The extent to which Johnson and Stein are cutting into Clinton’s lead is small but fairly consistent. In the 15 major national polls conducted since the first night of the Republican convention last month that included both the two-way and four-way ballot tests, Clinton has had a smaller lead over Trump in nine, and her lead has been unchanged in five of them. In only in one of the surveys has Clinton’s lead actually increased when Johnson and Stein are included.
I guess this latest Reuters poll makes two.

Awesome post eh...the third one today on Hillary's popularity being bad...well not quite as unpopular as the dumpsters, but what the heck, why let facts get in the way of your posts. Best of all, this one is linked to Alex Jones, a true miscreant if there ever was one.
Yeah that's what is never discussed. Trump isn't making any gains. Hillary is just losing her post convention bounce is all. The question is can that change? Neither of them seem to be able to really move their numbers much at all.
That's what the **********s either keep ignoring, or simply do not understand. Trump cannot break 40% of the vote. He's maxed out at 40% tops. Trump fans have convinced themselves that somehow all the undecided voters are going to flock to Trump at the last minute, when in fact that's extremely unlikely.
Undecided voters who make up their minds at the last minute tend to be the most cautious, prudent, deliberate voters. As you get down to the last weeks, days, and hours before people have to cast their ballots, the undecided voters look at the two candidates and ask themselves, which of these two people do i trust more to run the country? Voters who are by nature already very cautious are far less likely to choose someone as unstable as Trump when it comes down that moment of last-minute, serious reflection.
Face it, **********s. Your idol has been stuck in the mid-high 30s since the conventions. Hillary's numbers ebb and flow, but she remains solidly within the range she needs to win the race.

Is it helping you sleep better by thinking Trump somehow can't break 40%, thus he will lose?
Hillary fans are starting to crack. Now searching for every excuse they can find to explain Hillary's lead evaporating.
Trump nation rising up. Hooorahh.
BTW -
Gravis (Arizona)
Trump 44%
Hillary 40%
Trump might be starting to take AZ back off the table.
Only 4 on Gravis? Wow, I did not think it was that close here. Even if he did lead by that, just a little more turnout by Hispanics could flip the thing to Clinton. There is a very active voter registration effort going on to get AZ latinos to register and vote. Who knows? Could McCain go too?
No confusion. At all. Favorables and unfavorables play a role. Why else would campaigns spend gazillions on negative character advertising? Why go back to Mitt Romney's boarding school boy days in the 2012 race, for instance? In June or July of that election year if I remember correctly.
Not saying a big role, but the folks that run campaigns spend enough, so they must think it is important.
