Hillary Clinton is 10 points ahead of Donald Trump in a national poll just over a month from Election Day.
The Democratic nominee leads her Republican rival 50 percent to 40 percent among likely voters in the Fairleigh Dickinson University survey released Wednesday.
ADVERTISEMENT Pollsters found Clinton’s edge is roughly unchanged when respondents are asked about third-party candidates.
Clinton leads Trump, 45 percent to 36 percent, in a four-way matchup, with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson grabbing 11 percent and the Green Party's Jill Stein nabbing 3 percent.

(sigh) I have no idea if any of these polls are accurate anymore. I hate to think 2012 is happening all over again.
What happened in 2012?
A repeat of 2012 is what I’ve predicted all along. The person asking himself “why am I not ahead by 50 points?” really could be Trump, except Trump acts like Trump and is thus the only candidate capable of losing to Hillary Clinton.
Other polls have them nearly even, still others report Trump ahead by double digits... What all this really says is that polling is an inexact “science” at best. It is subject to all kinds of biases and offsets. Ultimately what counts are ballots - and how badly the immensely corrupt democrats cheat in an attempt to steal the election through fraud.
Never heard of it. Do they have any sort of track record or is this just some fly by night push poll?
Propaganda?!
Well if the Polls are right and the nation is going whole hog for Hillary then we have truly reached the end and time to bunker in...
It’s just such a big jump in a few days time. I looked at the internals and it didn’t seem to be bias weighted, unless I missed something.
The man/woman split was the same as the 2012 turn out.
Same here.
It is like a bunker here.

UGH!
This poll says something, that polls says something else.
Seven Hells what are we to make of this?
Isn’t this where Chuck Todd started out? It’s also fun to read some of the moonbat comments following the article, some of them are just that brutal, lol.
These polls are bull. Total smokescreen by the liberal media. Have faith. God will deliver Trump. If not we are all doomed.
D + 5.
Hillary is up 10 +?
Yeah, sure.
The horrible libs are attempting to demoralize us good Americans by skewing the polls.
I’m sure Hillary is spending plenty of money to make this happen.
Methodology - The Fairleigh Dickinson University poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone September 28-October 2, 2016 among a random national sample of 862 registered voters, including 788 likely voters. Results have a margin of sampling error of +/- 4.4 percentage points for likely voters (the basis for the analysis presented in this press release), including the design effect.
Survey results are also subject to non-sampling error. This kind of error, which cannot be measured, arises from a number of factors including, but not limited to, non-response (eligible individuals refusing to be interviewed), question wording, the order in which questions are asked, and variations among interviewers.
Interviews were conducted by SSRS of Media, Pennsylvania, with professionally trained interviewers using a CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) system. Random selection is achieved by computerized random-digit dialing. This technique gives every person with a landline or cellular phone number (including those with unlisted numbers) an equal chance of being selected
Oversampled indies.

If she has done something to cause this I sure as hell can’t figure out what it is.
American Conservatives are NOT PARTICIPATING in the INET/Phone Polling. They have decided that the polling groups will skew the results toward the “normalized candidate”.
The surprise will happen on NOV07...a land-slide that cannot be “stolen”.
Keep your powder dry my FRiends.
I hang up on all poll takers.
