here, she hasn’t moved the needle in two months.
She’s done, no matter what Reuters-Ipsos says.
Gaslighting pneumonia.
