Donald Trump has pulled into an effective tie with Democratic rival Hillary Clinton

The Republican presidential candidate has erased a substantial deficit as he consolidated support among his party's likely voters in recent weeks, according to a Reuters/Ipsos national tracking poll released Friday. The poll showed 40 per cent of likely voters supporting Trump and 39 per cent backing Clinton for the week of 26 August to 1 September. Mrs Clinton's support has dropped steadily in the weekly tracking poll since August 25, eliminating what had been a eight-point lead for her.

Mr Trump's gains came as Republican support for their party's candidate jumped by six per cent over the past two weeks, to about 78 per cent.
That is still below the 85 per cent support Republican nominee Mitt Romney enjoyed in the summer of 2012, but the improvement helps explain Mr Trump's rise in the poll. The Reuters/Ipsos poll is conducted online in English in all 50 states.

The latest poll surveyed 1,804 likely voters over the course of the week; it had a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of three per cent.
Different polls have produced widely different results over the course of the campaign. In part that's because some, like Reuters/Ipsos, have attempted to measure the preferences of who's likely to vote, while others have surveyed the larger pool of all registered voters.

A combination of Trump doing much better for himself and Hillary's family of dead Albatross strung around her neck lol.
 
back to pre-convention levels? So Hillary will hide and Trump will bluster / the media will spin and it's the same old same old.

Except Trump isn't the same old Trump lol.

He's on a roll actually and has plenty of time to over take Hillary before November. Hillary is going to have to DO something in order to recapture the momentum. She's not going to get away with the passive approach.

Nobody even knows her message because all you hear about are her emails, lying about the emails to the FBI, the Clinton Foundation and etc.

If I was in her campaign I'd be worried. Her campaign leads by a touchdown in the middle of the fourth quarter but the other team is running the ball down their throat.
 
Back in July Nate Silver gave Trump a 57% chance of winning. A week or so ago Hillary was up 10 points on Trump and Silver said she had an 80% chance of winning. I have to take any poll with a grain of salt.

true she has no message. she never did. she's running an exclusive negative campaign.
Look for $143 million in Trump bashing this month (what she raised last month).

She a Big Donor lying warmonger -she can't run on her record. All she can do is mouth shit like "Make America Equal".

But Democrats don't care -they never did when the DNC steamrolled Bernie, and they have the electoral advantage

She did milk the donors for some big bucks while Trump has been campaigning.

Though I look for Hillary to stay above the radar---as long as she can get away with it. Hell, I'd hide too. You can't blame her. She'll trot her surrogates out in front of the cameras in the meantime.

Hillary hides for good reasons. I don't think she'll come out unless things get desperate. The debates are a bit of an exception but those are moderated.

It should be interesting.
 
Moderated..:palm: trumpf has zero respect for those mods & just talks right over them, changes questions & essentially says whatever he wants & is not held accountable to the question~when he isn't insulting & name calling................

Well for one, national polls at that small a sample are not that meaningful given our electoral system. Secondly though Clinton has seen a small decline where have those voters gone? Trump has not seen a corresponding increase in his poll numbers.

I am going to enjoy ragging you about this if Trump wins. You thought Remain would win and you got that wrong.

Remain? Huh? You said that I said something similar about Brexit when I hadn't. In fact I made no predictions on Brexit. I still haven't.
 
I've seen so few polls where Trump breaks 40%. I think his ceiling isn't much more than that. He'll have to hope for a strong 3rd party showing in order to win.

Any other Dem but Clinton, and this wouldn't be a contest.

If he wins, it will certainly be devastating. But the silver lining is that his most vocal supporters will be forever blamed & marginalized (though I thought the same about Iraq War cheerleaders, and they seemed to have evaded accountability for the most part).
