Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tied going into conventions - CBS/NYT poll
CBS News/New York Times ^ | 7/14/2016 | Sarah Dutton, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto

The State of the Race Heading into the two parties' conventions, the race for President is a dead heat, a change from last month when Hillary Clinton led by six points. Forty percent of registered voters now say they will back Clinton (a dip of three points), while 40 percent will vote for Trump (a bump up of three points). A month ago, Clinton led Trump 43 to 37 percent.

Most registered voters say they have made up their minds about who to support: 90 percent of Trump voters and 88 percent of Clinton voters say their choice is set. About one in 10 of each's candidates' supporter say their minds might change before the election.

The race looks essentially the same in a three-way contest when Libertarian candidate Governor Gary Johnson is added to the mix. He gets 12 percent of the vote, but Clinton and Trump remain tied, with 36 percent each.

If this is the best the commies at the Slimes and SeeBs "News" can do, it's looking goo for Trump! Keep in mind this is Registered Voters we are talking about here, too.

This suits the Rat media just fine. They love to portray their candidates as “miracle come backs”

The headline is downplaying the real story: the astonishing movement in Trump’s direction. People are wondering what else there is about the Clinton Crime Family that we haven’t heard yet.

I wonder what the party affiliation internal breakdown is.

It will be interesting to see what happens with their respective 'convention bumps'. I'm expecting that Hillary will not get much of one (but the press will spin hard to make it seem to be there) and it will fade to a decrease within a week. Not sure about Trump. It depends on the behavior of the GOPe mugs he's giving speaking slots to. If they back-stab then that will be the story for a week. If they fall in line, then Trump gets a good bump that holds.

Much also depends on what happens in the streets outside the conventions. Most of what we can anticipate will redound to Trump's benefit.

People are sick and tired of a dysfunctional government that is totally unresponsive to the people and more interested in helping and covering for our enemies than for traditional American values.

The Fake Hillary lead was making them more of a laughingstock than they usually are so they had to even it up

I don't understand this statement: if you ask "Trump voters" and "Clinton voters", well, OF COURSE their choice is set.

How can you say that 10 percent of Trump voters or 12 percent of Clinton voters haven't decided yet?

If the msm saying it’s a tie, then it’s a landslide for Trump.

More delusion from the counter-royalists.

The serfs love Queen Hillary!

Her smile is like the warmth of the sun!

She rules over us by divine right!

She is descended from the Moon God!

Long live Queen Hillary!

Tied going into the conventions.

The Democrat convention will consist of media and pols bashing Trump 24/7.

The Republican convention will consist of media and pols bashing Trump 24/7.

Being tied right now is an incredibly good position. At the convention, Donald will know how to put on a great show and have his family around. He just has to seem somewhat normal to show how nasty the Left is.

Hillary and her cohert, on the other hand, will be out there screeching to the moon. She will look unhinged to normal people.

They have a night dedicated to Benghazi,that,if I’m not mistaken a night to Bill Clinton’s sex exploits.
That is a mistake,that will just turn people off,there should be a night dedicated to Hillary and Bills crooked foundation,that would spur an investigation that needs to be had and let the majority of dolts who nothing about it some insight
