With 16 days to go until November 8, Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 2 percentage points — 43% to 41% — in a four-way race, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll.
Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson saw his support held steady at 7%, while the Green Party's Jill Stein dipped to 3%.
Unrounded, Trump leads 42.6% to 40.8% — a 1.8-point edge — with Johnson at 7.2% and Stein at 3.3%.
Trump also holds a nearly one-point lead in a two-way matchup — 43.2% to 42.3%.

I heard it in the car. My blood is boiling as a result. Wonder how much of a payday he got to peddle this trash.
It’s what the GOPe wants to happen.
Trump is out there all alone .... abandoned by the GOP. His victory is in our hands, alone.
When he wins ... we need to remember what the GOP failed to do.
Just sayin’ :-)
I couldn't agree more, see my tagline.
Republicans and sadly many Americans in general are the worst of fair weather friends.
Someone needs to change the title of this thread, because youre right, we lost a two point spread in one day. All tied now. This seems to confirm the down tick in the la times poll. Not good for us at all and hopefully we can reverse this. Maybe this is what the pundits and Kelly Anne Conway have been seeing.

voter fraud
I totally agree. Rallies are fun but only preach to choir.
Trump needs to put out commercials of him running down his First 100 Days plan, with the bullet points superimposed on the screen, and run them constantly in the swing states.
The real point is that someone should take this poll to Trmump’s campaign manager. I still can not get over what she said.
MTV in general, and Madonna specifically, destroyed our women 30 years ago when they were toddlers sat in front of the tv to keep them occupied.
3 major issues, country headed in wrong direction, immigration and hillary is unfit and should have been charged are all close to 60% or over, thus I suggest Trump will get at least 50% of the vote if turnout is good with people concerned greatly about one or more of these 3 major issues.
jobs, corruption and security from illegal aliens-terrorists TRUMP everything else IMO most people 70% don’t trust the media.
few people want more of obama my 2 cents fwiw
The women’s vote.. No-fault divorce, feminism, easy abortions and gov single mom entitlements put American woman on a bad path. The fruits from it are bitter, including their voting.
Honestly I've been taking all the national polls with a grain of salt. We have no idea where their respondents are located at and in what states. Take too many from one region and you get one result. Take too many from another and you wind up with polls that say Hillary is up by 12. I've been paying more attention to state polls to try and get a feel for the electoral votes. I would tend to trust those more because the sample is all within that state's borders. I think those are showing that Trump has his work cut out for him but that this race is still very winnable.
“....front of the tv to keep them occupied...”
Guilty!!!!
(but when I grew up it was distinct white and black hats.....Jonny quest, Flinstones)
Trump campaigns, she hides. He loses 2 points in one day, she stays the same. Nothing he does is good enough. She could st*ck her foot in a bucket of sh*t and it will turn gold. Wikileaks confirms to the world what we already know. She’s a criminal who should in prison, but she goes up in the polls. Now the one poll being touted as the most accurate and Trump is on the verge of losing. This is like something from the Twilight Zone, and I’m beginning to think the fix is in and if Trump got 100,000,000 voters on election day, only a a fourth would be counted.
Hillary is polling very well with Women who chose a career and never had kids.
Whodathunkit?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The national pu$$y whipping ploy of Hillery Clinton simply has not worked. Oh, she may have the vote of the majority of women who define themselves as victims as a matter of world view, most women do not, but most woman know what propaganda is.
And for heaven sakes, if the 9 women-Clinton national pu$$y whip ploy were a litmus teat for any presidential candidate, we would not have had Theodore Roosevelt who groped his secretary on a regular basis, JFK had a complete stable of bimbos organized by the Kennedy brothers, and Bull Clinton tapped everything but the family dog with his wife defending him. The dems still think their presidential terms were great.
If this is the basket Clinton is putting all of her eggs in, she has already lost. Her push polls are lying.
Trump is truly at about 50% and he needs to keep right on bringing his message to the swing States.The People are about to speak.
Scratck Theordore Roosevelt and read “ Franklin Roosevelt.”
Via Washington Post:
It was a few weeks before Hillary Clinton would announce her 2016 presidential bid, and she was already worried about money.
“Can we discuss the fundraising plans for first quarter?” her top aide Huma Abedin wrote to other senior staffers in March 2015, noting that Clinton was concerned.
“Is the issue that she’s doing too much? Too little?” asked campaign manager Robby Mook.
Abedin’s succinct reply: “JEB BUSH.”
At the time, donors to the former Florida governor were socking millions into a super PAC, pushing the limits of campaign-finance rules. The stockpiling of seven-figure checks before Bush even declared candidacy spurred a flurry of anxious conversations between Clinton and her staff, according to hacked emails posted by WikiLeaks.
But the former secretary of state had her own financial weapon: a network of political backers that she and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, had methodically cultivated over 40 years.
Determined not to fall behind in the money race, Hillary Clinton ramped up her appeals to rich donors and shrugged off restrictions that President Obama had imposed on his fundraising team.
Even as her advisers fretted about the perception that she was too cozy with wealthy interests, they agreed to let lobbyists bundle checks for her campaign, including those representing some foreign governments, the emails show. Top aides wooed major donors for super PACs, taking advantage of the leeway that campaigns have to legally collaborate with the groups on fundraising.

But we need to behave as if he’s down 5 - and GET OUT THE VOTE!
