Hillary Clinton led Republican Donald Trump by 6 percentage points among likely voters, according to a Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll released on Wednesday, the same advantage the Democratic presidential nominee held before an FBI announcement that reignited the controversy about her email practices.

The Oct. 28-Nov. 1 opinion poll was conducted almost entirely after FBI Director James Comey notified Congress last Friday his agency would examine newly discovered emails that might pertain to Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Among 1,772 people who have either voted already or were identified as likely voters in the Nov. 8 election, 45 percent said they supported Clinton, while 39 percent said they backed Trump. On Thursday, the day before Comey's announcement, Clinton led Trump by 43 percent to 37 percent.

In a four-way poll that included alternative party candidates, Clinton led Trump by 8 percentage points among likely voters. Forty-five percent supported Clinton, while 37 percent backed Trump. Five percent supported Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and 2 percent backed Jill Stein of the Green Party.

2. Jim Commie's little stunt might actually end up helping Hillary (much to his chagrin)

Who knows how many Democrats are Democratic-leaning voters will actually show up now that the media's narrative has switched to this being a "close" race.

Lawd works in mysterious ways.

3. Voters have already made up their minds

I don't think one person changed their mind about voting for Hillary because of the FBI crap, and I really don't buy into the BS about "undecided" voters going for Trump because of the FBI BS. Voters made up their minds, and now it's the media playing fast and lose with polls to make this another horse race, neck and neck coming into the home stretch. The trolls seem to be having a ball though post all kinds of crap polls and being so concerned about the doom of democrats here on DU. What they don't realize is all their trolling here is not doing to change anything either. I guess trolls just like trolling!

I plan to watch the last game of the World series, then some Netflix, and spend the time between now and nest Tuesday trying to avoid all the BS going on and try and get some rest and relaxation while I try and get rid of a cold a caught earlier this week.

5. I think she was looking at a 10 point win until Comey and Chaffetz pulled their stunt.

We might have even taken back the House.

4. Note that she's gaining

as much as he is, and that is good enough and means some voters see
the FBI's unfair tactics for what they are: empty

6. But but ---Trump is ahead in Virginia--I saw it on DU!!!

According to someone here--Trump is ahead and enthusiasm for Hillary is way down, so we shouldn't even bother voting.

True---but sarcasm also.
