Hillary Clinton has emerged from the two major party conventions and their aftermath with an eight-point lead over Donald Trump, aided by a consolidation of support among Democrats and a failure so far by Republicans to rally equally behind their nominee, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Clinton and her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.), now lead Trump and his running mate, Gov. Mike Pence (Ind.), by 50 percent to 42 percent among registered voters, double the four-point advantage the Democrats held on the eve of the Republican convention in mid-July. Among likely voters, the Democratic nominee leads by 51 percent to 44 percent.
In a four-way race that includes Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Clinton leads Trump by 45 percent to 37 percent, with Johnson at 8 percent and Stein at 4 percent. Before the Republican convention, she had a four-percentage-point lead in a four-way matchup.

Oh. So it does happen this way sometimes.
Good to know it’s not always fake.
“I wouldn’t take any odds that you’re gonna make it there.”
So are you the one who decides who is a noob? What’s the cutoff...10 months, twelve months? Just because you don’t like a poll, the poster is anti-Trump.
I don’t remember you complaining when I was posting all the good Trump polls. Grow Up!
The cutoff goes back to 2009 unless you were 13 years old then. How old are you now MitB?
Taken from the first to the fourth of this month. Most polls since then have shown it narrowing.
“How old are you now MitB?”
62 going on 85:)
“D33 R 23 I and others 44.”
Cankles is only up by 8!?
No wonder the dems are running scared.
5.56mm
“Says the 8-month old Drive-By Poster.”
I’ll say it again...Grow Up!
There isn’t a reliable poll right now. They are all known to inflate, read: LIE, about democrat numbers.
This is the same, undiluted, lying "polling" crap stunt the democRAT controlled MSM media pulled during the Carter, Ragan presidential campaign. Except this time the voting public doesn't have to rely on the lying ABC, CBS, NBC democRAT propaganda machine spewing their lies.
I thank God for Free Republic and for the fact that the voting public is no longer limited/beholden to getting their "news", "information" or the truth from these democRAT shills.
Registered voter polls I dismiss out of hand. They’re posted for the purpose of make it look like Hillary is far ahead. She’s not.
What a close race...pftt
nope. paid polling.
h ill liar y is toast.
I thank God for Free Republic.
worth repeating
Polls showing Hillary ahead are Garbage! Polls showing Trump ahead are legit. It’s as simple as that.
No sarc tag because I am totally Serious.
Who in their right mind would vote for Hillary? Exactly. There aren’t enough crazy people in America for her to win.
Wonder what Pat Caddell is saying about this race?
Pat Caddell on Reuters Poll: ‘Never I Seen a News Organization Do Something So Dishonest’

Full Title- Pat Caddell on ‘Cooked’ Reuters Poll: ‘Never in My Life Have I Seen a News Organization Do Something So Dishonest’
On Sunday’s Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Alex Marlow, political strategist Pat Caddell outlined his charge that Reuters tampered with its own daily tracking poll to manufacture a sudden surge for Hillary Clinton.
“They not only changed their formula, to put Hillary ahead. They went back and changed the results, for a week of results where Trump was ahead, and then they turned those into Hillary leads,” said Caddell. “They also erased all the former polling off the site. They didn’t tweak their procedure - they cooked it.”
“Never in my life have I seen a news organization, and a supposedly reputable poll, do something so dishonest,” Caddell continued. “What they have done is, they decided the people who said, ‘oh, I’m never for someone’ - oh, those must be Hillary votes. They used to be Trump voters.”
“They made a switch, as much as nine points, in their results from the beginning of last week, the 25th and 26th. It is, beyond doubt, the most outrageous thing,” he declared, noting that results in three- and four-way polls that include independent candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein were also skewed.
“This is what the media is willing to do, to try to elect her,” Caddell said. “This poll is nothing but a part of a media offensive. In the 45 years since I was a child, in top-level presidential campaigns, I have never seen the media on such a jihad, and so involved in hiding facts, and not following up. This is a crisis of democracy, what the press is now doing.
