Trump Leads Clinton In Latest Reuters Poll: We’re Gonna Need Another “Tweak”

Tyler Durden's picture

It appears another “oh shit” moment looms for the Clinton campaign. Having ‘tweaked’ their polling in July (to remove the slient majority), helping to push Hillary Clinton to a reportedly insurmountable lead Reuters/Ipsos latest poll shows Donald Trump has now taken the lead nationally, after having been 12 points behind on August 22nd.

Trump’s rise in popularity began when he started reaching out to the black and hispanic communities and Hillary’s slide began as more and more disturbing facts were exposed of Hillary’s time as Secretary of State.

Are the American people finally seeing through it all? This last week saw the biggest plunge in Black Americans’ comfort in over 15 years in the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort index.

 

And this happened while White American’s comfort barely budged:

 

Recall that the last time Reuters/Ipsos showed Trump in the lead at the end of July, the polling methodology was promptly “tweaked“…

… promptly sending Trump right back into second place. It appears Reuters’ poll may be due for another “tweak.”

We don’t know who will turn out to vote. The one thing I do know is that “other” ain’t going to get 10% of the vote. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein got a combined 1.35% of the vote in 2012. They’ll be lucky to crack 2% this time. The Mormon guy won’t even matter in Utah.

Iska- Admin put up current numbers a couple weeks ago that showed Johnson and Stein with 13 or 14% of the vote, maybe he will repost.

14% of the vote for 3rd and 4th party candidates can tip it to the devil spawn Clinton. How do you remain so uninformed? Fox News watcher?

The voters will matter as much as they did in the Clinton versus Sanders race…..

They’ll hire the Sandy Hook actors to walk around in circles at the polls.
