Hillary Clinton now holds a 10-point lead over Donald Trump, 51 percent to 41 percent, according to results from the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking poll

Clinton's double-digit lead is up from an 8-point gap last week. The 10-point margin is the biggest spread in the tracking poll since the two-way general election match-up was first compared in early May.

In previous weeks, the Republican nominee dominated Clinton among men. This week, however, Trump's margin over Clinton among men is only 5 points, down from a 16-point margin two weeks ago.

Trump's lead among men is down to 5 points? I call BS on that.

“The NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking poll was conducted online August 1 through August 7, 2016 among a national sample of 11,480 adults who say they are registered to vote. Respondents for this non-probability survey were selected from the nearly three million people who take surveys on the SurveyMonkey platform each day. Results have an error estimate of plus or minus 1.2 percentage points. For full results and methodology, click here. “

Registered to vote. In other words, a worthless poll.

We will see after the debates. Personally I don’t think they will happen.

Poll probably taken before the real discussions about Hillary’s health and the photo in Orlando start to sink in. I also agree with the male vote comment as again this is probably yet another oversampling of Democrats or Democrat leaning people.

Neither do I. Hillary has little to gain and everything to lose by showing-up.

“Because the sample is based on those who initially self-selected for participation rather than a probability sample, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated. All surveys may be subject to multiple sources of error, including, but not limited to sampling error, coverage error, and measurement error.”

Even acknowledges that the poll is skewed.

My take from Rush’s show yesterday was that these polls may indeed be accurate. Romney was filling arenas and he lost.

Whose internals?

I guess the Bush crime family and Romney/Ryan/McConnell/McCain are getting what they wanted.

I wouldn’t hold my breath though until after the debates.

The debates will happen. The witch will get the questions in advance. Even if that fact were exposed, the media would justify it by claiming a Trump presidency would so dangerous, they were compelled to do it.

Just another “roll poll,” as in “toilet paper roll.” Cuz that’s all it’s worth.

I think Trump collected nearly as much as Hillary in donations in July -- but has spent nothing on TV ads. So I'm not surprised. But I would like to understand what he's doing (I'm sure that the Democrats would, too!)

I’m having real trouble with the polls this year.

If you look at other indicators—Trump’s social media stats vs Hillary’s are staggering, Trump can fill stadiums, Hillary can’t fill a Taco Bell—something is not right. The poll numbers just aren’t lining up with other indicators.
