Fox News Poll: Clinton tops Trump by 6 points

Hillary Clinton remains ahead of Donald Trump with just three weeks until Election Day.

She has a six-point lead over Trump, 45-39 percent, in a new Fox News Poll of likely voters. Clinton was up by seven points last week (45-38 percent) and by two in early October (44-42 percent). Gary Johnson stands at 5 percent and Green Party’s Jill Stein at 3 percent.

In the head-to-head matchup, Clinton’s up by 49-42 percent. It was 49-41 percent at the end of last week (Oct. 10-12).

Clinton’s advantage over Trump is at the edge of the poll’s margin of error in the four-way contest and outside the margin of error in the head-to-head ballot.

The national poll, released Tuesday, was conducted Saturday through Monday. The third and final presidential debate will be moderated by Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace in Las Vegas Wednesday.

Of the respondents, only 18% want illegals deported.

That alone is telling of a non-representative sample.

Worthless poll with over-sampling of demoncrats, no doubt.

Another pro-Hiltery poll, so if she “wins” by 2 percent with vote fraud, they can all say “well she was in the lead in the polls.”

Trump Landslide on the way!

Dems, RINOs, enemies of America (Dems and RINOs again), they’re all throwing all they’ve got and Trump is stronger than ever.

THANK YOU MR.TRUMP FOR DOING THIS FOR AMERICA!

It doesn’t matter what the national polls say. It’s what the polls in the battleground states say. She could be leading him by 20 points, but if he’s winning certain states, he’ll win the election.

the cabal owns the media....if Ponjester can have Politico fax him over a reporters report so he himself can edit it, they will and can and are able to demand certain polls and stats to be slightly changed....

I wouldn't put it past them...

but okay....we knew it was an uphill battle....

WE DON'T GIVE UP....TRUMP WON'T EITHER...

I teach and am the only male at my school. All of the women there are Trump supporters. All of them.

Nowadays, these polls have response rates of less than 10%. In the days of yore, response rates were over 40%.

There's no denying that Republicans are furious, and they're not answering phone calls from pollsters. They're too pissed off to even speak.

To me, given the enthusiasm levels, this is looking a lot like Reagan/Carter. People were angry back then, too, and Reagan really never showed any strength in the polls until the very last minute. Anyone who can remember that time knows that the Media was genuinely surprised at the magnitude of Reagan's victory.

But even in 1980, when the response rates were much higher, they had Reagan trailing almost all the way up to election day.

If there's no "hidden" Trump vote, then this election will behave much like a typical election, and Trump probably won't win. If, on the other hand, this is a "change" election, then the Establishment won't know what hit them.

I honestly don't think we're really going to know what's going on until the night of November 8.

One thing for sure: I don't think any of these polls will cause a single Trump voter to stay home.

We can rest assured that Trump will get the turnout we're anticipating. Conversely, I think scads of tepid Hillary supporters will stay home.

It's quite possible that tomorrow night's debate will also be important. If Trump does well, I think we'll see significant movement in his direction during the final stretch.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

I work in sales and most of us are women and are speaking up on social media and at work about Trump!
The black women despise Trump as a racist. They cannot stand Hillary either because of her past and present lies.
In all we still can speak out and tell them how an outsider like Trump can crush all the corruption in D.C. without it being a race issue.
My little strategy! It’s working on a lot of people.
Well at least they are listening. ;)

“We all lambasted the media last election cycle for bias in the polls, et cetera, and then got soundly defeated. But that was because Willard Romney the open socialist excited absolutely nobody.

This time, any objective measure has Trump with a massive enthusiasm gap.

I don’t know what to think - except to work even harder than ever to tip the election in Trump’s favor. So if that’s what the MSM stooges were trying to do, GOOD JOB!”

Precisely. I remember after Willard lost how everyone lamented at how the polls were actually pretty close to being correct. That was then. There was no enthusiasm other t we didn’t want 0bama again. The enthusiasm dynamic is completely different this time. People cannot wait to get out and vote. Not simply against Hiliary, but FOR Trump. I was just talking with a former coworker yesterday. Female. Life long democrat. Thinks no one should own hand guns and abortion isn’t a man’s business. She’s voting for Trump. She called me up to tell me about how much Hiliary scares her. I asked her about the locker room talk, and she just laughed. Says her husband talks like that with his friends all the time.

Neither of my daughters will admit to being Trump supporters at work. Same with their female, Trump supporting friends. The Monster Vote is alive and well.

I had to pick up a suit today from a store and while the guy was putting it in the bag he asked me how I felt about the election. Not wanting a discussion of politics, I tried to deflect but he would have none of it. So I held back a bit and just said "I don't like the way Washington is run and I don't think another Clinton is going to fix it. She's part of the problem. I'll give Trump a try". He launched into a discussion of how the country isn't a business and Trump can't be trusted, etc. He also got very curt with me. I took my suit and left and won't be back.

But this is why people don't feel like talking about Trump. The lefties are too crazy to have a rational conversation about it.
