Washington (CNN) — Hillary Clinton's edge over Donald Trump is dwindling in New Hampshire, a new Monmouth University poll shows.
Clinton leads the GOP nominee by 4 percentage points, within the poll's 4.9-point margin of error and an apparent decrease from the 9-point edge she enjoyed in Monmouth's September survey.

Trump train coming.
And a Monmouth University poll at that.
The dam is breaking. You can feel it.
LOL, I am one of the more skeptical Freepers, with realistic expectations, and I am often purposely pessimistic, to temper my expectations, but THIS poll is huge, if he is that close in NH. Obama won by 5.6 last time... if he continues closing.....
And expect Trump to get at least another electoral vote in Maine.
No surprise. The polls always narrow as we get closer to election day. The polls must now deal with the reality on the ground so as not to loss all credibility.
Meanwhile, PA moves to RCP “tossup” status, as Trump has narrowed the average to 4.4%.
Maybe. But this could be bait to draw Trump to NH for those 4 electoral votes and away from bigger fish.
I don’t trust the media. Let Trump decide where to go.
I read “Poll Finds Shrinking Head” and thought someone must have noticed Hillary’s mental problems.

This is what Rush Limbaugh talked about a few weeks ago. He says some interesting things...
Many pollsters are conflicted - they are elitist, left-leaning, usually Democratic, and get a lot of business from Government. They will participate in the voter suppression schemes by tweaking samples and analysis, to show Clinton, or the favored leftist position, in the lead.
But they also very much want, and need to be, correct - in the long run, no one hires a pollster who is always wrong and is a proven political hack.
So in the final 1-2 weeks before the election, they will start to adjust their polls to show the actual situation.
Well, it will be worth watching to see if any rats desert the ship. Remember those who do this (psy op propaganda) polling for a living don’t want to end up being the “most inaccurate poll of 2016” if they expect to stay in business.
Monmouth - who knows? Their director already got caught cheating and lied about it so I ignore everything they say ragardless.
And since he is NH, stop down to Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island
Take the north east
GMTA and type at the same time ;-)
NH, PA and CO are the three states the Trump campaign has identified to go after hard. The campaign says it only needs one of those states to put it over 270 assuming it holds its lead current in the other states.
The polls were always phony - now the pollsters are forced to publish realistic polls in order to maintain credibility
Maybe her national poll lead is due to higher support in deep blue states and her doing slightly better in deep red states like Utah and Texas. Those changes are probably not going to be enough to flip any electoral votes.
The swing states tend to be heavier on blue collar whites, which could be how Trump wins them even if he loses ground in lefty states and in Christian conservative states. This mix could be weird enough that Hillary wins the popular vote but loses the electoral. Liberals hate Trump more than they hated McCain and Romney, this is the first Republican candidate that deeply religious people have an objection to, and yet he may appeal to a new constituency of “anti-globalist” types.
If this is an election where there will be a popular vote/electoral vote result split, this is one where the state polls really may mean a lot more than the national polls.
...the incredible shrinking shrew.
Trump Train - Get on it or get under it.
