Trump Up 2 Points Nationwide, While Clinton Campaigns As If The Race Is Already Won

With 16 days to go until November 8, Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 2 percentage points — 43% to 41% — in a four-way race, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll.

Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson saw his support held steady at 7%, while the Green Party's Jill Stein dipped to 3%.

Unrounded, Trump leads 42.6% to 40.8% — a 1.8-point edge — with Johnson at 7.2% and Stein at 3.3%.

Trump also holds a nearly one-point lead in a two-way matchup — 43.2% to 42.3%.

That's the liberal narrative. They need that "Clinton is/will win" message out there for a couple of reasons.

First, they know from "real" internal polling that Trump is winning and likely to win in a fair election. A big part of this is the massive enthusiasm gap. Look at the rally attendance over the past few weeks. Trump and Pence are drawing crowds many many times the size of Clinton and her cohorts in crime. So the settled-science, er... settled election theme is a standard tactic to try to discourage Trump voters and sway squishy independents to the "winning side."

Second, they have plans to commit massive election fraud. That's not even a question. We know they committed massive fraud in their primary. Anyone realistically think they would do that just in the primary, then take a hands-off let's play this fair attitude in the main? {snort} Because of these plans, well, if everyone was hearing the truth, that Trump is ahead and will likely win ... then boom! On election day Clinton somehow gets all these votes no-one was anticipating... It might cause suspicion. Might ignite a few investigations...raise too many inconvenient questions. Therefore they need everyone to hear how Clinton is ahead, to forestall those suspicions.

obama may have been the most corrupt/criminal President we have ever had by a very large margin. However, it is becoming apparent that as bad as he is, he is a relative noob compared to Clinton. obama may be bad, very bad, but Clinton has a decades long track record, breathtaking arrogance, and a sense of entitlement/privilege that the obamas can't even come close to. I really, honestly did not think it would be possible to have a President worse than bammy. But the more we learn about the Clintons and the walking talking horror show that is Hillary... I'm fairly certain she could surpass bammy as worst ever within a few months, call it a year at most.

You are dead on,
Great Point!!!

I think all the posturing is to make a fake election seem creditable. In the past Republican wins are “allowed” if the goals are the same......which it appears it was!! (Bush)
