Trump Lead Widens To 2, T43 to C41, His Biggest Yet in IBD/TIPP Poll
IBD ^ | November 7, 2016 | IBD

Posted on 11/07/2016 2:49:20 AM PST by FlyingFish

With one day to go, Donald Trump extended his lead over Hillary Clinton, 43% to 41%, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll. That comes after a third bombshell from FBI Director James Comey, who announced Sunday he would not indict Clinton for her email scandal.

Trump's two-point lead now matches his largest so far during the 20 days of polling.

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets 6% of the vote, Green Party candidate Jill Stein just 2%.

In a two-way matchup that excludes the two third-party candidates, however, Clinton still holds a 43% to 42% lead over Trump, with 9% of those responding saying they were "unsure" for whom they would vote.

The unrounded poll numbers give Trump a 2.4 percentage point advantage over Clinton in the four-way race, 43.1% to 40.7%. Trump and Clinton had essentially been deadlocked for four days through Friday, but Trump moved into the lead Saturday and widened it on Sunday on a steady drumbeat of news surrounding Hillary Clinton's emails.

Also in the unrounded tally, Johnson now has 6.3% to Stein's 2.2%.

The poll of 1,026 likely voters reflects a weighted response of 319 Democrats, 322 Republicans and 314 Independent and "other" voters. It has a margin of error of +/-3.1 percentage points. The results are now based on the latest four days of polling.

Pray without ceasing that God will show us mercy and work this miracle before our eyes, to enable our nation to repent of its wicked ways and seek His face, to give grace and humility to Donald Trump and Mike Pence so that they are enabled to become our next President and Vice President, that our nation may prosper and be delivered from judgement, that we may be a blessing to all of our citizens as well as all of our neighbors in the world.

Oddly, IBD asks the two person race question first, a race that does not even exist and can clearly bias subsequent questions. Other polls do just the opposite.

Assuming only Hispanics are energized? Trump supporters are equally energized if not more.

In the voting booth, the voter sees the two major party candidates at the top of the ballot.

So maybe this item sequence makes sense.

“That headline was hyperbolic, a weekend increase of 13,000...not a huge deal considering the number of voters in Miami\Dade. Not whistling past the graveyard here, but let’s not mine for stories to buttress are negativity, shall we?”

Well that’s good to hear. For the record however I wasn’t
mining for anything. I was working at my desk drinking my coffee and heard it said on TV. Whether it was kimeade or some other reporter, I’m not sure but they claimed those two counties had a record early voter turnout yesterday. If it’s just propaganda...GREAT...but it was said.

Maybe FR should just become a rightwing circle jerk where we all talk about how Trump is going to crush it and no need to vote. Some people here freak out over any story that doesn’t support that narrative.

Are we unable to keep it real and remain optimistic??? I thought that’s what separates us from the dums.

Good news!

In 2012, Obozo won Ohio because he won Hamilton County. Rats bused in tons of blacks who lined up at the BOE for hours to vote. I work 6 blocks north of the BOE and passed it every day. I swear I never saw a white person in line.

Yesterday they were all white.

White voters in Hamilton County are overwhelmingly GOP.

“Welcome news..........”..........

Although the “news” is favorable, the poll is nothing more than another dart thrown and a “target board”, hoping for a bulls eye. Day after tomorrow will be the only poll that counts.

If they are willing to oversamplensure (lie) about turnout, demographics, etc....why would they not fabricate internals too? Something to keep in mind regardless of how much or how little you like a particular result.

Hard to see a de facto incumbent pulling this out with 41% of the vote.

It is the day before the election. There is no way 9% still don't know who they will vote for. "Shall I vote to drain the swamp or swim it? Gee, I just don't know." I'm betting that many of the people who say "don't know" are really "afraid-to-say". My bet is they break for the outsider, Trump.

*caution* this is one of those rare polls that has SLIGHTLY more Republican voters than Demon Rat.

If by slightly, you mean 3 more people...

Party identification breakdown:(Unweighted) 328 Democrats/361 Republicans/314 Independents; (Weighted) 319/322/314. Results in table above are based on weighted sample.

“Nevada is gone”

LOL.

Trump is leading in the latest Nevada polls.

But the Hillary camp is spreading anecdotal evidence of high turnout in Hispanic areas during early voting.
