With the first presidential debate coming on Monday, Donald Trump has moved to a five-point lead over Hillary Clinton, his biggest advantage since mid-July.
The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch telephone and online survey finds Trump with 44% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 39%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson earns eight percent (8%) of the vote, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein holds steady at two percent (2%). Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are still undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

A slight exhale of relief at this one. Glad to see it.
39% for the “de facto” incumbent, this late in the game, is devestating!
Give it a few weeks. This may be a Reaganesque victory.
It offsets one of the BS NBC polls in the RCP average...
Mourning Joe had Trump losing to Hillary BIG TIME!!
ABC news this morning said Trump was down by 7.
Or was it NBC? Turned it off too quick.
That’s the BS NBC/WSJ poll.. it’s also head to head- as Preibus stated on FOX, they always cite the worst polls (4 way, it was 6 points)
Yeah, it sure does. Why the NBC/"Survey Monkey" poll is even considered in the mix is a mystery -- it's an online survey. As such, it has no validity. As for the NBC/WSJ one, 47% voted for Obama in 2012, while 33% did not.. a wildly disproportionate sampling, since Obama's margin of victory in 2012 was 3.9% Both NBC polls were laced with more BS than a Brahma on a steady diet of baked beans.
National polls mean nothing. The election will be decided by a handful of states. Polling of likely voters there are all the matter. And that matters little before the debates.
I said it when HRC was ahead. I’m saying it now. This is meaningless. GO VOTE! GO TRUMP! #NeverHRC
Latest Illiinos poll. She’s only up 6. Illinois!!
Know exactly how you feel!!!
He should be blowing her to smithereens by double digits at this point!!!
Our country is on life support!!!
Trump is the doctor we must have to bring us back to life!!!
Hildabeast is Nurse Ratched!!!
Raus just posted their weekly poll. Trump plus 3.
Of course it’s about the states- but a 3% lead nationally translates into a near certain EV win... with an incredibly high level of confidence
Let me guess... there were mile-wide smiles all around.
I have said from the beginning TRUMP to take 47 states.
Who'da thunk... "Battleground Illinois," along with "Battleground Maine" and "Battleground Minnesota!"
Sorry. Raus??
If she only wins IL by 6 points we are looking at 300 EV's for Trump/Pence
