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.

We can turn to the Queen for Truth. Except for of course their ‘mentally ill” Solamlians.
The media loves a horse race. They purposely injected drama in their all out attack on Trump earlier in the week.
Now its back to a horse race.
Read my lips: People do not want Hillary.
Ransom for hostages is the reason why.
Since they skew the polling to favor Hitlery by 17%, this means Trump is up by 14%.
It was Reuters who jiggered their polls to give Clinton the lead. So, if her lead has shrunk to 3 points, Trump must actually be way ahead.
Need to remember take a deep breathe and ignore the polls under after Labor Day.
I put a Sicilian Curse on her. Good for 5 points every time :)
GREAT NEWS!

He’s also basically tied in the USC poll too.
Even Carville admitted today that the polls are bogus as they are oversampling Ds at +14 on average.
Trump is up by about 10.
Based on what?
Deduction, logic, and sanity.
I.e., based NOT on the establishment polls.
Keep cursing!! LOL!
I’m tellin ya, slamming her on Twitter in trending threads can reach millions of people in the long run.

Reuters polls were fixed to help Hillary, so it must be Trump +8.
