Donald Trump ahead of Hillary Clinton in latest opinion polls

Republican nominee creeps past Democratic candidate in some surveys, but aggregators still put Ms Clinton ahead



Donald Trump has established a slight lead over Hillary Clinton in the US presidential election race, according to new opinion polls.

The Republican candidate had been lagging behind, but may have crept ahead of the Democratic nominee in the last week, the surveys suggested.

However, forecasters say Mr Trump's lead was still within the polls’ error margins and experts emphasised it was too soon to callthe election outcome.

Survey data released by American polling company Rasmussen Reports showed the lead Ms Clinton had enjoyed for most of the contest had disappeared, and put her behind Mr Trump for the first time since mid-July.

The latest weekly White House Watch report by the group, which targets likely voters by telephone and online survey, showed Mr Trump to have the support of 40 per cent of the US electorate, versus 39 per cent who said they supported Ms Clinton. The results are very different to the previous week's report, which put Ms Clinton at 42% and Mr Trump at 38%.

On Friday, Reuters reported the Republican candidate had pulled into a tie with his Democratic rival, based on their latest national tracking poll, produced in collaboration with Ipsos.
The poll showed the same results as the Rasmussen Reports datafor the week beginning 26 August.

The news agency reported that Mr Trump has erased a substantial deficit and consolidated support among his party's likely voters in recent weeks.

Mr Trump's support among Republican voters increased six percentage points in the past fortnight, Reuters/Ipsos found, to about 78 per cent.

Meanwhile Ms Clinton has faced renewed criticism over her handling of classified information while serving as US secretaryof state, and her family's charitable foundation has come under intense scrutiny over donations it accepted.

Polling aggregators, which calculate averages of major polls, have shown that Ms Clinton’s lead has been shrinking for the past few weeks. But in contradiction to the two new surveys, those averages still put her ahead of Mr Trump by between three and six percentage points.

Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said he remained convinced Ms Clinton was ahead.

“There has been a closing that’s completely natural,” Mr Sabato said.

“Every four years, you have two national party conventions that produce a bounce of varying sizes. Clinton got a substantial bounce this year that lasted for a full month. It’s usually gone around Labor Day, and by then we’ll be where we should be, which is right around four to five points [lead for Ms Clinton]”

Mr Trump has performed better this year in online or automated polls than in ones conducted by people.

Commentators say this could be because of 'shy' Trump voters who are ashamed to say they support the controversial candidate, but will turn out to vote for him on the day.

"We think there's a big hidden Trump vote in this country," campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told NBC last week.

I've noticed that some of the leftist crazies have now totally given up on denying that the Hildebeest is very ill, sickly, and seemingly on her death bed. They have now resorted to comparing her to FDR and chirping about what a wheelchair-bound polio patient can do. I'm serious! No one can make this $hit up!

If the old hag suddenly had a stroke and collapsed into the grave, the same crazies would lobby for her posthumous election, while undoubtedly citing the accomplishments of MLK after his death, which were the "greatest in all of the world's recorded history until Obama's arrival." ROFL!

The idiots! LOL!

CNBC types on MORNING JOE use words such as cavalier re her behavior.

CAVALIER?

She mishandled classified documents. She mishandled TOP SECRET documents and these fools sitting behind microphones are just ONE ex of why the Sadaam Hussein, Castro's and many others dictators get into power and stay in power. Blue Berets?

FRIG.. GIVE THEM I SUPPORT HILLARY BUTTONS. So what if SHE is the one that is dangerous. She is the one that showed bad judgement, bad decisions.

Try to paint TRUMP as the risk.

SORRY JOE, MIKA, David A, Mark H, Steve R and other so called respectable journalists. I hope to meet you in person one day to look you in the eye and simply say.. UZE 5/6/100/1000/40M were couldn't make one complete frigging IDIOT!

BLAME THE FBI for the recent release and HIllary's nefarious behavior re the LAW re classified documents, TOP secret documents and the INTENTIONAL use of a private server and devices to carry on her business.

NO BLAME THAT INCOMPETENT HILLARY AND STAFF AND MEDIA AND SUPPORTERS for allowing her to put OUR lives at RISK.

She was cavalier? NO SHE WAS INCOMPETENT.. She was the SECRETARY OF STATE.. NOT the secretary of a 7/11. PERIOD Now many want to elect her POTUS.. R U OUT OF YOUR FRIGGEN MINDS?

NEVER HILLARY.
