Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton leads rival Donald Trump by seven percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos national opinion poll taken as the Republican nominee fought off accusations of groping women.
The Oct. 7-13 poll released on Friday shows that 44 percent of likely voters support Clinton while 37 percent back Trump.
That was little changed from Tuesday when the Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Trump trailing by eight points.

Reuters started off with their first general election poll in late July or early August had it D +18.
Perot was running, remember him?
OBTW, the irony of this garbage in garbage out poll is that despite including the entire week since the Trump tapes were released, he’s actually improved a point. Doesn’t matter. Wouldn’t matter if he had improved 30 points. The poll is junk.
Thanks very much. You and others here show the obvious oversampling of Dems and women, etc. This makes Hillary being in the low to mid 40s even after all of that even more laughable.
I have been saying this all along. Hillary cannot get more than the low 40s no matter what she does her only hope is to depress Trumps turnout...
That’s been reality since day one
Yep. Just like in 2012 when we were told all of the polls were off.
Fact is, the population replacement operation is just about complete. In the 80s, the population could elect a strong leader like Reagan because the electorate was mainly white males.
Now, the electorate is third worlders, clueless women, and college kids. We get the leadership we deserve.
Note the bias in the headline. “Grope”
Also, they are all asking the following Q too.
“Have you seen or heard about the tape where Donald Trump talks about sexually assaulting...”
This question has been asked in every poll (national and state) I’ve seen over the past couple of days... Obviously trying to push it out there at the same time taking a poll. Just in case it died down. Such corruption.
You forgot the /sarc
Some robo outfit calls after 9pm and at 6:30 am. We answered once, heard survey and hung up. They keep calling. Similar polls all season. We don’t answer.
Which polls do you believe? Evidently, it isn't the LA Times poll, which shows Trump a mere 0.1% behind Hillary (44.3-44.4) or the Rasmussen poll, which shows Trump with a two-point lead (43-41).
While you're at it, check the compoosition of those polls which you believe in. If they 45D-36R (+9D) like the Fox news poll, which had Hillary ahead by 7 pts, understand that both Independents (which Trump leads) and Republicans were under-sampled. In the Obama-Romney election, the Democrat margin was only +4. And do you think that Democrat turnout for Hillary will exceed the Democrat turnout for Obama?
Especially if 76% of the Trump voters are enthusiastic about voting...while only 65% of the Hillary voters claim to be enthusiastic.
The MSM is running polls that over-sample Democrats for the express purpose of demoralizing the Trump voters. Their strategy appears to have succeeded...with you.

Well said. Great answer.
October/November
Reagan Carter Anderson
40% 44% 9%
39% 45% 9%
47% 44% 8%
Actual result
51% 41% 7%
Yup. People are tired of this juvenile, “Look! That girl says that bad man did a bad thing to that girl!”
I have 150 sources for liberal tripe, which certainly includes daily meaningless polls. Sh*t, it used to be one or two polls every other week. Now its 15 polls every other day.
I don't believe ANY poll except one ...the vote on election day. To the posters who think this somehow benefits us, who are working DILIGENTLY to get Trump elected, I have one word...
BREXIT
Just like the Fox poll yesterday.
Again, probably loaded with Democrats.
Takeaway is Hillary remains stuck in the low 40s.
A generic Democrat would do far better.
And Hillary has already lost a point off her lead in Reuters/Ipsos.
Gropegate isn’t to her benefit, FWIW.
FR Concern trolls worried blatantly biased polls say its over...
So does Charlie Cook BTW. Easy to get taken in by media lies.
For FR Concern trolls: Why isn’t Hillary over 50% in either Fox or Reuters/Ipsos?
Yeah and Hillary has it all wrapped up.
Yep. You are correct. This is a different electorate. Far different than even what existed in 2004. Since 2004 millions of immigrants have flooded in and will vote. And those that haven’t figured out how to get a ballot are likely anchor baby citizens that are now over 18. Add in most young women aren’t getting married and depend on the government welfare state. The electorate that voted in GWBush is in the rear view mirror.
These polls are correct folks. I’m still pulling the lever for Trump come hell or high water on November 8th, but he’s got to figure out some move here other than trying to compare his groping versus Bill Clinton’s on a daily basis.
You are, now go crawl under your bed.
