***** BREAKING***** REUTERS NATIONAL POLL CLINTON 45% TRUMP 33%

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leads Republican rival Donald Trump by 12 percentage points among likely voters, her strongest showing this month, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday.

The Aug. 18-22 poll showed that 45 percent of voters supported Clinton, while 33 percent backed Trump ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state, has led Trump, a New York businessman, throughout most of the 2016 campaign. But her latest lead represents a stronger level of support than polls indicated over the past few weeks. Earlier in August, Clinton's lead over Trump ranged from 3 to 9 percentage points in the poll.

The poll also found that about 22 percent of likely voters would not pick either candidate. That lack of support is high compared with how people responded to the poll during the 2012 presidential election between Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney.

1. holy shellacking!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

2. Woo hoo!

It's time for some pro-Trump website to make a phony "bias correction" of about 15% now.

I'll be voting early to help ensure success in the actual election!

[NurseJackie]

3. Tired of Winning! HA!! :-P

[Silent3]

4. And that's even with "other", "refused", and "not voting" included.

A simple two-choice poll would probably have an even wider gap.

[workinclasszero]

5. WOOHOO!!

Bring it on Trump baggers!

Democrats are taking over this fall!!!!!!!!

8. What's that I smell in the air from Trump Tower?

Oh, yeah. That's right.

It's desperation. All the shit flinging is missing badly.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. But I heard all weekend long that "the polls are tightening". Of course it was only Trumpeteers...

that were repeating it ad nauseum, but that's what I heard.

[anneboleyn]

23. Unfortunately we had some DUers screaming this too based on one flawed poll.

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. It's all they've got right now. One outlier is proof of exactly NOTHING. n/t

[ecodeathmarch]

45. Yes, lots of DUers...

[Johnny2X2X]

[Cicada]

51. Less educated white males not too likely to vote

I saw a poll recently where 62% of white men without college degrees said they were certain to vote this time. For college educated women it was 90%.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. ...

[Fast Walker 52]

13. LOVE THAT MEME!

[Cryptoad]

15. Dumbfuckistan is shrinking,,,,

but we gotta win that Senate supermajority!

[ffr]

17. Was that because of her recent performance

over the past 40 years of public service.

Fooled ya!

GO HRC 2016!!! More motivation to keep driving the GOTV movement forward.

[Bill USA]

18. come on Assange and Putin, let's help out Donald with some more "hacked" emails!

[helpisontheway]

Labor day..let us hope the momentum continues!

[shireen]

21. i won't be happy until

the orange jerk is in the single digits!!!
(I was going to say orange toad, but realized that I like toads.)

[anneboleyn]

22. Fox won't even talk about the polls anymore. It is so obvious.

[EricMaundry]

25. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God. That asshole Trump could get all of us killed.

[MoonRiver]

26. I am officially Over the Moon!!

[Thinkingabout]

27. By the outlier poll Sessions used, Trump is ahead and gaining, don't know where this is true

but it thrills the FOX listeners.

[kstewart33]

36. I am sleeping much better these days.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

37. Trump's 33% might be an indication that...

... he's losing some support from his racist followers.

He toned down his racist rhetoric recently, as we know.

[Mozzonozzo]

40. That's exactly what I thought

Notice the 7 point drop among the self-identified “very conservative” on the day of his grand “pivot”

47. His immigration flip flop will be the end of this

These rabid racists are just going to stay home. Trump is just another candidate now that he doesn't want concentration camps for brown people.

[Lucky Luciano]

39. I'm almost disappointed it wasn't even a fair fight! Haha! nt

[mobeau69]

41. Booyah!

That's all.

[Chakab]

42. I don't get the smugness and the celebrations. Trump is a circus clown who's not even running a real

campaign, yet she hasn't cracked 50% nationally. Don't forget that her unfavorables are still sky high and she was tied or losing in most polls coming out of the convention before Trump jumped the shark.

She'd be losing handily if they'd nominated pretty much anybody else. Not optimistic for 2020.

[bettyellen]

46. She was not losing most polls nationally- why are you so unhappy it's a trouncing?

I think she is kicking ass like no other candidate could!

[helpisontheway]

43. Chris Matthews ignored this poll

He did show the VA and Missouri poll. He used the real clear politics average to discuss national polls.

[Johnny2X2X]

44. RCP?

Whe. Will they incorporate this poll?

[Johnny2X2X]

49. Upshot has her at 89% now

89% is the highest it's been. Labor Day is just around the corner. Nothing much will change for the next 3 weeks or more. Trump basically has 8 weeks, this is the home stretch. Bury this fool and sink his party.

America is ready to move forward together!

[LAS14]

50. How come today, Aug 24, RealClearPolitics' latest...

... report of a Reuters/Ipsos poll is from Aug 18????

tia
las

[Johnny2X2X]

52. RCP is Right Wing

They regularly leave polls out that look bad for Trump. With the Reuters poll they wait a few days for another one to come out if the LV model is really bad for Trump.
