Latest presidential poll: Donald Trump up by 1 point on Hillary Clinton

Last June, 44 percent of Republican voters said that Trump was the best option while another 44 percent disagreed.

Even further on the far right, former KKK grand wizard and former Congressman David Duke tweeted specific policy lines Trump spoke about, as did alt-right leader Jared Taylor.

Because the poll is conducted online and individuals self-select to participate, a margin of error can not be calculated. The margin-of-error for both samples – the registered voters and likely voters – is 3.4 percentage points.

Different polls have produced widely different results over the course of the campaign.

Most national polls have Clinton leading Trump and the other presidential candidates.

That 2-point gap is a huge drop from the 11-point advantage that Clinton has in the Real Clear Politics average of Virginia polls. Some of the more recent individual polls, however, have the race even tighter.

A Suffolk University/USA Today poll of voters likely to cast ballots in the November presidential election, put Clinton 7 points above Trump nationwide.

A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll published Thursday found fear of the other candidate winning – rather than excitement for Trump or Clinton – is a prime motivating factor for voters. Those numbers were scheduled to be updated later on Friday.

In a competitive district around Denver, Colorado, GOP Rep. Mike Coffman used a fundraising note to criticize Democratic opponent Morgan Carroll for saying Clinton needs a Congress “that has her back”.

Questions about Clinton’s honesty and trustworthiness have dogged her throughout the campaign and she can ill afford to have more voters view her in a negative way. By contrast, 58 percent of Latinos say Hillary Clinton has made the Democratic Party “more welcoming” to them. But they have voted overwhelmingly for Democratic presidential candidates starting in 1936, when Franklin D. Roosevelt got 71 percent of the black vote, and peaking at 96 percent for Barack Obama’s election as the first African-American president in 2008. However, almost double the number of respondents said Republicans were more to blame than Democrats, 30 percent to 14 percent. Supporters of Trump really dislike the feds, while voters who support Clinton think they’re great. Clinton begins September with more than $68 million in the bank for her campaign against rival Donald Trump.

She was ahead in the Northeast by 58 per cent to 34 per cent and in the West 52 per cent to 37 per cent, the polls said.

“The message is legitimate, but the messenger is completely illegitimate – that’s the irony”, said Van Jones, a political activist and commentator. “See you again in four years”, Burns tweeted.

The daily schedules drew attention last week after the AP reviewed the two years of schedules released so far, plus Clinton’s official calendars. Seven percent supported Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and two percent supported Jill Stein of the Green Party.
