2016 US Elections - Hillary Clinton Continues To Lead Donald Trump (November 4&5)
Starting the last pre-election weekend, this election is closing as undecided and third party voters come home to the major candidates, more to Trump’s benefit than Clinton’s.
Counting down the days, the national picture remains pretty stable despite a bit of noise. Hillary Clinton is going into this final weekend with much the same lead our poll has observed all year long, and while we’ve seen slight tightening in the last few days, she remains on the inside track.
