Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by roughly three points in the latest USC Dornsife/LA Times Presidential Election Daybreak poll. Trump earns 45. 1 percent support in the poll, while Clinton is at 42.3 percent.
According to the poll two weeks ago, Trump was behind Clinton by three points, 45.5 percent to 42.1 percent.

Hillary’s has her own hockey stick graph...
This is the hildabeast’s dream! She will only drop out if she collapses and dies on the debate stage!
We share the same dream.:)
Clinton 46.5% Trump 41.5%
net: Clinton +5
RCP Poll AverageFour Person Race with Johnson and Stein
Hillary 42.3, Trump 38.0, Johnson 8.0, Stein 3.1
net: Clinton +4.3
I would suggest that these numbers are a much more accurate reflection of the state of the race than the USC numbers, which is a unique poll with an untested and therefore unproven methodology. Poll averaging, OTOH, has an excellent track record.
Can you imagine the constant caterwauling of the media if a Republican candidate had not met with the media for 270 days!!! But not a peep from the Clinton Cover Up weasels, who are glad to have her hiding and fund raising because they are afraid of the lousy answers she would give to their soft-ball questions.
They have probably given her a list of the debate questions, so she can rehearse them for a few weeks before the first debate. Trump should jump on this and publicly call out the moderators and Hillary at the debate, if it appears that she has “canned” all the answers in advance, like she does the “jokes” on liberal late night TV.
lol..
Pro Trump will DEMAND source code viewing of all electronic vote machines eg Diebold, else NEVER ACCEPT the rigged results.
“This is the hildabeast’s dream! She will only drop out if she collapses and dies on the debate stage! She will NEVER quit. Don’t kid yourself.”
She will drop out. The pressure has been and will be how close to election day she will go before handing it off to Liawatha? The replacement has to happen in such a way that Liawatha gets maximum positive exposure without having to debate Trump.
This is probably what the Clinton campaign and the MSM are working on. They are intentionally taking the attention off of her.
Acid reflux can also cause that sort of coughing. It can be quite irritating to the throat and nasal passages without ever causing heartburn pain. It wouldn't be unusual at her age. Being overweight wouldn't help either.
“A Trump victory this November will be a crushing blow to the biased media and this nation will be much better off for it. Perhaps then we will see journalistic principles return to the media once again.”
Won’t happen. We have moved back to the healthy period of American politics where all media was partisan media. Everyone knows the media has a side it has picked. It is a better place than were we have been for at least 50 years, where the dominant media claimed to be “non-partisan”, but picked nearly all the winners in politics.
We lived in a “mediacracy” for at least 50 years, with the only real exception being Reagan. He won be cause he conciously realized that the media was the opponent, and formulated his campaign with that in mind.
I am starting to agree that there may not be debates. If Hillary’s condition is as bad as many believe, and worsening, it might be too risky. For sure she will push for “Town Hall” style debates, which Trump should veto. (Those are always a set up with Dem operatives posing as average people filling every seat.)
Bill Clinton would also have to trample the Constitution for a third term, not just Obama. My guess is Crazy Uncle Joe would be the choice.
And you believe Johnson gets 8% and Stein 3%? forget it!
She can’t play run out the clock, she must engage, and every engagement she will go down...
That's her conundrum in a nutshell, isn't it? Her strength is that not everyone despises her. Her weakness is that everyone hasn't met her yet.
Let’s wager! How much $$$ do you want to lose?! I know narcissists...she is a classic one!
If you remember even the RNC & the Romney camp thought that they were going to win until about 4:00 pm election day as they followed their own polling models.
A thousand times no. You don't average percents. The RCP average is worthless.
I don't care how often media touts this crap so as to include the worst outlier polls that increase Hillary's average. Each poll with its methodology must stand on its own. I would expect each high school math teacher to be aghast at what the RCP average represents. But since they also shill for Hillary, they will tout it like the media.
And, it's worthless to bring up the Romney scenario with that turnout. Even the polls in the primaries aren't going to tell us anything because they have adjusted to the general election.
Here is what the NY Times editorial board hopes to be the compromise for the Clinton Foundation:
“When Mrs. Clinton became secretary of state, the Obama administration tried to draw a line between the foundation, particularly its foreign-government sponsors, and her role. The new emails underscore that this effort was at best partly successful. “Pay-to-play” charges by Donald Trump have not been proved. But the emails and previous reporting suggest Mr. Trump has reason to say that while Mrs. Clinton was secretary, it was hard to tell where the foundation ended and the State Department began.”
Notice that Trump has to prove pay to play. But even though they admit that she did not stop foundation foreign payoffs. And that its hard to figure out where the state department ends and the foundation begins. The Times is hoping that people will let the Clintons give the foundation to surrogates while they are in office and then take it over after they leave office.
Remember the Clintons would be 78+ then. And they point to good works the foundation does. But they don’t point to the fact that their good works add up to only 4% of the money. While their friends and Chelsea earn at least as much.
The only good thing about this article is that even the NY Times is realizing this smells bad. So that means that normal people must think it stinks to high heaven.
