Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump’s support among likely national voters has surged so much so that he’s nearly closed a 13-point gap with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday.
The poll showed that 40 percent of likely voters supported Trump and 41 percent supported Clinton. Of those surveyed, 19 percent said they were unsure as to who they’d support.
Clinton led Trump by nine points in last week’s iteration of the Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The online poll surveyed 1,289 people from May 6-10. The poll had a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.
Correction: The original version of this post included incorrect numbers from the previous week’s Ipsos/Reuters poll, based on information from Reuters. After consulting TPM’s Polltracker average and Ipsos’ press release for the May 5 survey, the post was revised to show Trump trailed Clinton by 9 points in that survey.
Everyone panic!!!
Or get involved and help people vote. Your choice.
This poll is a national poll, not taking our regional electoral voting into account? Sounds useful.
Here is the latest from the Irish Betting site Paddy Power. They paid off bets early in the last two elections. They will this time too, I reckon.
“Trump’s Manhood”? That’s a betting market? What does that mean? You can lay money on Trump’s cowardice?
I want in!
Keep whistling past that grave yard. Hillary needs to get off her throne and start running. She really needs to shake up her team. She really, really needs to be true to herself and her natural liberal inclinations.
I’m not sure that Hillary is all that liberally inclined. I always thought she was a moderate to conservative Democrat.
P.S.
But I agree that she needs to get off of her throne and start running. She still hasn’t articulated where SHE wants to take the country, as opposed to reacting to where the other guy wants to take the country. The entire debate on the Democratic side has been dominated by Bernie Sanders because Bernie actually knows and has said where he wants to take the country. Hillary seems to be running a campaign of “I’m the best one for the job”.
