CBS Poll: Donald Trump Has Closed the Gap on Hillary Clinton, Race Tied in 3-Way Match Up

HILLARY CLINTON’S POLL LEAD IS COLLAPSING TOO …

With the first debate less than two weeks away, and in the wake of Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” comment and her collapsing on Sunday, according to the most recent CBS poll, the race is a tie. This is a dead even race at this point.  In a two-way race Clinton has a two point lead; however, this is not a two person race, there are four candidates and they are all getting support. It is obvious that Trump has the momentum on the campaign trail and in the polls as Hillary Clinton sees her poll numbers and herself collapsing.

With the first debate less than two weeks away, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a tight race for the presidency nationally. Clinton has just a 2-point edge in a two-way match-up among likely voters. The race is tied when third party candidates are included. Among the broader electorate of registered voters, Clinton leads Trump by five points.

One disadvantage for Clinton is diminished voter enthusiasm. Democrats are less enthusiastic about voting now than they were in August.

More than four in 10 voters think each presidential candidate should release more of their medical records.  This poll was conducted before either candidate’s recent release of medical information.

With Election Day just under eight weeks away, the race for President nationwide is tight. In a two-way match-up, Clinton has a slim edge over Trump, 46 – 44 percent among likely voters who support or lean toward a candidate.

Daily Commentary – Thursday, September 15, 2016 – So Donald Trump Is Releasing Some of His Medical Records on the Dr. Oz Show

• I don’t think anyone is surprised by this. The show that will air Friday the 16th, was recorded on Wednesday. It is safe to say that Trump has the stamina to be president and his medical health is fine, unlike Illary Clinton.

Colby College-Boston Globe poll: Clinton Barely Ahead of Donald Trump in Maine, 42% to 39%

COULD MAINE REALLY BE IN PLAY FOR THE 2016 ELECTION?

According to a recent Colby College-Boston Globe poll released Tuesday, the presidential race in Maine is now within the margin of error, with Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump, 42 percent to 39 percent. If this continues and states that were supposed to be a given and a safe state for Democrat Hillary Clinton, one has to wonder what other “blue” states could flip this time around. Make no mistake about it, this is a different kind of election and the old rules and state voting trends may not apply.

Of all the states once seen as clearly in Hillary Clinton’s column, a new survey identifies the one perhaps most likely to tip to Donald Trump — and that state is Maine.

A Colby College-Boston Globe poll released Tuesday shows the presidential race in Maine is now within the margin of error, with Clinton leading Trump, 42 percent to 39 percent.

Also significant: The poll of likely voters, conducted last week by SurveyUSA, showed only a small portion of respondents, 5 percent, remain undecided less than eight weeks before Election Day.

Trump’s ascendancy in Maine is largely due to his dominance in the vast northern sector of the state — but analysts say it’s also a reflection of how Maine, like many other parts of the country, has become geographically more polarized. Its northern reaches, mostly rural, tend to be far more conservative than the southern, populous part of the state.

“Mainers for the first time in a while have to pay attention to the statewide race for president,” said Dan Shea, a political science professor and director of the Goldfarb Center at Colby College. “The Clinton campaign can no longer take this state for granted.”

Bloomberg Poll: Donals Trump Has 5-Point Lead Over Hillary Clinton in Battleground State of Ohio

WOW, new Bloomberg poll has Trump ahead of Hillary by 5 in Ohio …

According to the most recent Bloomberg Politics poll, Donald trump has a 5 percentage point lead over Hillary Clinton in the battle ground state of Ohio. Trump, the Republican nominee leads Clinton 48% to 43% among likely voters in a two-way contest and 44% to 39% when third-party candidates are included. The Washington Times reports, the GOP presidential nominee led his Democratic rival, Mrs. Clinton, by 43 points among white men without a college degree, by 27 points among white men overall and by 23 points among white women without a college degree.Trump must win Ohio, otherwise its over.

Post Labor Day polls are the ones to watch as the American people begin to take the elections more seriously. Also, trending is important as well as this poll was taken Friday through Monday, as Hillary Clinton faced backlash for ignorantly saying half of Trump supporters were a “basket of deplorables” and following Clinton’s collapse at a 9-11 Memorial event on Sunday, giving further rise to the speculation of her health.

Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 5 percentage points in a Bloomberg Politics poll of Ohio, a gap that underscores the Democrat’s challenges in critical Rust Belt states after one of the roughest stretches of her campaign.

The Republican nominee leads Clinton 48 percent to 43 percent among likely voters in a two-way contest and 44 percent to 39 percent when third-party candidates are included.

The poll was taken Friday through Monday, as Clinton faced backlash for saying half of Trump supporters were a “basket of deplorables” and amid renewed concerns about her health after a video showed her stumbling as she left a Sept. 11 ceremony with what her campaign later said was a bout of pneumonia.

Trump’s performance in the poll—including strength among men, independents, and union households—is better than in other recent surveys of the state. It deals a blow to Clinton after she enjoyed polling advantages nationally and in most battleground states in August before the race tightened in September as more Republican voters unified around Trump.

In the battleground state of Ohio it will be interesting to see how the next set of polls come out and their trends toward which candidate.

Conservative Radio Host Mark Levin: “I’m Voting For Donald Trump”

 CONSERVATIVE RADIO HOST MARK LEVIN SAYS HE’S VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP …

Conservative Radio Host Mark Levin, who has been very critical of Donald Trump and who supported and endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the GOP primaries said yesterday on his radio show that he is “voting for Donald Trump.” In the end, what could he really do? The never-Trumpers would put Hillary in the White House and Levin could hardly want that inflicted upon the United States.  As being a person who supported Ted Cruz myself, one has to look at the lesser of two evils and there is only one true candidate in this presidential election that I think is harmful to America. Personally, Hillary Clinton should be in leg-irons for the records and espionage act crime she has committed. Like Mark Levin, Donald Trump was not my first choice; however, Hillary Clinton is no choice.

Maybe this olive branch from Levin will get the conservatives on board to defeat Hillary.

Real Clear Politics:

MARK LEVIN: I think this is a binary election — at least for the country — that either Trump or Clinton will be president of the United States. I happen to think despite the CNN poll and so forth there is a lot of work to do to make up ground, particularly in battleground states. But Hillary is so awful I just don’t know. I’m not in the prediction business so it doesn’t matter.

So I’m going to vote for Donald Trump. I’m going to wind up voting for Donald Trump on election day. I take no responsibility for the dumb things he says or the dumb things his surrogates say. Just as I took no responsibility for the dumb things any candidate I vote for says whether it’s Congress, Senate, Supervisor, states attorney, other presidential candidates. I don’t control any of these people. I don’t run their campaigns and I don’t advise them. (The Mark Levin Show, September 6, 2016)
