... The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch survey shows Clinton taking a four-point lead over Trump – 42% to 38% - among Likely U.S. Voters. Fifteen percent (15%) still prefer some other candidate, while five percent (5%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
A week ago, it was Clinton 39%, Trump 38%. The race has essentially been tied in Rasmussen Reports surveys since last October. Trump had his best showing a month ago, leading Clinton 42% to 37%. The latest finding is Clinton’s high to date. ...

I watched 13 Hours last night. During the whole movie in the back of my head I kept hearing Hillary say.....I went to bed.
IMO Trump should have made way more of democrat party supporters waiting outside of a Trump event and beating people as they left.
This is unprecedented in modern American history and shows who the left/hillary supporters are.
Political capital that was mostly wasted.
I saw the movie in a theater. You could sense the frustration and anger of the audience after it was over.
Hillary wants us to believe she can protect the country, yet she couldn’t even protect an ambassador despite plenty of advance warnings about his vulnerability.
Not paying attention to these polls till the end of September because IMO they are meaningless.
Dead cat bounce for Hitlery?
“My friends, my businesses have always been diverse, because I choose the best people - and the best people come from all walks of life. I have no prejudices or biases, except for honesty, hard work, and integrity - which as your President, working for you, I will demand from everyone in government - Republican or Democrat, woman or man, irrespective of race, color, background etc. Building a wall has nothing to do with racism, at any level and in any way. National borders aren’t about racism. They are about sovereignty and protecting all the people of your nation, whatever their background, race or heritage. Protecting the United States is the most important function of the President, the Commander in Chief, after all.”
“When I made my comments about judge Curiel, they were not made because he has a Mexican heritage from his parents. I think that’s wonderful. My comments about fairness were made because he has personally identified himself with groups connected to an ideology that believes large swaths of the US Southwest belong to Mexico, and who do not believe we have a right to have a border as such. He is aligned with groups who believe we should have an open southern border, and an amnesty approach to those who came here illegally. I have been very adamant and consistent about my position, which is that we have a right to have secure borders, both southern and northern, and to require and demand that people only come here legally. It’s the only way to ensure our safety, and to prevent our goodwill and compassion from being used to hurt us.
To call this racist is so very wrong, and is motivated by the same deceitful aspect of politics that has left so many of you disillusioned. Finally, just to clarify, Mexico is a country, not a race, just like America is a county, not a race. Let’s not let those who for various reasons want to diminish our sovereignty twist the facts to fit their agenda.”
Excellent.
Rasmussen sold his Polling firm to a big media outfit so Buyer Beware !
This smells to high heaven .
Any poll with 15 % for Other is a Push Poll cooked up for the US Dem
media Never Trump Push .
It's where banned Freepers migrate to engage in group denial-fest or wallow in self pity because the mean old Trumpster branded St. Cruz the liar that he is. They have an open-door policy that lets any FR refugee in -- whether they're a disruptive troll or not. If you're a Trump supporter don't bother going there, you wouldn't like it. They are mostly #NeverTrump. Trying to reason with them is like talking to a tree stump.
That would make a great bumper sticker and/or t-shirt.
Absolutely right. But we also have to fight in every state, and not concede half the country like Minion did.
Rasmussen sold his polling firm but use his name.
Forgot who bought it but I recall alarm bells went off.
Like I stated any poll with 15 % assigned to other is pure BS !
It’s within the margin of error, which makes it essentially a tie. It’s only natural that Clintoon would get a bounce this week. But it’s a pretty weak bounce. This poll shows that not much has changed in the race.
No, don’t get into the “ah, I don’t trust the polls” mentality. While they all have to be balanced out, on the whole they have usually been right. Yes, they were wrong about Trump in IA and OK, were low on Trump in NY, completely missed Sanders in MI.
But on the whole they have been in the general area.
We have polls showing Trump slightly ahead. We have polls showing him and Cankles tied. And we have polls showing her ahead. These will ebb and flow. As long as Trump is within MOE with a VERY large undecided and Cankles VERY high unfavorables, he has a chance of not only swinging ahead but way ahead.
I think the OP is here on a requiting mission...
How do you explain Trump's 15 state strategy? He's either conceding 70% of the states, or taking them for granted, isn't he?
America - sliding down the toilet one flush at a time.
It’s going to be a bitter, nasty, painful election. Period. VPs could decide this election. Trump and Clinton need to pick someone safe as their VP. I would advise Trump to pick Tim Pawlenty or John Thune as VP. The attention will be on Donald anyway, so pick a vice president who will not rock the boat or distract. Put Pawlenty or Thune in IA, WI, OH, and let Trump focus on Florida. Period.
We were cheering when this poll said Trump was up 5% several weeks ago.
I thought we learned that lesson from 2012 when we didn't believe polls we didn't like.
No way to debunk any of the polls right now. I do agree most Americans are stupid now and that is why Hillary is assured of at least 48% of the vote.
As far as poll watching goes, wait until after the conventions to get an idea of where the race is going.
Gore did win his home state: DC. But he only got two electoral votes out of it because one of the three jaybirds had to cast a protest vote. Remember that?
