The tables have turned in this week’s White House Watch. After trailing Hillary Clinton by five points for the prior two weeks, Donald Trump has now taken a four-point lead.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 43% of the vote, while Clinton earns 39%. Twelve percent (12%) still like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided....

I was just reading this - I hope it’s true!

When I looked at the pics of the Trump rally in Bangor, then the Clinton rally, I have to wonder what’s going on. How can Clinton even be close to Trump in the polls?

I can hear Lefties howl: TRUMP IS CHEATING!!!

And you know, if a Republican wins, its because of a dumbed down electorate, vote fraud and they bought into it.

Ras is one of the few that polls “likely voters” at this point of the campaigns.

This is getting a screaming headline on Drudge this morning.

The "ups and downs" of these polls is a bunch of noise created by the mainstream media who desire to drive the narrative of a "horse race" from now until November.

-4 one day, +5 another day. What nonsense.

Remain steady and keep our eyes on the prize. Don't get distracted.

More seriously, note this is a poll of LV as opposed to the more common RVs every one else is using.

This is much closer to the truth - essentially the race is at best a dead heat.

And Trump is supposed to be wiped out by an LBJ style landslide in November.

Yeah, sure.

I think the same thing.

One possible explanation: the MSM aren’t reporting on the war, they’ve taken sides.

Truth is the first casualty in war.

It’s simply the nature of society — and of the flow of information through society — that each point of the system that has custody of information will try to modify that information to suit its own objectives.

I never bought into the polls showing Hillary ahead by double digits.

She’s even less popular with people who are going to vote in November.

And she is under 40%!

Wonderful.

But seriously, people, this is not an invitation to kick back.

My theory is that Clinton’s support has always been a mile wide and an inch deep. As more comes out about her, people are going to defect. Also, I think Trump’s tone and seriousness over the past two weeks have helped him.

Trump has this election in the bag. He is competitive even with low support among republicans.

He will consolidate republican support after the convention and it won’t even be close. Even the NY Times admits that Trump beats Hillary among independents in every poll.

I haven’t been buying into recent polls. Hillary is a criminal and a HORRIBLE candidate. I think Rasmussen has it right.

I wish I could believe this, but Rassmussen greatly overestimated Romney’s support in the last election.

I knew something was fishy with Trump “losing”. Doesn’t make sense in the context of everyone turning against globalism. Well, everyone except the media etc.

How can Clinton even be close to Trump in the polls?

Because some of the polls are crooked, just like Killary.

Besides, polls this early don't mean much. Starting in late August, September, as the populace wakes up to the November election, the polls will be much more meaningful.

I think Rasmussen changed their methodology a bit since 2012. Also, the trend is your friend. This poll had Clinton up by 5 points last week.

Trump is going to continue to consolidate support among Republicans in the weeks to come and after the convention. If he can do that, it will go a long way toward winning.
