Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race has narrowed since late last week, according to the results of the first Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted since the Orlando shooting rampage on Sunday.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for the Nov. 8 election, has blamed Democratic policies for the worst mass shooting in U.S. history and doubled-down on his pledge to ban Muslim immigration, while Clinton has warned against demonizing Muslim-Americans.
The poll, conducted from Friday to Tuesday, showed Clinton with an 11.6-point lead - 44.6 percent to 33.0 percent - over Trump, down from the 13-point lead she had in the five days that ended Saturday....

That Reuter’s poll is trash.
did they poll any gay people?
The wheels are flyin’ off the Reuter’s wagon.
Uh, no. Trump's big lead has gained even more.
Independents at 11%.....Yeah meet Right.
Reuters polls should be banned from this site, they aren’t anything but Whitehouse produced propaganda.
What the mediawhores did to palin they are doing again to trump!! It worked beautifully! They dragged Palin through the mud until the American people hated her!
We can logically refute the polls, but this is now Reuters and Bloomberg ... so it adds up for folks that just glance at the news
I agree!
Reuters is an internet poll which I believe is set up for just “respondents” right now, not even RV or LV.
Bloomberg is showing D+8 in their LV scheme. The 2012 election was D+6 and 2014 was D+1. If it’s D+8, I agree that Trump is toast, but it won’t likely be that. it will probably be somewhere between D+1 and D+6 at the end of the day.
It’s a rolling average which means that since sunday the change has been dramatic...they just don’t want to say that
We played that number game all summer long when mitt was running and the polls proved us wrong...I won’t do it this time aound!! If this Horrific attack did not wake up the people then all I can say is they can shove Hiltlery up their collective socialist @&&!!! America it was nice knowing ya!!
Did Clinton really have that big of a lead going into Sunday?
Only a little? LoL.
The last Rooooters/IpSos weighted it 52% Dem, which is about 17% over polled. And 12% Indies who are under represented somewhere between 14% to 18%.
Reweighed correctly would likely put Trump in the lead.
I agree, we can’t get into “polls are wrong,” but we did see plenty of evidence of that on all sides in the primaries: They had Cankles winning MI by 21-—she lost big, a 28 point flip. They had Trump winning IA by as much as 10-—he lost by what? Five or six? A 15-point flip. They had Cruz leading in SC and IN, which he lost big.
I think we need to let the dust settle, and see some polls with legit D/R splits. They don’t even have to be close to accurate, just in the general ball park, which I don’t think this one and Survey Monkey are. We also need to be careful with “registered” voters vs. “likely.”
Their last poll had Dems being polled at 52% and I see Indies here are at 11%. Indies should be weighed somewhere between 26 to 30%, and Dems around 35%. These Reuter guys are pulling your leg.
Trump has a large swath of Americans on his side. Everyone else is lined up against him. To me this is our final hope.
