Clinton's lead over Trump slips after Florida shooting: Reuters/Ipsos poll

Donald Trump chipped away at Hillary Clinton's lead in the presidential race this week, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday, as the candidates clashed over how to respond to the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

The poll, conducted from Monday to Friday, showed Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, with a 10.7 point lead among likely voters over Trump, her likely Republican rival in the November presidential election. That's down from a lead of 14.3 points for Clinton on Sunday, the day an American-born shooter who declared allegiance to militant group Islamic State killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

Trump seized on the attack to sharpen his security proposals, saying he would block immigration to the United States from any country with a "proven history of terrorism" against America and its allies if elected. The pledge fine-tuned an earlier vow, made after the attacks last year in Paris and California, to ban the entry of all Muslims into the United States....

It's a good start. Here's the finish:

1) Ban all future Muslim immigration permanently, not just temporarily.

2) Deport the millions of Muslims already here who have green cards, but aren’t yet citizens, back to their countries of origin.

3) Surveil the hell out of mosques and alleged “Islamic civil rights” orgs, and revoke the citizenship of anyone who has any ties whatsoever to Islamic terrorism. (And that includes everyone in CAIR).

4) Build that damn wall.

I’m gonna see posts like this 10000 times before the election. And I dont blame you for being mad.

But how about LET’S GET SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING before the election about fraud!!

Do I know what it is? #### no.

But that should be the priority of the RNC and the republican party and if someone here knows what we can do to help, let us know.

KNOWING what’s gonna happen and doing nothing is so sad.

We have more reason to put muslims in internment camps than we did the Japanese.

Good sarcasm, Lurkinanloomin. The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.

It was an online poll. Meaningless.

And Zer0 says that the victims being armed for self defense at the Pulse defies “common sense.”

Where do they get this stuff? But, they should keep saying it.

There never was a lead; all bogus MSM and Liberal BS.

Absolutely no one and I mean no one is voting for the Benghazi murderess.

Only name mentioned is Trump. Get that Ryan, it’s Trump!!!

OANN/ Gravis Marketing Poll Clinton 51%, Trump 49%

After correcting for bias, Clinton's national lead in CBS News poll evaporates

He’d have made up even more ground if the GOPe would get in the game and start calling out Obama and Clinton. Sessions and McCain (half back) were the only ones to hit them hard.

Trumpo needs to focus on security, jobs and immigration, along with Clinton’s crimes. That’s it, no more rambling, just hit her and Obama hard over and over, till they bleed voters.
