Poll: "Nine weeks out, a near even race"
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton start the race to November 8 on essentially even ground, with Trump edging Clinton by a scant two points among likely voters, and the contest sparking sharp divisions along demographic lines in a new CNN/ORC Poll.
Trump tops Clinton 45% to 43% in the new survey, with Libertarian Gary Johnson standing at 7% among likely voters in this poll and the Green Party's Jill Stein at just 2%.

The fact they are doing this this early and not in the last 2 weeks tells me how off these polls have been. You will get another rigged Hillary bounce after each debate but in the final poll the polls have to be correct or the pollster becomes a joke like Zogby.
PA, IA, WI, NH, MI as well; unsure about Trump in VA; he must win NC, FL and OH and then enough of the remainder. Pray without ceasing that God will have mercy on our nation, allow Trump/Pence to win and lead wisely; and enable us to avert a catastrophe.
I forgot NV and perhaps CO if Johnson takes enough Clinton votes instead of disaffected GOP votes.
If CNN is reporting Trump with a two point lead, then the reality is that the CLINTON NEWS NETWORK can’t hide the fact that He has surged ahead of Hellary is behind......
.....Trump may actually be ten points ahead......break it out already!
Wow! Trump ahead in Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Ohio and tied in Maine and WIsconsin.
Johnson is the Goldman Sachs, GOPe stooge.....(the Libertarian Party affilitation is a ruse).....Johnson’s entire role is to draw Republican votes away from Trump
“In truth, however, this “blue wall” doesn’t exist. The Electoral College does not give a clear advantage to either political party. Democrats have won the electoral vote in four of the past six presidential elections because they have won the popular vote in five of the past six presidential elections. Indeed, one need look back only four Olympiads—to the year of Michael Phelps’s first Olympics—to find an example of a Democratic nominee losing the electoral vote despite winning the national popular vote—and by more than half a percentage point. There is no recent example of a Republican nominee suffering the same fate.”
“Therefore, if the past four presidential elections had been dead-even in the popular vote (with equal movement in all states to get to that result), Republican nominees’ average tally would have been 267 electoral votes to Democratic nominees’ 271. That’s an awfully small wall.”
“There are plenty of paths to 270 electoral votes for Trump. They all involve his winning, or coming very close in, the national popular vote. Odds are that the electoral-vote winner will closely track the popular-vote winner. If Clinton ends up losing the popular vote by more than a couple of points, the phantom “blue wall” isn’t going to save her.”
Ooops!! Sorry forgot to post link to just previous comment!!
Sorry about that!

Remember, this is the poll that asks for the “youngest voter in the home,” so Trump’s lead is HUGE.
Sorry Charlie, when lying CNN has Trump up 2, in actuality he is up 5-10.
“All of this talk about a huge 3rd party vote was always BS.”
TRUMP IS THE THIRD PARTY VOTE!
What page did you see that on?
The poll is likely weighted Dem+10 and Trump is still up 2 pts.
It would be a hoot, but then they'd say Trump tried to get her to drink poison.
I don’t think so because Assange said that what he has will send her to prison. I don’t think he’s taking it all in how totally our government is rotten to the core. But maybe the Parkinson’s will matter if it’s allowed to get out.
I’m pretty sure those Romney signs were put up before his magic moment with Candy. Also, I’m pretty sure there was vote fraud, but Mittens definitely took a late race dive.
This was on the earlier poll that had Cankles up by 11 or so. Maybe they aren’t doing that now-—or maybe they just took the line out of their methodology once I called them on it?
Remember the Mormon guy (don't remember his name, also from the CIA) who has gotten on ballots in almost all of the states (I think about 9) with a high number of Mormons.
If Mittens promotes him through the church or whatever, that would take a small percentage away from Trump. I would revel in having this spoiler get a few percent and have Trump so strong it doesn't matter.
NBC put out a national poll saying Trump down six.
I mean, did I call it, or what? Those two are so predictable. Both used Survey Monkey too.
Trump has a better chance of winning Vermont than The Former Twelfth Lady has of winning Mississippi.
