New Wall Street Journal / NBC News poll .Hillary +7 http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/poll-clinton-leads-trump-ahead-first-debate-n652141 Politics Sep 21 2016, 4:59 pm ET Poll: Clinton Leads Trump Ahead of First Debate by Mark Murray Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leads Republican Donald Trump by six points among likely voters heading into the first presidential debate on Monday, according to a brand-new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. The survey - which was conducted after Clinton's return to the campaign trail following her bout with pneumonia - shows a bigger advantage for the secretary of state than did polls taken during the heightened scrutiny of her health. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leads Republican Donald Trump by six points among likely voters heading into the first presidential debate on Monday, according to a brand-new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. The survey - which was conducted after Clinton's return to the campaign trail following her bout with pneumonia - shows a bigger advantage for the secretary of state than did polls taken during the heightened scrutiny of her health. It also finds that Clinton is running nearly even with Trump when it comes to voter enthusiasm. "Despite arguably the worst few weeks of her candidacy, the fundamentals still point toward a Hillary Clinton victory," says Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies. McInturff adds, "Donald Trump has closed the margin since August, but as we head towards the debate, still needs to push this campaign closer. The good news for him is the electorate narrowly agrees with him that America has lost ground and wants to see a change in direction." In a four-way horserace, Clinton gets support from 43 percent of likely voters and Trump gets 37 percent, while Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson is at 9 percent and the Green Party's Jill Stein is at 3 percent. In a head-to-head matchup without those third-party candidates, Clinton's advantage expands to seven points, 48 percent to 41 percent. This is the NBC/WSJ poll's first general-election poll of likely voters in the 2016 race. Among the broader electorate of all registered voters, Clinton is ahead of Trump by five points in the four-way contest, 42 percent to 37 percent - down from Clinton's nine-point lead in August. And in a two-way race, Clinton's edge among registered voters is seven points, 48 percent to 41 percent - also down from nine points in August. Here, Clinton has the advantage with African American voters (81 percent to 7 percent), women (51 percent to 37 percent) and those ages 18-34 (50 percent to 34 percent), while Trump is ahead among men (46 percent to 44 percent) and whites (49 percent to 41 percent). But the poll reveals a familiar pattern among white registered voters: Those without a college degree break for Trump, 53 percent to 35 percent, while those with college degrees tilt in Clinton's favor, 49 percent to 43 percent.
the NBC Poll was D 45 R 37 so they used a plus 8 template. but it looked distorted in other ways We saw yesterday the economist yougov template is skewed and in Rasmuessen has trump up 5 and the LA times poll has his up a few points as well.
I gave you the facts yesterday and specifically stated I was looking at the 4 way pools. So instead of acting like you are correcting me. Say ... something like well today we have new picture because we have new slanted poll from NBC or that you choose to look at 2 ways polls.
In your 2012 thread you used Rasmussen and Gallup to make your case for Romney (the jem honest polls).Of course Rasmussen and Gallup were the worst RCP polls in the 2012 election having Romney ahead more than any other polls.Is Rasmussen and LA times your jem honest polls for 2016? After 2012 you should have realized what a garbage polling organization Rasmussen is.LA times is going to take their place as 2016's worst with Rasmussen coming in second.
