In all, 44 percent of likely voters say they’d vote for Trump if the election were today, numerically his best since spring. Forty-six percent prefer Clinton, unchanged from an ABC/Post poll early this month and virtually unchanged since June. The 2-point gap between them is not significant, given the survey’s margin of sampling error. The race has closed from an 8-point Clinton lead in early August.
Support for third-party candidate Gary Johnson slipped to a new low, 5 percent in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, with the biggest departure among Republicans and GOP-leaning independents -- thus mainly benefiting Trump.

Yeah, Hillary is toast.
Blowout. This would be embarrassing for the media if they had any sense of shame
How much would this change if the numbers were normalized for D+4?
If it were (almost) anyone else suffering with these obvious medical problems I’d feel sorry for them...not enough for a pity vote but still I would have sympathy. Hillary is so vile and has caused such misery with no remorse that I can’t muster any.
LOL D+10 and Clinton is up 2..gotta love Common Core math, it means Trump is up at least +6
It would roughly be Trump +4.
Here's the actual D/R/I amongst registered and likely voters, buried of course in the second-to-last paragraph of the ABC article.
"This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Sept. 19-22, 2016, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,001 adults, including 651 likely voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect, for the full sample, and 4.5 points for likely voters. Partisan divisions are 33-23-36 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents, in the full sample, and 37-27-28 among likely voters."
D +10 in a national poll like this is absurd.
Probably not accounting for "others" and "refused," Others should generally should be put into Independents, I think. Refused are just refused. You don't usually get 100% with these samples.
Thank you
Still, I could see this going to Trump +2.5 or so, discounting the rest of the biased opinions that forms the basis of this poll.
Trump is def ahead in this poll.. just work of caution- only 651 likely voters nationally, usually over 1,000
Yep, this is going to be a butt kicking on November 8th.
It is shaping up to be R+ 1 through +4.
Needs more sauce to get Hillary back in the lead. Next stop is D+20 because “only a few bitter clingers are still Republicans”.
Interesting that among RV, it’s an exact tie, vs her up 2 with LV...
It’s Sunday in New York. The days are cooler and winter is bearing down on..., Hillary Clinton.
Today and tomorrow she should focus on relishing the fact that she is a viable Presidential contender.
These are the last two days she’ll ever be able to think that, even if she still lies and says it.
By the end of the week, it’s going to turn brutal against her.
It’s over Hillary.
You can use that reservation for the old folks home now.
