NEW YORK, June 3 (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton has opened up a double-digit lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, regaining ground after the New York billionaire briefly tied her last month, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.

The shift in support comes as Clinton steps up her attacks on the real estate mogul's policy positions, and as Trump fends off criticisms of his eponymous university and the pace at which he doled out money that he raised for U.S. veterans.

Some 46 percent of likely voters said they supported Clinton, while 35 percent said they supported Trump, and another 19 percent said they would not support either, according to the survey of 1,421 people conducted between May 30 and June 3.

Are you sure? By September, Trump was running neck and neck against Yeb!

2016 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
Odds as of September 20 at Bovada
Jeb Bush +200
Donald Trump +240
Marco Rubio +500
Scott Walker +800

And by January 2016, Trump was clearly ahead:

Donald Trump +150
Marco Rubio +225
Ted Cruz +290

Don’t discount the market.

This works to Trump's favor. RATs are less likely to replace Crooked Hillary if she demonstrates a lead, no matter how fictitious it may be.

I’m absolutely sure, and I don’t understand why you even would bother to ask as the evidence is out there and easily available.

I didn’t specify anything about “September”, but in fact specified the “beginning” of the Republican primary, which is relative to this point of the general election, and those numbers show at least a 5 to 1 spread of Bush over Trump, that being in August (posted earlier in this thread), and I believe even more lopsided prior to that.

I suggest you put down every last cent you have on these betting sites on Clinton if you are so sure that they are the best prediction of who will win the General Election.

That will sure show me!

You are wise. I salute you sir or madam.

Don’t be emotional about it. The market reacts accordingly.

[Pox]

Nothing emotional at all about my reply.

Put up, or STFU, is basically what I’m saying, with no emotion involved or necessary.

Typical main stream media bull shi*

and it is the week end...

heard Trump is taking a couple days off...the handlers will now step in..and he'll come out fighting...

Granny is being shipped off to a fat farm for a redo...after all she introduced her self three times...now she need to do another introduction. cause people just don't know WHO she really is.

I'll stand by TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO NOVEMBER, THEN ON TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

[Pinkbell]

Don’t be worried - that’s what I recall people saying in the 2012 election with Romney and the 2008 election with McCain. People said not to believe the polls. Well, the polls turned out accurately. There is a long way to go, but it’s not wrong to be concerned.

[haircutter]

BY the way posters.

Have y'all heard of all the illegals and muslims they are bringing in at the Mexico Southern border, the dude in charge of Homeland security with that weird name of JED...said they will get it done...

THE WHITE HOUSE HAS A RUSH ON IT...THEY ARE WORRIED HILLARY IS LOSING..AND THE WHITE HOUSE IS GIVING THESE ILLEGALS VOTING RIGHTS...SO UNBELIEVABLE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE AMERICA WE ONCE WERE...

PRAY FOR AMERICA...LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE...

Well except for the Trump phenomenon, unlike anything in known American political history, you're absolutely right.

Cross posting this post into mine...

Now we see where Reuters was trying to go with this "poll". "The Empire Strikes Back" meme is the DNCMEDIA's attempt to aid and abet the Clinton Campaign.

Nets Cheer Hillary’s ‘Passionate’ ‘Total Takedown’ of Trump

Thanks MarvinStinson!

The polls will “tighten” up when October comes around and the pollsters want to retain their credibility and stop being leftist propaganda engines.

[FourtySeven]

That discrepancy in the math you point out is suspicious. Good catch on that.

I honestly can’t believe this result. A double digit lead? After the month Hillary had!?

It must be fabricated in some way it simply must be, or else we really are living in the age of the great deception. It’s literally only one of those two choices. I absolutely cannot believe anyone, except for her usual 47% base, would choose this woman over anyone. I haven’t been a great fan of Trump but I’ve never thought, and still don’t think he is a weak candidate against her.

Again, either a faked poll or living in the age of great deception as predicted in Sacred Scripture. It’s just that simple.

[SunkenCiv]

Didn't the same source say the same kind of thing about Ted Cruz just before he had his ass handed to him?

Partisan Media Shills Alert!

[lionstar]

Well said! Whether this poll is accurate or not doesn’t change the fact that Trump had a horrible week and better knock it off really quick before it does become a sad reality!
