I should also add that 2 months ago FOX News had Trump over Clinton by 3 points, then last month it was Clinton over Trump by 6 points and now it's Clinton over Trump by 10 points - that's a 13 point drop over the last few months - and this in a poll by FOX News.

The gist of the poll is that both candidates are dishonest (61% for each) but at least one of them is competent; the other is not.

Trump in the recent few days reminds of that bit from the film Patton when Omar Bradley is in discussion with George Patton. Something like this:

Bradley: George, you have performed brilliantly. You are loyal, dedicated — you're one of the best field commanders I've got — but you don't know when to shut up, George. You’re a pain in the neck.

Trump will lose this contest with Hilary ala Ross Perot if he is not careful. But he is impetuous it seems.

Could it possibly be that 42% of those questioned said they were Democrat and 36% of those questioned were Republican? Margin of error for Democrats +/-4.5 and Republicans +/-5 and oddly for the Independents who scored 18% they were +/-8 I have never seen such methodology on the margin of error. They have about 6 different categories that they show margin of error on, this seems strange since most polling has +/- 2 or maybe 3.

What is interesting is that they trust Trump more than Hillary on the economy. They tie on national security.
They trust Trump more on the federal deficit. Those are kind of the biggies!

It is a very confusing poll asking about 1,000 people by land line. Yep, maybe if just those 1,000 people vote, this evening, Hillary might, only might, win.

Exactly and with this, who needs a poll? Competency to serve as POTUS was shot to.......... Yes, this is so much more important than any poll and those that care about competency won't need a poll to tell them who the winning candidate should be. Trump is by far the most competent of the candidates!

Lol. Half of his own party doesn't want him.
And only 58% of Dems want Hillary.

I love seeing the tap dancing Trump bots are doing to explain away these foxnews poll results. Where's WK and the others? Don't get shy now.

This came after he bashed the CNN and CBS polls for bias.

This was taken after the Captain Kahn incident as well.

Trump does not have the right psychological demeanor to be president. Most Americans agree.
