With less than two weeks to go, the race for the White House has narrowed as Hillary Clinton now has a three-point advantage over Donald Trump. That’s within the margin of error of the national Fox News Poll of likely voters. Clinton is ahead of Trump by 44-41 percent. Another one-in-ten back a third-party candidate and four percent are undecided. Last week she was up by six points (45-39 percent) and before that by seven (45-38 percent). Related Image Fox Poll 1Expand / Contract The poll, released Wednesday, finds Clinton leads 49-44 percent in the head-to-head matchup. That 5-point advantage is at the edge of the error margin. She was up 7 a week ago (49-42 percent).

All these pollsters need to come back to earth so they don’t look ridiculous. ABC dropped 4 points also
& SONS
Won’t Kelly still be carrying on about the non existent sex scandals? I can’t bear to watch her anymore, so I really don’t know. Just hazarding a guess that she’ll keep that idiotic storyline going into oblivion if she can.
... the race for the White House has narrowed ..."
So I knew instantly that the election was near. Polls only narrow in the last week or so. But, more importantly, they ALWAYS NARROW IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO.
And even more importantly than that, they ALWAYS SHOW THE REPUBLICAN CLOSING A HUGE GAP THAT IS SO BIG THAT IT WAS WIDELY BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE COULD POSSIBLY WIN.
And there is more: The Media Talking Heads (MTH) are always totally mystified as to how this happened. Even the great Nate Silver is mystified. Surprising I've yet to find a Freeper who is surprised by any of this. But I'll keep looking.
I don’t give a damn what Fox News has to say about anything.
They could show Trump up by 5 or Hillary up by 30. I wouldn’t care. Their poll is trash. All MSM polls come from the same garbage heap as the MSM.
The rig will not be enough to stop the tidal wave. The early voting trend is high and does not favor the Beast. Think of it like Bastille Day and 1788 France. This is a revolution very similar against both the politics and culture.
That poll is just ridiculous.
Polling simply is irrelevant this cycle. There is a 15 point spread from LA Times to AP.
All that tells me is they can not poll this race. It could be anywhere from her +10, to Trump +10.
“Picked up 9 points in 3 days!”
It’s all bogus. You don’t get a major shit like that in days this late in a race.
Not unless Bill & Hillary get caught with a 12 year old girl in bed.
Even then, the shift would only be about 10 points. ;)
People are not listening to their whine. They want their heads on pikes.
I see what you did there.
Let’s see, 24/7 attacks on Trump everywhere and he gains. Hmm
Good grief. So they are trying unwind their biased poll?
Pikes... We’re not there yet, but soon, I hope.
Fox news does not have a good track record of being very accurate. They over sample also.
“Only 17% Ind. 2012 had 29% Ind.”
Dems +7 and Independents at 17%. That just shows how bogus the poll is. In the real world Trump is probably ahead by a few if not more.
This is the time when the propaganda polls begin to better reflect reality so that the Liberal Media and the pollsters can claim legitimacy. The polls are still BS, just not as much.
Landlines?
Got rid of mine in 1996.
Blow out. Voter turn out.
