... The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly White House Watch survey shows Clinton taking a four-point lead over Trump – 42% to 38% - among Likely U.S. Voters. Fifteen percent (15%) still prefer some other candidate, while five percent (5%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
A week ago, it was Clinton 39%, Trump 38%. The race has essentially been tied in Rasmussen Reports surveys since last October. Trump had his best showing a month ago, leading Clinton 42% to 37%. The latest finding is Clinton’s high to date. ...

and the delicate flower white generation feels more sympathy for blacks and hispanics than their own family, including pop, who works like a dog.
Now, he’s just a nice guy but an old racist to them.
The Rasmussen report poll says June 2. Why is a week old poll even relevant?
Yep, they like ‘money fur nuthin’. The appeal of free stuff and dependency seems to be much preferred over personal responsibility and freedom in this country.
It is not they vote Democrat, they just stop voting until recently, who do you think is showing up to the Republican primary in droves? These guys. Some of these people haven’t voted in decades or never voted before because they never had a reason to. Until now.
These poll numbers showing the race “close” will help Trump more then Crooked Hillary, Crooked Hillary has no enthusiasm in her campaign, she believes she will just squeak by a win, like she did with Bernie, if it wasn’t for paid off super delegates, she wouldn’t even win her party’s nomination. However on the Trump side, he has very passionate followers that is growing daily, he has people who want to win, this will become a big asset for him. The energy is on the Trump side.
Good thoughtful points. The phenomena of Reagan Democrats comes to mind.
I am always suspect of these polls . I am more comfortable seeing the opposition slightly ahead of my candidate . Somehow I believe it motivates the lessor’s supporters to come out in bigger numbers on election day .

The person who couldn’t protect an ambassador in a third world country wants us to believe she is qualified to protect the country.
TRUMP NEEDS TO MAKE THAT POINT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Breaking Poll=> Trump on Track to Win More Black Votes Than Any GOP Candidate Since 1960

Agreed. Trump’s supporters are far more enthusiastic than Hillary’s. I think Trump wins this election by a comfortable margin. For Hillary to win it’s going to require fraud on an epic scale, far bigger and more extensive than the usual Democrat vote stealing operations.

Media wants to cover the Clinton dirt while exposing Trump.
You’re right.

Yes. Absolutely. The really telling numbers are that neither of them have gotten past the low 40% mark, and 15% want someone else. This underscores several important points. One is that the VP pick will probably have more impact this election than in the past. Another, and a very important point, is that Trump needs to polish his populist message, bypass the media, and take a hopeful anti-politics as usual message directly to the people. Regarding the Mexican heritage judge issue, he should just go right to the people with a:
“My friends, my businesses have always been diverse, because I choose the best people - and the best people come from all walks of life. I have no prejudices or biases, except for honesty, hard work, and integrity - which as your President, working for you, I will demand from everyone in government - Republican or Democrat, woman or man, irrespective of race, color, background etc. Building a wall has nothing to do with racism, at any level and in any way. National borders aren't about racism. They are about sovereignty and protecting all the people of your nation, whatever their background, race or heritage. Protecting the United States is the most important function of the President, the Commander in Chief, after all.”
“When I made my comments about judge Curiel, they were not made because he has a Mexican heritage from his parents. I think that's wonderful. My comments about fairness were made because he has personally identified himself with groups connected to an ideology that believes large swaths of the US Southwest belong to Mexico, and who do not believe we have a right to have a border as such. He is aligned with groups who believe we should have an open southern border, and an amnesty approach to those who came here illegally. I have been very adamant and consistent about my position, which is that we have a right to have secure borders, both southern and northern, and to require and demand that people only come here legally. It's the only way to ensure our safety, and to prevent our goodwill and compassion from being used to hurt us. To call this racist is so very wrong, and is motivated by the same deceitful aspect of politics that has left so many of you disillusioned. Finally, just to clarify, Mexico is a country, not a race, just like America is a county, not a race. Let's not let those who for various reasons want to diminish our sovereignty twist the facts to fit their agenda.”
This is the old Timmy and his marker board ploy....telling Repubs...relax, don't vote...it's all over.
And no one has ever noticed...If Gore had won his own state, he would have won the election without Florida.
I think Obama was fraud on an epic scale.
thank you
Exactly this, it really doesn't matter what we here think, its what "they" think. Echo chamber here has little influence over them.
My background in Statistics, survey formation and execution, and a PhD in conservatism (from the Rush Limbaugh Institute), tells me to not trust polls and more importantly, the organization doing them. Do I trust Rasmussen? No. Why not?
I don’t know his business model. It may profit him more to be off this early on, but to approach the bullseye as we get closer to November. Yes, I mean that. Lying to the people may financially benefit a pollster to string us along.
Leading questions, oversampling, conservatives like me hanging up on pollsters...it all affects the poll.
