Trump Still Leading in Rasmussen Poll by 2%

White House Watch: Still Neck-and-Neck

Monday, October 24, 2016

Donald Trump still has a slight edge in Rasmussen Reports’ latest White House Watch.

The new national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Trump with 43% support to Clinton’s 41%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets five percent (5%) of the vote, while Green Party nominee picks up three percent (3%). Another three percent (3%) like some other candidate, while five percent (5%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Today’s survey is unchanged from Friday but includes the second full night of surveying following the final presidential debate last week in Las Vegas. Rasmussen Reports is one of three national polls that still shows the race as competitive with two weeks to go; most others portray Clinton with a wide – and, in some cases, growing - lead.

In the latest survey, 88% of voters say they are now certain how they will vote, and among these voters, Trump holds a statistically insignificant 48% to 47% lead. Johnson has three percent (3%) support, Stein two percent (2%). Among the voters who still could change their minds between now and Election Day, Trump has the most to potentially lose: He’s ahead of Clinton 34% to 26% among these voters, with Johnson at 25% and Stein at 15%.

Rasmussen Reports updates its White House Watch survey daily Monday through Friday at 8:30 am Eastern based on a three-day rolling average of 1,500 Likely U.S. Voters.

The survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted on October 19-20 and 23, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

In today's IBD/TPP, Trump and Clinton are tied and in today's LA Times USC Poll, Clinton is 1% ahead.

Note: The LA Times USC Poll represents a combined result of being asked will you vote, who you will vote for and who do you think will win, so if you vote for Trump but think due to the CORRUPT MEDIA that he is losing, then your vote doesn't count as much as a vote for Clinton whose voter also said they think she will win, that's why you see some variation based on what the CORRUPT MEDIA reports in that cycle. And the phony ABC poll that came out with the 12% lead for Clinton this weekend would be discouraging to voters who didn't know that they had over-polled Democrats by 9%.

So even with all this, Trump is either leading, tied or within margin of error with these 3 polls and thus holding his own and ready to win on election day.

Driving between Tampa, Orlando and Cocoa Beach last week, I probably saw 10 pro-Trump signs/stickers to maybe, one Clinton yard sign. There appears to be more enthusiasm for Trump.
