Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has made up significant ground against Hillary Clinton in the past few days in the Reuters/Ipsos poll, where he trailed by 12 points on Tuesday, 45%-33%, but is now behind only 5 points, 41%-36%.
When four candidates are included in the poll — taking in Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Gary Johnson — Clinton’s lead narrows to just 3 points, 39%-36% — a statistical dead heat, given the poll’s margin of error of 3 points.
The poll was taken Aug. 22-25, over a period where Clinton accused Trump of aligning with the Ku Klux Klan and the “alt-right.” The same period also saw new revelations of pay-to-play corruption while Clinton was at the State Department.
Reuters reports:
The Aug. 22-25 opinion poll found that 41 percent of likely voters supported Clinton ahead of the Nov. 8 presidential election, while 36 percent supported Trump. Some 23 percent would not pick either candidate and answered “refused,” “other” or “wouldn’t vote.”
In a separate Reuters/Ipsos poll that includes candidates from small, alternative parties, Clinton leads the field by a smaller margin. Some 39 percent of likely voters supported Clinton in the four-way poll, compared with 36 percent for Trump, 7 percent for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and 3 percent for Green Party nominee Jill Stein.
Both polls were conducted online in English in all 50 states. They included 1,154 likely voters and have a credibility interval of 3 percentage points.

I wondered before she even cheated Bernie out of the nomination, if the media was going to be running her campaign for her...
I remember the years that Clinton was in the White House, Rush had a ball with all the radio show prep day after day, and he’s hoping this happens again...
I haven’t heard him for months now, but my neighbor says he’s still not on the Trump train, and I don’t think he will ever be, even if Trump wins, Rush will down him worse than he ever did Clinton...
He needs to bombard with ads soon.
A lot of them are manipulated, and are run by the left. They often have the democrat up in order to demoralize the republicans, but that is not working this election. Instead, Hillary is measuring drapes instead of campaigning, while Trump keeps campaigning.
I expect them to flip the numbers soon, in order to give Hillary a hint to keep campaigning.
To me these candidates are so well known (probably the most well known POTUS candidates in history) and so far apart in philosophy I just can’t see where campaigning makes a bit of difference.
How many ways in emails can the DNC use code words for boosting fraudulent voting between now and the election?
And to think, at 12:15 today Asman at FoxNews and his guests were lasered in on the Quinipiac poll. Oh, the landslide for Billary was assured!!! Even better, they looked at the internals and concluded that Trump was losing because of his racist rhetoric. Hmmm, coincidence that the Quin poll comes out two days before Billary’s speech labeling Trump a racist and backs up her Thighness? B
First few minutes make the point.
Better one than what I had ... okay to copy/save it?
Yup, I just made that... all my images are public domain so use as you see fit :-)
Thankee! R/Janey
Then you're easily manipulated.
Get real, and get excited about Trump. Look at Trump's proposed policies. Look at Hillary's proposed policies.
If you're not passionate about voting for Trump, then I don't know what your problem is.
Has anyone else in the GOP ever challenged PC the way Trump has? Challenged the Media the way Trump has? Challenged the GOPe the way Trump has?
What's not to be fired up about?
Lemme guess. You were a Ted Cruz fan.
Ted Cruz destroyed himself.
Wake up, man, the Republic's at stake!
Lukewarm water isn't the way to go this election cycle.
Vote Trump, and convince family and friends to do the same!
You’re wasting your energy. This guy is one of the leaders of the Cruzlamic State. An Imam to the Cruzlims. He couldn’t possibly lower himself to make a positive statement about Trump without first letting us know how intellectually superior he is to all of us infidels and stating how much he dislikes Trump first.
Hellary going full PC can only drive middle-of-the-road voters away from her and her numbers down. That message only appeals to the hardcore leftists she already has in her court.
Trump at least will build a wall, control islam flooding America, enforce our laws and help the economy.
One of the most important things is he will do is appoint constitutional Supreme court justices.

I agree with you on that point.

Consider the alternative my friend and be a patriot. I have voted in the past for Republicans I differ with, but if we don’t stick together, Hillary will happen.
evening Sky. That is what should happen to her, but I will not hold my breath.
Ya, same here. I simply do not understand how she can do what she’s done and then deny all of it.
As I sit here tying this I think how much it sickens me to no end . The woman should be in prison , and yet she runs for President. People will vote for her out of ignorance like my Mother in law, or due to their radical , no moral views.
It really is stunning , and I tell my kids every day how corrupt she is , along with her family , so they know for the future how certain voters have ruined this country.
