Snake Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's lead over Republican rival Donald Trump narrowed to less than 3 percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday, down from nearly eight points on Monday. About 42 percent of likely voters favored Clinton, to Trump's 39 percent, according to the July 31-Aug. 4 online poll of 1,154 likely voters. The poll had a credibility interval of plus or minus 3 percentage points, meaning that the results suggest the race is roughly even. Among registered voters over the same period, Clinton held a lead of five percentage points, down from eight percentage points on Monday, according to the poll. The reasons behind the shift were unclear. Clinton had pulled well ahead of Trump on the heels of the Democratic National Convention last week, where she became the first woman to accept the U.S. presidential nomination from a major political party. Since then, Trump has engaged in a days-long feud with the family of an American soldier killed in Iraq and squabbled with the Republican leadership over his comments and leadership turmoil within his campaign. Trump, in recent days, however, has sought to refocus. On Friday he announced his economic policy advisory team, said he would deliver an economic policy speech early next week, and was expected to endorse U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, the top U.S. elected Republican, who is seeking his 10th term in Congress. An average of polls aggregated by Real Clear Politics showed Clinton ahead of Trump by 6.8 percentage points on Friday, up from 3.9 on Aug. 1. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-poll-idUSKCN10G2BQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Have you guys noticed Obama has responded to every single criticism from trump? Why doesn't he just ignore it? Why is it nobody calls him out on that? Is Obama thin skinned, and does he have the right temperment to be the president? Lefty double standards clearly on display here.

Who's mentioned demographics before? Who's mentioned Dump has no chance? Who's mentioned Hillary will win the swing states? . If many of you can't comprehend how the electorate is shifting, how conservative many of you on this forum are, and how absolutley u qualified Rump is - I'll continue to enjoy owning your asses by simply posting the facts and current events. The defense of a Rumps Khan comments on here is quite telling and pathetic. Most of America disagrees with the forum knuckledraggers. Take a look fella's There has clearly been a significant movement toward Clinton in the last week," said Ken Goldstein, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco and polling analyst for Bloomberg Politics. "Some of it is a Clinton post-convention bounce, but more of it seems to be a Trump deflation or implosion." A new poll in Pennsylvania, seen by Trump's top strategists as a crucial bellwether, finds him trailing Clinton by 11 points (49 percent to 38 percent) among likely voters surveyed by Franklin & Marshall Colleghttp://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-08-05/-trump-is-cratering-new-polls-signal-deep-trouble-for-republican-nominee?cmpid=yhoo.headline&yptr=yahooe. "Real talk: Trump is cratering." Republican pollster Frank Luntz An electoral vote-rich state that 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney lost by just 5 points, the Keystone State is arguably a must-win battleground for Trump due to demographics that are uniquely suited to his appeal. It is 20 percent whiter than the U.S. as a whole, and has a large working class base that is reeling from the loss of manufacturing jobs and sympathetic to Trump's anti-trade views. The survey found that Trump's advantages among white men and voters without a college degree are erased by his larger deficits among white women and college graduates. And he's down by 69 points among nonwhite voters, the poll found. "Given the fact that his assault on Hispanics has made it far more difficult to win many of the other swing states—like Colorado, Nevada and Florida—then Pennsylvania becomes ever more critical for Trump to put the pieces together to get to 270 electoral votes," said Whit Ayres, a leading Republican pollster.
