Donald Trump gained on Hillary Clinton among American voters this week, cutting her lead nearly in half despite a string of women accusing him of unwanted sexual advances and the furor over his disputed claims that the election process is rigged, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.

The survey also showed that 63 percent of Americans, including a third of Republicans, believe the New York real estate mogul has committed sexual assault in the past, though the Republican presidential candidate has denied the recent accusations.

Clinton, the Democratic former secretary of state, led Trump 44 percent to 40 percent, according to the Oct. 14-20 poll, a 4-point lead, with the Nov. 8 election fast approaching. That compared with 44 percent for Clinton and 37 percent for Trump in the Oct. 7-13 poll released last week.

Clinton’s lead also shrank in a separate four-way poll that included alternative party candidates: 43 percent supported her, while 39 percent supported Trump, 6 percent supported Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and 2 percent supported Jill Stein of the Green Party. …

He will get more than 40% no matter what these phony polls say. The late deciders are beginning to roll in.

Pray America wakes

Democrats “hide the decline” in more ways than one.

Maybe because when some respondents head it phrased as “sexual assault”, they hung up and invalidated the poll, so sampling may have become lopsided.

The media still doesn’t realize the only “furor” created by their dumping on Trump is people that would not vote for him anyway.

4+ lead with an overloaded D + sample.

Not good for the Witch Of Chappaqua.

If this is the best Reuters/Ipsos can do, Hillary is done.

Overplayed their hand with the lying women deal. She's going to lose this election and it won't be anyone's fault but hers.

She just lies way, way too much

A competitive election always sees changes in momentum as you get closer to the election day.I just hope it is not to early that we see another one swing back to the witch.

Polling organizations are structuring their polls to reflect a Zeno’s Paradox situation. Trump is always gaining but Mrs Bill is always ahead by a shrinking amount. The polls will finally accurately reflect the official vote count on the last day when Barak Hussein’s Election operatives send the word just what totals are to be announced.

What furor indeed! Even Mika Brezenski told the Clinton buttboysHarold Ford and Mike Barnicle to stop with feigned outrage over the refusal of Trump to concede the election last Wednesday -

Mrs Clinton has peaked at about 35% if you take out the oversampling of rats. I figure Trump is actually up by 8-11%

A thousand at the rally, probably only a third were amateurs. The rest are professionals who got paid for their work.

Trump will win. Here’s why.

Reuters/Ipsos basically showed the race is tied.

A generic Democrat would have put the race away months ago and Hillary didn’t.

Her shills won’t acknowledge its over - for her.

If we can keep him hammering on the issues the election becomes somewhat more expensive for the Democrats. Bribe money has to be spread around more. More professional voters have to be hired.

Hillary will be lucky to break 40%.

She needs her base to win and its not gonna turn out for her in the numbers she needs.

Trump’s base is gonna turn out bigly.

At this point, crooked polls don’t matter.

The only furor is in the newsrooms.

My definition of a sexual assault means someone was raped, not touched, or even grabbed, and Mr. Trump has denied committing those lesser actions anyway.

Gloria Allred, the scuzball, is trying to give Mr. Trump the Herman Cain treatment.

Rapes are part of Bill Clinton’s world.

Hillary’s world is bullying, harassing, and intimidating the women who were a victim of her sick husband’s crimes.
