... The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch survey shows Clinton taking a four-point lead over Trump – 42% to 38% - among Likely U.S. Voters. Fifteen percent (15%) still prefer some other candidate, while five percent (5%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
A week ago, it was Clinton 39%, Trump 38%. The race has essentially been tied in Rasmussen Reports surveys since last October. Trump had his best showing a month ago, leading Clinton 42% to 37%. The latest finding is Clinton’s high to date. ...

What’s TBR?
It’s tough to win when your opponent is promising lots of free stuff paid for by the U.S. taxpayers. America! The Big Pinata!
And that poll does not count the armies of dead democrat and repeat voters that vote in growing numbers every election.
Clinton just sewed up her nomination. They always get a bump after that.
The point is, she did not get as big as bump as she should have.
That isn’t a counter argument.
That is Clinton finishing her primary.
That is why Cruz is where he is now, and these Clinton supporters by proxy are where they are.
4% points is a fluctuation that can zoom right back the other way in a week.
I hope your right.
I’ve said it on other threads, and I’ll say it here: We need to approach this election with the belief that we will have to fight for every single vote right up until the last polling place closes. We cannot dismiss polls we don’t like as “biased”, and therefore assume everything is okay. We cannot assume that Hillary will be indicted, dooming her candidacy. We cannot assume that Hillary will drop out because of health issues. We must proceed on the assumption that the Democrats will use every single dirty trick they have in their playbook and be prepared to respond accordingly. Everything is in play. Everything is at stake. We must do whatever it takes to defeat Hillary. Don’t assume it will be easy.
More of the truth about Hillary has to be made known among the MSM low info voters. The hard core RATs and the vote-by-matching-plumbing crowd won’t be affected; honest but badly informed individuals might be. The same with calling out lies about Trump. He is going to be continuously excoriated with lies, half truths and innuendo. We have to defend against that. Not covering up his warts, but correcting the inaccuracies.
Good points.
Yep. As our fellow Freeper Bray would say: “Pray America Wakes.” I sincerely believe most Americans know the country is going in the wrong direction and Hillary would be an extension of the misery of the last eight years. Far be it for me to tell Donald Trump how to run his campaign, but he needs to pound home his theme of making America great again, and remind the voters how the Democrats are constantly bashing this country time and time again. The examples are numerous. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but I know we have a fighter as our nominee unlike the last two GOP nominee squishes who rolled over like dogs to Obama. Trump has a real chance to win against a really bad candidate in Hillary.
Trump has been beaten up the past couple of weeks over this Hispanic, biased judge thing.
To the Great Unwashed, not like those here, the only thing they’re hearing about Trump lately is he doesn’t want to have his trial run by a Mexican, ‘cause he’s a hater and all that.
I know it’s wrong, but that what too many are hearing. He needs to drop it and get going on the campaign.
There’s polls saying Clinton is on top, and there’s polls saying Trump is on top. Who to believe? I don’t believe any of them.
Just an observation. I think blue collar, working class Democrats take a more realistic view of the country than their college educated elitist counterparts. Ask a blue collar white Democrat voter in Youngstown, OH, or in Pittsburgh what they think of gay marriage, gender benders using the bathrooms of their choosing, and illegal immigration. We might be surprised to know they’re not adhering to their party line on any of those issues. They still vote for the person with a D by their name out of long standing tradition and they still have the mindset that Republicans are for the rich and the Democrats are for the little guy like them, but these are not people who will have much in common with BLM or La Raza. These are the people who will decide the election, and Trump is the first Republican since Reagan to have mass appeal among them.
So tempting to say, ‘I’ll giver ‘er a bump’ but I will refrain ;)
Agree 100%. Ora et labora until the polls close on Election Day.
