    Poll: Clinton’s lead over Trump slipping since Orlando

    Poll: Clinton’s lead over Trump slipping since Orlando

    Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump with voters nationwide is eroding after Sunday’s mass shooting, according to a new poll.

    Clinton’s edge over Trump has dropped 3.6 points since the massacre in Orlando, according to the Reuters survey out Friday.

    Friday’s results found that 10.7 points separate Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, from Trump, her GOP counterpart.

    Reuters said Clinton boasted a 14.3-point gap last Sunday, the day of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

    Pollsters found 45.5 percent of voters now support Clinton, while 34.8 percent back Trump and 19.7 percent pick neither.

    Clinton last Sunday registered 46.6 percent before the bloodshed at Pulse nightclub, versus Trump’s 32.3 percent.

    Reuters also reported rising enthusiasm for Trump’s temporary ban on Muslim emigration into the U.S. since June started.

    Forty-five percent back that measure after last weekend’s attack, versus 41.9 percent who supported it at the start of the month.

    Reuters added that 70 percent of Americans now crave at least moderate gun control regulations, up from 60 percent in similar surveys between 2013 and 2014.
    Reuters conducted its latest sampling of 1,133 likely voters via online interviews from June 13-17. It has a 3.4-percentage-point margin of error.

    Clinton leads Trump by nearly 6 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.

    Forty-nine people were killed and 53 others were wounded when a gunman opened fire last Sunday at a gay nightspot.

    Shooter Omar Mateen, 29, reportedly praised the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria during the rampage. He was killed amid a battle with responding police.

    Last weekend’s carnage has provided new steam for Trump’s vow to temporarily halt Muslims from reaching U.S. soil.

    Clinton, in contrast, has argued American cannot discriminate against a single faith and has called for stricter gun control instead.

    There are many faiths within the Muslim world, even within the Muslim religion, or so they claim. Not all Muslims believe the same things. So you're an idiot, Hillary, in addition to being a Jihadist's Crook.

    I must have missed something, it seems like not too long ago Trump vs. Clinton was close. When did Trump drop so many points?

    A couple of weeks ago when he was leading Clinton in a couple of polls, and the media decided to blitz him with attacks and also fix the poll results by fixing who they polled. It's the media behind it. Trump's back out on the trail so his numbers will start surging upward soon so much they won't be able to fix it.

    During our 5:00 local news, they frequently run negative Trumps ads. The last one was of Trump mocking a disabled person. Trump has so many forces against him. We need to see some positive ads from Trump or ones that expose Hillary. I haven't seen any negative ads regarding Hillary. I for one, cannot stand her.

    I've seen the one of him supposedly mocking the disabled person, he was mocking the "groveling", not the disability. I saw Trump do the same thing about someone else for "groveling", almost identical movements, about 3 to 4 weeks ago. It's a shame the press made so much of that because he told them he wasn't mocking the man's disability, he was mocking the groveling.

    The press knows Trump well enough to know he would never mock a disabled person. They know their reports are lies, and Hillary knows that, too, so it just goes to show how dishonest they are and how low they'll stoop to exploit groups of people, even the disabled, to try to win an election for the Democrats.

    I don't think Trump wants to spend money yet on ads. He will, but he thinks when the market is flooded with ads against him, then that takes the power out of his ads and is just a waste of money. He's probably right. People get sick of the negative ads.

    People need to watch his rallies on live stream. They're the best ad for Trump.

    Oh yeah, I can't stand her either.
