Hillary Clinton comes out four points ahead of Donald Trump among Pennsylvania voters in the latest poll from Monmouth University, conducted after the FBI announced further investigation into her emails.

Clinton leads the poll, 48-44, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following at 3 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 1 percent.

Her lead has dropped from Monmouth’s previous Pennsylvania poll released in early October, where she led by 10 points, 50-40.

The Monmouth University poll surveyed 403 likely Pennsylvania voters via live telephone interview from Oct. 29-Nov. 1, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the presidential election in Pennsylvania shows Clinton leading Trump, 47.7 to 43.

    Clinton comes out ahead of Donald Trump among independents by four points, 39-35, in a head-to-head poll of the crucial voter demographic.
    In a four-way ballot, Clinton still leads, 30-27, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following closely at 19 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 8 percent.

    The former Secretary of State’s lead with independent voters grew since Bloomberg last released a nationwide poll, conducted before the final presidential debate and FBI Director James Comey announced the agency would review a new batch of emails.

  3. Both. And here is where our mettle gets tested. Any Dem who is not out there working all-out to prevent a Trump presidency deserves everything they’re going to get, and it won’t be fun and games.

  4. Trump apparently mistook a Honey Badger for a cat…

    … because he’s running around, shaking his hand, and crying, “That pussy’s got teeth!”
