With the presidential election set to enter its final two weeks, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump find themselves in a near dead heat at 41% each in a four-way race, the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll shows.
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson edged up to 8% from 7%, while the Green Party's Jill Stein rebounded to 4% from 3%.
Without rounding, Trump stands at 41.1%, 0.1 percentage point behind Clinton's 41.2%. Johnson stands at 7.7%, unrounded, while Stein is at 3.7%.
In a two-way faceoff without the other two candidates excluded, Trump and Clinton are knotted at 42%. On the unrounded data, Trump slightly edges Clinton, 42.3% to 42%.
The poll of 815 likely voters has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.6 percentage points. It had a weighted response of 291 Democrats, 235 Republicans and 271 people who called themselves either "Independents" or "other."
Unlike many other polls, the IBD/TIPP Poll continues to show a tightening race, as the candidates and their surrogates slug it out in public in the waning days until the November 8 polling date.
In the latest Real Clear Politics average of recent polls, Clinton stands at 45.0% to Trump's 39.4%, a 5.6% advantage in the four-way contest. In a head-to-head matchup, Clinton takes 47.9% to Trump's 42.0%, a 5.9% difference.
Among major polls, only Rasmussen, L.A. Times/USC, Reuters/Ipsos and IBD/TIPP Poll consistently show it close. Most other polls show a gap of 4 points or more, with some as high as 12 points in recent polling...

No, no.
Kellyanne Conway said, “We are behind.”
Might as well skip voting and buy more ammo.
Wait a minute...Didnt ABC tell us it was over?
Jimmy Carter was ahead of Reagan by 6 or so points at this point in their election campaign. More focus must be placed on the ECONOMY! The slings and arrows do nothing, people care about their finances.
Yes. This morning they announced that the Beast had a 12 point lead. No use for dems to be bothered with going to the polls and standing in the lines. Go collect your welfare checks instead. /s
NONSENSE!
I would expect all Freepers to be able to see thru this charade at this point.
They are oversampling Democrats big league! That causes a very skewed result.
Kelly Ann’s comments are designed to get you into “vote mode” and to give the despicable liberals a false sense of security, which they have earned.
Rotten should be points ahead if the reality were true, but it’s not!
IBD one was D+ 8 yesterday, and with “likely” voters I believe, and I’m sure this one with this statistical “tie” has a similar advantage.
So stop the lamenting and the sad sacking!!! This are manipulative tactics, do not fall for them ! Get off thy duff and VOTE FOR TRUMP to save our country!!!!
T R U M P !!!!!!!
"Rebounded". If that isn't creative spin, I don't know what is.
But CNN is saying is Hillary is up by double digits, and they would never lie.
Trump draws 20,000 to rallies, Hillery draws 200.
Yeah, dead heat, right.
It shouldn’t even be close.
Sheep, apparently, were meant to be sheared.
I believe the polls are manipulated, Trump has never been behind. I might be wrong, don’t think so.
Happy New Week everyone! We're starting w/ stock futures up here and stock futures down here --as usual. Also par for the course metals futures are down while prices are stable. Yes, it's another brand new week just like so many before...

What is the over sampling of Democrats? Best guess. 2012 had D+6. This is not 2016 as Shillary isn’t as likeable as the Muzzie-In-Chief to the DemocRAT voting hordes.
Not ten minutes ago, I heard on a news radio station (CBS affiliate station) that Clinton was in front by TWELVE POINTS. Didn’t catch the name of the bogus poll, unfortunately.
That was discussed here the other day and the internals had a D+9 sampling. As a result, that CBS poll is indeed bogus.
Did anyone see the photos of Hillary on Drudge this morning?
Dear Lord in Heaven!!!
