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.

Most citizens around the world believe Hillary Clinton will win the upcoming U.S. presidential election, though Donald Trump is seen as the favorite by the people of a few countries. Clinton leads by very large margins in Latin American countries, while Eastern Europe shows higher support for Trump.

With less than a week to go, the general election matchup has remained stable – despite last Friday’s final October surprise. Clinton and Trump have both seen their favorability ratings improve as partisans are coming home for the big day while undecided voters continue to decline as a share of the electorate.

Even before Anthony Weiner reappeared, the national race was reverting back to its normal balance with Hillary Clinton holding leads in a smaller – though still sufficient to win -- list of states.

Two weeks out from Election Day and it looks like the race for the White House is all but over. However, if it looks like pollsters are increasingly on the wrong side of history (Colombia’s referendum, Brexit, the 2015 British election and the Scottish referendum) it could be because they need to triple and quadruple check their assumptions before making blithe pronouncements. This is that type of thought exercise.

With less than two weeks to go until election day, the battle for the White House is essentially unchanged with Hillary Clinton leading among likely voters in the mid-single digits. Donald Trump’s high unfavorability ratings make it hard to see his path to victory with the little time remaining.

Hillary Clinton is moving into an increasingly strong position in the electoral college with the Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation poll showing her up in states equal to 322 electoral college votes.

US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is still faring better than her rival in the eyes of the British public, new findings from Ipsos’s Political Monitor show.

Ipsos presented at the Embassy of the United States of America, in Paris, the climate of opinion before the presidential elections in France and in the US.
