(Reuters) Pollster warns Clinton's lead over Trump is soft

The polling company for Reuters is warning Wednesday that Hillary Rodham Clinton's lead over Republican Donald Trump appears soft.

In fact, Ipsos revealed that of the top three issues voters find most important, Clinton only leads one by a margin of 5 points.

"Simply put, the election still is far from over!" said Ipsos President Clifford Young. "While Clinton does lead Trump on the top quality 'stronger on economy/jobs' by five points, they are in a dead heat on 'terrorism' and 'fixing a broken system'–much closer than the 8-point average Clinton lead in the polls," he added.

Reuter Rooooters should know since the skew big time in their BS polls.

For example the samples.

Gallup: Rep/Dem/Ind 29%/29%/42%

W/M 52%/48%

Reuters:

Rep/Dem/Ind 39%/45%/9%

W/M 60%/40%

Trump is up big with Independents over +20% even seen 2/1.

Yeah sure thang Hillary is winning. ...Nope.

Interesting that a so-called impartial news service would take a statement that the election is close and see it as a “warning” to Clinton as opposed to an encouragement to Trump.

So those pollsters who are all in for Hillary are afraid of being outed. Time to hedge their bets.

So a certain percentage of people think that someone like Clinton who broke the system is somehow qualified to fix it. Yikes! Amazing ignorance.

Are they "warning" the media that their 24/7 anti-Trump bias isn't working?

Just remember, all polls are instruments for manipulating public opinion. They are tools of the establishment.

Final count, popular vote; Trump 55% to Hillary 45%.

Third & fourth parties not included, but after fraud.

Clinton is this election cycles “historic candidate.” As such, she should be way ahead and drawing huge, enthusiastic crowds of cheering women and minorities. But, she’s not getting any of those things. That’s because few people like her, and fewer are enthusiastic about her. Most people are looking for a way of voting for someone else. All Trump has to do is convince people that he’s not the scary boogieman that the media has made him out to be. His speech last night has already has about 500,000 views on youtube, and it was run live on CNN and FOX, so it’s been seen by a few million people now. However, the first debate on 26 September will be his huge opportunity, because viewership will most likely be over 100 MILLION. He has to dominate Clinton, and demonstrate his knowledge and grasp of the issues, and he will receive a huge boost. The media will continue to bash him at every opportunity, but he will get his message thru via new media, social media, and other platforms.

Clinton’s support is primarily from old, white “feminist” holdovers from the 1960’s and 70’s. Misguided blacks also make up a large part of her constituency, but Trump can and will overcome all that.
