In the previous four-candidate matchup August 25-28, Clinton received 41 percent among likely voters, with Trump at 38 percent, Johnson at 10 and Stein at 4, while another 7 percent did not pick a candidate. Among registered voters in the previous poll, Clinton received 37 percent, Trump 32, Johnson 11 and Stein 7, with 13 percent expressing no preference. Three percent remained undecided. Hillary Clinton’s numbers change depending on the media coverage that she is getting in a given week, but Trump is stuck at between 37% and 41%.
In North Carolina, Trump leads by 45 percent to 40 percent for Clinton with 6 percent for Johnson. The margin of error of the poll is 3.2 percent. In six of those nine polls, her lead was 9 percentage points or more.
The poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters from September 16 to 19 and has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
Monmouth also polled voters on Trump’s recent admission that President Barack Obama was born in the United States, after the candidate pushed a false conspiracy theory stating otherwise for roughly five years.
Eighty percent of voters said the development had no effect of their vote.
In a four-way race that includes Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Clinton tops the field with 43 support. Trump maintained higher levels of backing from the demographic, garnering 46 percent support to Clinton’s 44 percent, but the difference is much narrower than in earlier polls.
“Hillary Clinton is taking the day off again, she needs the rest”.
However, on the question of who has the right temperament to be president, Clinton leads Trump 56 to twenty-three.

“We the People demand that Congress withhold President Obama’s salary, pension, travel expenses, etc. for any time he spends actively campaigning for Hillary Clinton between now and the election in November”, the petition on conservative petition site StandUnited says.
