Clinton leads Trump by 6 points after Democratic confab: Reuters/Ipsos poll

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton held a 6- percentage-point lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll with new wording that was released on Friday, the day after she formally accepted her party’s nomination for the Nov. 8 election.

Nearly 41 percent of likely voters favor Clinton, 35 percent favor Trump, and 25 percent picked “Other,” according to the new July 25-29 online poll of 1,043 likely voters, which overlapped with the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

The poll has a credibility interval of 4 percentage points.

The presidential tracking poll reflects a slight change of wording from previous surveys, replacing the “Neither/Other” option given to respondents with just “Other.” An internal review had found the word “Neither” has, at times, siphoned support away from one or the other candidate. [nL4N1AB4I6]

Former Secretary of State Clinton delivered an upbeat keynote address at the Democratic convention on Thursday night, as she became the first woman to accept the presidential nomination from a major party. [nL1N1AD041]

In the biggest speech of her more than 25-year-old career in the public eye, Clinton, 68, cast herself as a steady leader at a “moment of reckoning” for the country, and contrasted her character with what she described as Trump’s dangerous and volatile temperament.

Remember even after rigging these polls, roto reuter can still only giver her a 5 point nothing bump

Jeez, Hillary can’t win even when she cheats

I was expecting a 20 point bump from the fraud MSMs

The best they can do is 5?

Trump must be killing her in the real polls

So an overnight 13 point swing based on a handful of orchestrated deceit and one half-assed speech? I don’t think so.

And now we know why Reuters polls to date consistently had Clinton up significantly relative to other polls. Because they were designed to be.

Not concerned too much with the head to head polls- even the phony ones.

Yes, the re-jiggering of the poll just happened, purely by coincidence, ‘gosh who would have thought of it?’, life sure is funny...

...AT THE RIGHT TIME TO PRODUCE A “CONVENTION BOUNCE” FOR HILLARY.

Funny because this means there is no bump at all. Reuters themselves explained that when they changed the wording in the question an advantage for Trump 40.2% vs 38.5% was changed to an.advantage for Hillary roughly 40% vs 36% (see Zerohedge.com). So with just a lottle bit of extra fudging and you have 41 vs 35.

See that was simple wasn’t it? But science it is not. Propaganda and other words come to mind.

RCP shows Reuters/Ipsos poll as Clinton +5 in a head to head or a tie if Johnson and Stein are included. RCP had the same Reuters/Ipsos poll (7-16 .. 7-20) previously having Clinton +4 in a 2way or4way so both Clinton and Trump improved in this week’s tally.

lol. Pretty soon their poll will give the choices”

A. History-Making First Woman President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

B. Racist Nazi Trump.

And the Dems wonder why Trump's polling numbers might not be accurate.
