Trump slips by Clinton in a virtual dead heat in new poll

[insta8er]

Donald Trump holds a razor-thin lead over Hillary Clinton in a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Sunday.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee leads by just 2 points, 46 percent to 44 percent, over the Democratic front-runner among registered voters — essentially a dead heat, well within the poll’s 3.5 percentage-point margin of error.

The poll indicates a race in which Clinton once held a commanding lead is shaping up to be extremely close. Clinton led Trump 50 percent to 41 percent in a March Post/ABC poll.

The new poll also tested a race in which 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney jumps in. In that matchup, Clinton captured 37 percent of those surveyed, with Trump 35 percent and Romney at 22 percent.

Both Trump and Clinton are hampered by staggering unfavorable ratings — viewed unfavorably by 57 percent of those surveyed.

The poll of 829 registered voters was conducted May 16-19.

1. This is like the 10th thread today that's tooting Trump's poll numbers.

Can't you just combine them into one : WE CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT THAT OUR CANDIDATE LOST THE NOMINATION thread ?

2. I think

I think the biggest thing that stands out to me in this poll is that Clintons lead over Trump with women is now SMALLER than Trumps lead with men.

3. The last one that came out similar to this

was a Fox poll.

It was poo-pooed and laughed at because it WAS a Fox poll.

I wonder what will be done to attempt to discredit THIS one? And then the next?

It'll be time for 'Unskewed Polls' to make a come back.

5. Yes

This is neither a Fox or Rassmussen poll.
