August 25, 2016 - Clinton Tops 50 Percent, Leads Trump By 10 Points, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Voters Like Clinton More Than Trump - But Not Much Quinnipiac University Polling Logo PDF format
In the battle of the unloved presidential candidates, Democrat Hillary Clinton tops the magical 50 percent mark among American likely voters, leading Republican Donald Trump 51 - 41 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.
When third party candidates are added to the mix, Clinton gets 45 percent with Trump at 38 percent, Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson at 10 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. This survey of likely voters can not be compared with results of earlier surveys of registered voters.
Women and non-white voters propel Clinton in the head-to-head matchup. Women back her 60 - 36 percent. Men back Trump 48 - 42 percent. White voters back Trump 52 - 41 percent. Non-white voters back Clinton 77 - 15 percent.
A total of 44 percent of American likely voters like Clinton "a lot" or "a little," while 47 percent dislike her "a little" or "a lot," and 8 percent hate her.
A total of 35 percent of voters like Trump "a lot" or "a little," while 53 percent dislike him "a little" or a lot," and 10 percent hate him.

I agree with your assessment - he’s had a couple of bad weeks, but seems to be turning it around. I’m hoping his new leadership team will help him to more successfully navigate through this MSM sh@tstorm.
I will not throw this poll, we have to see what was in last Qunnipac poll. I think it was 15+. So Hillary is losing.
Internals from Quinnipiac. These percentages are already weighted. They do not give the non-weighted numbers..
“This RDD telephone survey was conducted from August 18 - 24, 2016 throughout the nation.

Kinda smacks of the pre-Brexit vote polls. On the eve of the vote, the supposedly authoritative polls had the Stay vote ahead of the Leave vote by six points. Leave won by four percentage points. So, a 10-point turnaround in 24 hours... Either a VERY impressive last-ditch effort by the Brexit supporters or the polls were pure, unadulterated BS.
Inquiring [uninformed] minds want to know...
Do you think its due to Trumps bigoted/racist statements or his softening on immigration? The alt right is fleeing to support hil-liar-y..?
Sorry for my ignorance but can you give us the “polling for dummies” version? How does weighted vs non-weighted percentages affect the results?
Even more important...how many respondents hung up or refused to answer.
Quinnipiac is usually a left leaning poll. On the other hand, it was less than a month ago that the Trump camp was harping about the Quinnipiac poll that showed him almost tied with Hillary.
Here’s the deal. Two points:
1. IF you belong to a union would you answer the poll honestly for Trump from some stranger on the phone? I say no freekin way would you take such a risk. You fill in what might happen to you and/or your family.
2. I’m a woman, college edumakated and I’m in favor of Trump, know lots of lady friends / relatives that also will VOTE FOR TRUMP.
So, take these polls and stuff them. I know they’re probably not all that off, but this election is different. All the GOPe are joining the Dems in trying to let DJTrump hang out there all by himself to dry. He’s doing a bang up job. The art of the deal is to blast out first with an outrageous request, then back off getting most all of what you really want. Hence.... toss them all out and now softening up.
PIAPS (pig in a pantsuit) is THE most corrupt person to ever run for prez. Dear lord....... may Trump win this election. If she lies now, sells influence now, just think what she will do as president.
“44 percent of American likely voters like Clinton “a lot” or “a little,””
I ain’t buying it.
Well, Jonno, it appears Quinnipiac differs from Rasmussen and the LA and UPI polls SUBSTANTIALLY.
Why don’t you go back and tell your boss Hillary about THEM?
Troll.
Simply DON’T BELIEVE THE POLL OR THEIR statistics, or “Jonno” either.
UPI, LA TIMES and Rasmussen have them essentially neck and neck.
This is all more BS from Quinnipiac and Trolls like Jonno.
Before Cleveland, there were daily reports of top democrats ‘freaking out’ over their internal polling showing Clinton far behind Trump.
Suddenly, a media campaign emerges that accuses Trump of every awful thing imaginable and a slew of polls are reported where she leads by double digits.
What changed?
Also, it's a live phone poll, so if you believe in a "Trump Effect" it wouldn't pick that up those Trump voters.
Go troll somewhere else.
If it is anything it is that the mass majority of folks in this country are ignorant. They make no effort to understand what is true, and so allow themselves to be spoonfed MSM pap & pablum.
btw - if you think Trump is a bigot or a racist, then you’re a tool.
