Republican presidential nominee is continuing to narrow Hillary Clinton's lead on him, also topping several national polls, a turnaround from the Democrat's previous lead.
In a four-way poll by IBD/TIPP Tracking including Gary Johnson and Jill Stein released on 21 October, Trump is leading Clinton with 41 points to her 40, while the same poll by Rasmussen Reports has Trump leading Clinton by two points, Real Clear Politics reported.
A head-to-head race by LA Times/USC Tracking has Trump leading by one point on 45 to Clinton's 44 points, although a two-way poll by IBD/TIPP Tracking has Clinton ahead by two points with 43 to Trump's 41.
Another poll by Reuters/Ipsos has Trump behind Clinton by four points – a gain of three points for the Republican compared to the same poll two weeks ago.
However, one of the polls in which Trump has consistently polled well – the LA Times/USC Tracking survey – takes data differently from other polls and as such is often at odds with other polls.
That data collected by Reuters also suggests Trump's suggestion the election is rigged is playing well with his supporters, despite a backlash following his suggestion at the final presidential debate that he may not accept the election result....

Ahhh. Somebody is catching on why he’s setting this narrative.
I doubt it.
His poll numbers are on the increase because people are waking up - just not all at the same time.
The benefit is two-fold:
1 - energize his voters through fear that they must get out and overcome the fraud
2 - expose the DNC corruption so there is support if legal challenges are needed
3D Chess
Maybe he is focusing the nation’s eyes on the media rigged polls and asking questions?
Pray America wakes
False premise, but thanks for the free promotion.
We have always known that Democrats cheat.
This time we are determined to overwhelm the cheating.
We have a winner...DING DING DING....
I keep looking for this backlash. What does a backlash look like? It has to be more than just a bunch of people on Faux News and CNN telling us there is one.
Or maybe that is indeed what a backlash actually is. I guess if 4 talking heads tell us then that would be a severe backlash. Heaven forbid.
If I'm reading those talking heads correctly the very worst kind of a backlash is the one we are seeing now - one that helps Trump. That's a Heaven Forbid++ Backlash.
His poll numbers are on the increase because these polls need to be accurate in the end. It will be hard to explain the huge leap in the poll numbers the last week if they do not start easing that way now. They have propped her up as much as they can.
Two new Trump signs on my street. In the bay area no less!
3. The system is rigged. We all know it is rigged. Now Trump says it is rigged.
Ummm...maybe because there is massive and incontrovertible EVIDENCE of election-rigging by the left? That the government doesn’t seem terribly concerned about?
Mark my words: When Trump wins, expect MASSIVE whining from the left about how the Rooskies rigged the election.
The Demo primary was rigged. Chances are the general election will be too.
HILLARY RALLY TONIGHT IN CLEVELAND.
they are using D+ turnout of 2012 in polling - not going to happen! they turnout for Obama but not for her - Trump has the turnout factor this cycle
Just remember that Clinton is not just running to win. She is running to stay out of jail, as are her compatriots.

No, the polls want to maintain credibility, so I suspect that they have done all they can for her and have changed their sample population to one more in tune with the current electorate. I don’t expect to see any more polls out of AZ with a +37 Dem oversample anymore.
