WASHINGTON, June 28 (UPI) -- A tracking poll in the U.S. presidential election shows Democrat Hillary Clinton widening her lead over Republican Donald Trump and approaching the 50 percent threshold nationally in a head-to-head matchup.

The NBC News/SurveyMonkey online weekly tracking poll shows Clinton with a 49 percent-41 percent lead over Trump, her largest lead in that poll since it began tracking the likely general election matchup in early May.

Yet, nobody turns up for her rallys. Go figure!

I prefer that they push these push polls. I want Trump to fight tooth and nail, never give an inch, never be the hare in this battle. And the same for us supporters.

Fight like our lives depend on it, because they do.

Because the respondents initially self-select, no margin of error can be calculated."self-select"? Does that mean it was a volunteer poll? If so, quite sure Hillary has trolls standing by for Survey Monkey polls.

[Jane Long]

Yeppers. Another BS poll.

50%....we needed a good laugh, today!!

Only in yours and other socialist/globalist wet dreams.

Yes, it does sound like a garbage poll.

[TheTimeOfMan]

Crap poll. If Trump can stay alive he is going to crush Drooling Evil in the general.

"Because the respondents initially self-select, no margin of error can be calculated."

Ha. What a joke.

[mrs9x]

Online, self-selection bias and identification bias are all huge problems for this poll.

And there are a lot of laughs today...media twits trying how to spin Trump's speech today...and can't...oh wait, one said he used a ‘teleprompter’ OMGOSH, the horror of it all!!! ROFL.....

Not a fair comparison. Willard wasn’t running to win. Trump is.

[DiogenesLamp]

Yeah, it reminds me of the polls showing Obama beating Romney.

Romney beat Romney... with a lot of help from the Media Industrial complex.

[VRW Conspirator]

Clinton by a land slide. Mandate! /dbs

[Drew68]

Don’t buy it Trump will win in a landslide.

I wish I could share your confidence but I can't.

Polls showing Trump losing are the entirely predictable result of a 50 year long immigration policy that has handed over our country to wretched Third Worlders and their values of sloth, ignorance and criminality. And for 50 years, Republicans did nothing to stem the tide. In fact, they encouraged it. We needed Trump 16 years ago when we still had the numbers to right the course. Today, I fear, we are too far gone.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, anytime a negative report comes out on Hillary a new poll shows up showing her lead widening.

[AmusedBystander]

Any dem that isn't at least at 60% now is a dead man walking.

June polls

1968 Humphrey 42, Nixon 37

1980 Carter 39, Reagan 32

1988 Dukakis 52. Bush 38

2000 Gore 47, Bush 41

[Logical me]

Bull shi!. They are desperate and using fake polling. Want to catch this simple minded Americans that want to be on the winning hand and their empty mind can't tell the difference. Awful lot of empty headed Americans. Some will never understand Trump is trying to save America.

Trump for President.

[stevio]

I was polled this past Sunday. Didn’t lie, answered as a hard-core conservative.

[steve86]

Even back when there were eight or so Republican contenders polls consistently showed Hellery beating Trump. Those of us who pointed that out were ridiculed. Only Cruz had a chance.

[Seruzawa]

I resent that. Some of my best friends are Poles.
