Trump Ties Hillary In Latest National Poll

And just like that, they are tied. In the latest poll from Rasmussen Reports, a national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump and Clinton tied at 38% each.

But 16% say they would vote for some other candidate if the presidential election comes down to those two, while six percent (6%) would stay home. Only two percent (2%) are undecided given those options.

This is a very different picture from the latest polls - pre-East Coast sweep...

Rasmussen adds Trump is more toxic within his own party than Clinton is in hers.

If Trump is the Republican nominee, 16% of GOP voters say they would choose a third-party candidate, while five percent (5%) would stay home. Sixty-six percent (66%) would vote for Trump, but 10% would vote for Clinton instead.

If Clinton is the Democratic nominee, 11% of Democrats would vote third-party, while three percent (3%) would stay home. Seventy-five percent (75%) would support the nominee, but 11% say they would vote for Trump.

Among voters not affiliated with either major party, nearly one-third say they would opt out: 21% would choose a candidate other than Trump or Clinton, and 10% would stay home. Trump leads Clinton 38% to 27% among unaffiliated voters.

Rasmussen concludes that nearly one-in-four voters say they will stay home or vote third party if Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the major party presidential candidates.

Despite speculation that Trump may have a problem with women voters, women and men are equally likely to say they would stay home or vote third party in the event of a Clinton-Trump race. Men prefer Trump by six points, while women give Clinton the edge by a similar margin.

Those under 40 are nearly twice as likely as older voters to say they would vote for some other candidate or stay home if Clinton and Trump are the major party nominees. Clinton leads among younger voters but loses to Trump among those 40 and over.

While Clinton has sizable leads over Trump among black and other minority voters, these voters are also more likely than whites to say they will stay home or vote for someone else. Trump leads among white voters.

This is good! Closing the gap. And as attention is off Bernie and the choice between Trump and Clinton, Trump will have the chance to reach out to minority voters, especially black Americans, who are distrustful now because of all the dishonest press, but when it's just between Trump and Clinton, they'll hopefully have a more accurate and honest presentation and with that they'll see that he is the only person in this election who can and will improve their economic situation with good jobs.

The notion that Trump only appeals to white men is just wrong. He appeals to everybody who takes the time to learn about him and listen to what he wants to do for our country.

STAY TRUE!! STAY TRUMP!!

You can't believe the polls!

Common sense says this is not true.

Bill Clinton fans are mostly all dead by now and the ones that still around remember all the corruption and scandals
that follow the Clinton's and there posse.

The new generation of today's voters are too young and not followers of Bill Clinton but at the
same time, old enough to know Hillary Clinton is a corrupt politician in the pockets of big donors
and leaders of foreign countries.
