Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by five points in a new nationwide poll of likely voters from Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald.
The poll, conducted days after the release of a video showing Trump’s offense comments about women, shows Clinton ahead by five points, 46-41, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 6 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent.
This new poll shows an improvement nationally for Clinton, who led by just two points when Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald conducted a national election poll in September.
In that previous survey, Clinton led 45-43, with Johnson at 6 percent and Stein at 2 percent.
The Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll was conducted Oct. 9-13 among 1,011 likely voters nationwide, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.
TPM’s PollTracker Average for the general election shows Clinton leading Trump, 44.7 to 42.
Every headline says that Clinton is maintaining or expanding her lead, but the poll tracker shows differently. I think that poll tracker needs to be adjusted.
Geez Louize, How many of these “Futbuck University - College” polls are there? Finding a needle in a haystack by adding more hay.
Came here to say the same thing. This morning, Clinton was up by more than five points in Poll Tracker. Three new polls come showing her expanding or staying way ahead, and now Poll Tracker has dropped her lead by three points. Weird. Meanwhile, every measure on 538 has her chances of winning increasing since this morning.
NY Times has it at 90%, and it’s so bad that most of the T in Trump is in the blue area of their bar.
