Hillary Clinton's edge over Donald Trump remained at 1 point – 45% to 44% – in a four-way race as Friday's latest revelations in the email scandal continued to shake the Clinton campaign, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll.
This continues a three-day slide in the IBD/TIPP Poll for Clinton after FBI Director James Comey announced Friday that he's reinstating the bureau's investigation into Clinton's homebrew email server while she was secretary of state.
In just three days, Clinton has largely lost a 4-point lead. But not to third party candidates. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets just 4% of the vote, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein is at 2%.
Unrounded data now give Hillary Clinton a 44.6%-43.7% lead over Trump in a four-way matchup, or less than 1%. Johnson stands at 4.2% and Stein at 2.1%. Meanwhile, in a two-way matchup excluding Johnson and Stein, Clinton clings to a 44.7% to 43.9% lead -- a mere 0.8 percentage point.

Her lead being continued by this poll is artificial.
+10
Especially since she herself sold a big chunk of our uranium to the Russians and tried to press her ridiculous reset button with them.
She is talking about temperament. Wow!
Apparently she is going completely mental. On and on about the “Russian server”, a story that has been debunked by NYT (!!!)
So now it is Slate and some “computer experts” that are carrying the story. FBI’s own experts have concluded there is nothing there.
This smells of major desperation.
And turncoat Republicans. Rather than support Trump, they undermine him. They could well cost us the election and cause permanent damage to this country.
A 20% bias towards Democrats over Republicans and Trump still comes within 1 point.
Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia...giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States?
Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.
"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. Jut sho me the money, Vlad."
I used to love even the unique smell of the IBD print version, and the quest to find a copy while on vacation...alas, it is just an establishment tool.
He’s already said at every debate that he has none to disclose, so of course he’s lying./s
The “Do you think she’ll win” polls are worthless.
As long as her reported poll numbers stayed at +5 or better, it was natural for people to assume she would win. As soon as the poll numbers are even, to within the margin of error, then things change.
This election will be all about turnout.
Also, this is a tracking poll that averages several days of polling from 10/26 - 10/31. As the earlier +Clinton days fall off over the next couple of days, we should see the lines cross and Trump move into the lead, peaking at the perfect time. The expectation chart, showing Hillary now expected to win below 50% is a powerful leading trend against her. The preference polls should catch up to this leading indicator in the next couple of days.
Many people at my office yesterday were feeling good about next Tuesday where before they didn’t think he could overcome all the media bias and conventional wisdom. A real sea change took place over the weekend with regard to Trump’s chances. I see a “go with the winning horse “ effect.
So sick of Debbie Downers like you. Why do you even bother coming here if you feel “all is lost”. Hopefully you were never in the military. Wouldn’t want you in my foxhole.
Yep Huma is no longer on-site to calm down Ashtray Hillary. It’s the strawberries I tell you.
Dr. Diazepam is going to need a much bigger syringe.
I find it amazing when these absurd low-effort polling stories get into reporting tenths of a percent, as if they are scientific measurements of a physical phenomenon. I don’t know if it’s the basic stupidity of the writer, which is most probable, or an attempt to make an absurd poll seem more scientific by surrounding B.S. numbers with enough false precision to make them appear “accurate”. Nobody would buy their poll if they said the race is pretty much an even split, but print the race as 44.7% to 43.9% and suddenly it looks very precise.
This, like most every published poll, is cheap click bait and/or propaganda. If you want real insight into the race, apply this visualization. Forget party affiliation, platforms, or policies (apparently the MSM has, because they never talk about policies). Picture yourself as a rabid Hillary supporter. Do you think they actually feel her victory is assured?
You raised a very good point about the 2012 election.
Obama got a lot of positive press after Hurricane Sandy.
He was on the scene and looked like a leader (as portrayed by the press). He was contrasted with Bush and Hurricane Katrina. Romney may very well have been leading up to that time but Obama came out looking like a leader in charge.
Huma was spotted at Laz’s lair.
IBD rarely moves more than 1 point per day - they have 6 days to move to the outcome poll, plenty of time to get to 49R-45D
