When you combine Hillary Clinton’s lack of appeal with her alleged ethically questionable dealings regarding paid access at the Clinton Foundation, you’re going to take a hit in the polls. In fact, in the past three days, Clinton has dropped seven points against Donald Trump. Nationally, she still leads by five, but that’s still within striking distance of the Republican nominee. That says more about her than Trump.
Both are widely unpopular standard bearers for their respective political parties, but Clinton just seems incapable of breaking 50 percent. There is some silver linings for the Clinton campaign. They’re still leading in key swing states. And if the election were held today, she would handily cobble together enough electoral votes to win. Still, it shows that Hillary’s standing in the polls might be very tenuous, with one bad document dump away from massive erosion in support (via The Hill):
Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump has narrowed to 5 points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Friday.Clinton, the Democratic nominee, registers 41 percent support among likely voters, while Trump, her GOP counterpart, claims 36 percent. Twenty-three percent said they wouldn’t vote or would pick another candidate.
The same poll on Tuesday showed Clinton leading by 12 points. She was up by 8 points in last Friday's Reuters/Ipsos poll.
For Trump, this is good news. It shows that the possible ethics issues that surround the Clintons like hungry sharks resonates with American voters. While it’s good that Trump has been hammering them over the shady dealings of their family foundation, it's what he should’ve been doing for months. He should focus his attacks here. Don’t attack Gold Star families. Enough with the attacks on a judge’s ethnicity—and saying that he can’t do his job effectively because of it.
Just focus on attacking Clinton, the fact that voters don’t trust her, and her dismal record in the foreign policy department. Say how this will be a third Obama term, but one that will be marked with an all-out assault on our Second Amendment rights. Hit her on trade. There’s plenty of ammunition to use against Hillary Clinton. And I would suggest setting up extended campaign tours through Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Missouri. Yes, there’s been a nosedive for Clinton in the national polls, but things are tight in some traditionally Republican states. It’s what you get with a weak candidate, though Trump is the Right’s best chance of defeating Hillary in November.
That’s it! No more campaign appearances!
Huma and Hillary are unavailable for comment. They have been in bed since Thursday.....
He never did.
Enough with the attacks on a judge’s ethnicity.
Never happened, except in leftist/neverTrumpRino minds.

Good ones; enjoy.
Most epic loss ever, coming right up.
NOTE: Scary people with lots of power can avoid indictment. Enormous losers are less successful at avoiding indictment.
Well, it seems TRUMP on his own could not roust Hillary out of bed and onto the campaign trail, given her poll numbers, but now that they are falling around her cankles she may be inspired to rise from the dead, leap and bound for the nearest rally, schedule numerous interviews and a press conference of great magnitude.
Nope. HRC either believes she has this thing truly in the bag, already sewn up and guaranteed, or else her internals prove her to be only propped up and losing in the swing states. Which is it?
In either case, there is apparently no real need for her to extend herself and make all those dang stage stair steps, or break a sweat to appear anywhere near a siezure inducing moment in the cleg lights and cameras. If it is going to be tight to the end, she must think “to Hell with it, I need a nap, anyway”.
Exactly. Asking why a woman didn’t speak after her husband SLANDERED Trump for 5 minutes is hardly what I would call “attacking a Gold star family”. If anything, Sharia supremacist Kizer Khan attacked his own family and completely and disgustingly dishonored his son all to garner support for a felon and traitor to the United States, as well a fascist in the making being that the government in no uncertain terms told us she is above the law.
She’s a poopie pants and she’s gonna’ lose.
“shot her wad”...I have no comment...lol

Donald really oughta help out Hillary in the debates.
Maybe not be too hard on her.
Maybe hand her a pickle jar to give her something constructive to do.
Clinton knows that the more people see her the more they despise her, so no more public appearances for Commie douche bag..back to the ICU she goes
Yes! Winning!!
Hee hee. He could walk out with a cushy barstool, and a with a side table to put her pickles on.
.
Possible?
Possible??
Possible????
WTH, Mr. Vespa? You cannot be serious! That one word lets all the air out of your article. Why would I read past "possible"?
Meanwhile, Hillary tanks again...
Those are great. Sent most of them to my sister.
Nice pistol at the end, too.
Debating immigration issues, Donald could ask Hillary to open a jar of salsa.....just to show she’s against building a wall at the border.
Where’s the white van? She is creepy.
