Hint of Momentum for Clinton, With Issues a Defining Factor (POLL)

Source: ABC News

A hint of momentum for Hillary Clinton has produced a 3-point race in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll results, with wide leads for the Democrat in trust to handle the economy and health care among likely voters focused on those two issues.

Donald Trump pushes back with a clear lead on dealing with corruption in government and immigration among those who cite either of these as their top issue. The candidates are evenly matched on another key concern, trust to handle terrorism and national security.

The poll finds a 47-44 percent race between Clinton and Trump in a four-day average among likely voters, vs. Trump’s best result, 45-46 percent, three days ago. While the shift is not statistically significant, two of the last three nights -– moving away from news of the FBI’s renewed email investigation -– have been Clinton’s best since the early days of tracking.

and start do call banking to GTVO into swing states, or if you live in a swing state, then volunteer to do the same thing or better yet canvass in your state for Hillary

Everything else is just BS. These national tracking polls are meaningless at this stage. Getting the vote out in swing states is actually DOING something

It's also obvious they're massively over sampling GOP demos considering the absurd answers on the issues

not taking into account the Dem ground game quietly going on in the background urging Dems to early vote when they can. The hope will be for those of us in states without early voting, to make sure that we get to the polls somehow some way on November 8.

is terrifying. Both for this election and going forward. The Bizarro World in evidence during Bush 2 is nothing compared to this go-round.
