In the same poll at the beginning of the year Hillary's unfavorable was 48%. Now it's 55%. Trump's was 62% in January, now it's 63%. imo, this trend will continue.

The favorable/unfavorable won't change Who people vote for, but turnout is another story. 'Trump is Worse. Hillary for Prez ' or 'She is NOT a Criminal. Hillary 2016 ' won't exactly energize the base.

Another Emerson poll for NC has him up 2%.

Another good polling day for Mr Trump.

Because we all know any MoE, regardless of size, will completely favor Trump. There's absolutely no chance the MoE can go the other direction.

The Trump Train has been sitting in the high 30s/low 40s since... forever. Any presidential candidate would be embarrassed if that was their floor, for Trump it looks increasingly like it's his ceiling. The Clinton Train moves forward and back as voters vacillate whether or not vote for her. Trump remains stagnant. How you can spin that as a positive is anyone's guess.

Yet the Clinton supporters cannot refer to Mr Trump by his name; either his given first name, or the courtesy salutation Mr and his last name. Someone they continually denigrate. Yet this are is not to far apart and getting closer.

I think I see the real story here. Mrs Clinton's persona has been absorbed by her supporters.
You are confusing the election polls with the favorable/unfavorable polls. Clinton is doing well in the election polls, but her favorability has dropped to that of Trump.

New Fox poll:

Clinton 41
Trump 39
Johnson 9
Stein 4

Her 10 point lead earlier this month is now a 2 point lead with Johnson and Stein included.

Time for the media to huddle up and come up with another fake outrage issue.

Correction: Her 10 point 2-way lead from earlier this month is now 6 points: Fox News Poll: Trump Narrows Clinton's Lead - Fox Nation

Another poll that shows Hillary's support slipping, while Trump remains relatively stagnant.

39% of the vote in a 4-way is horrible.

Trump basically needs third party candidates to help him look somewhat competitive - - they cut into HRC's numbers far more than his (she's at 48% in the 2-way poll). That's bad news for Trump as third party candidates almost always overpoll relative to their actual numbers on election day.

It is too little too late, however Clinton should dissolve the Clinton foundation and give all the money away. She can do so proactively to end any shadow of doubt it could be used to secure her access to hear special cases.

Reuters/ipsos has Clinton +1 in a two man race, and Clinton +2 in a four man race.
