Mike Huckabee is warning disgruntled conservatives that snubbing Donald Trump and casting a third-party protest vote will assure a Hillary Clinton victory in November – a scenario he believes the Democratic presidential nominee is counting on.

According to poll results released Wednesday, Clinton is up just 5 percentage points over Trump, 42 to 37 percent, among Wisconsin registered voters.
Many of these millions of dollars came from some of the wealthiest and most powerful Democrats in the country, who met privately with Clinton in homes “from Greenwich, Conn., to Nantucket, Mass., to Beverly Hills, Calif.”, as The Washington Post documented at length. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson received 7 percent; Green Party nominee Jill Stein got 3 percent.
Those ratings are Clinton’s worst in the quarter century she has spent in public positions, though still ahead of Trump’s 35-63 split.
Interesting that Clinton leads comfortably overall even though Trump leads her among people who dislike both of them.
Real Clear Politics polling average – which includes the Rasmussen Reports’ poll – has Clinton up by nearly 4 percentage points. Fifteen percent of Democrats said they planned on voting for Trump; 12 percent of Republicans said they were backing Clinton. Right now he is polling as high as 11 percent.
Blacks continue to strongly support Clinton, while Trump leads by 10 among whites. In the four-way ballot test among “the haters” Johnson tops the field with 34 percent, followed by Trump (21 percent), Clinton (15 percent), and Stein (8 percent), while 20 percent were undecided.
Among all adults, 56 percent now have an unfavorable view of Clinton, an increase of 6 points in three weeks, compared to 63 percent who have the same view about Trump. The poll was conducted from August 22 to 28.
Seventy-year-old Trump is a real estate billionaire from NY and a realty television star who joined politics only about a year ago. Same old story: Trump is stuck at 40 percent, exactly the number he pulled in Monmouth and in line with his overall average of 39.6.
Trump managed to capitalize on America and Mexico’s mutual interests on the knotty immigration issue and to reinforce his commitment to secure our border and stop illegal immigration without alienating the Mexican president.

A new national poll from Suffolk University suggests that not much has changed in the race over the last week or so.
