It looks like Hillary Clinton recovered from her pneumonia and Donald Trump caught the sniffles just in time for the first debate. In our pre-debate polling, Clinton held a lead over Trump. We’ll know later today if that lead has changed with our post- debate release.
Hillary Clinton holds a small electoral college advantage going into tonight’s big fight, er, debate. However, her lead in several key states is slim and a rough performance tonight could open several paths to 270 for Donald Trump as many states remain tossups.
Donald Trump will not be tasting the rainbow anytime soon with his favorability numbers reaching one of their lowest points this year. Clinton, coming out of a rough patch, saw a small bump in favorability, but the race remains neck and neck. With the debates less than a week away, the American public will finally get to see the two candidates face off, which could certainly move the dial one way or the other
At the end of a rough two weeks for Hillary Clinton, the national picture is as close as we’ve seen it this cycle. Our latest States of the Nation poll with Reuters shows Clinton and Trump basically tied in the electoral college with several key battlegrounds – notably Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Florida – extremely close.
Hillary Clinton’s no-good-very-bad week just keeps going. The American public now view both Clinton and Donald Trump equally distastefully leading the national horse race to be tied and very high undecided levels less than two months out. If Clinton is unable to rebound and rehabilitate her image with voters, we are looking at a very close Election Day.
After two weeks with few self-inflicted losses, Donald Trump’s favorability rates have stabilised and he remains tied with Hillary Clinton in the national head-to head. Clinton, on the other hand, has seen her unfavorable ratings going up over the last few weeks, potentially as a consequence of the steady drip of negative stories.
It seems - at least for one week - Trump’s latest ‘pivot’ has helped him shore up support within the Republican Party and close the margin with Clinton” said Ipsos pollster Chris Jackson. “He’s gone from winning 73% of Republican likely voters last week to 78% this week matching the level of support Clinton receives among Democrats (79%).
“While Trump’s latest ‘pivot’ seems to have cooled some animosity towards the Republican, it has not yet translated to actual votes,” reported Ipsos pollster Chris Jackson. “Favorability tends to be a leading indicator so if Trump is able to string together several weeks of improved public sentiment, he might eke out a better standing in the polls.”
After a couple of tough weeks for Donald Trump, it seems that his sagging numbers have stabilized. Nevertheless, Trump’s camp is still going through tumultuous times with a campaign overhaul hoping to shift the current momentum of the race.
