Breaking: Clinton leads by 8 points nationally-Reuters

Yaba daba doo as democratsincebirth would say!

Hillary Clinton is up 8 points on Donald Trump nationally, according to a new poll released Friday.

Clinton has 42 percent support in the Reuters/Ipsos poll, with Trump at 34 percent. Another 23 percent wouldn't pick either candidate.

Clinton's lead over Trump slimmed slightly in a four-way match-up that included Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein. In that scenario, the poll found Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, at 41 percent and Trump, her GOP counterpart, at 34 percent. Johnson received 7 percent and Stein 2 percent.

The surveys of 1,118 and 1,119 likely voters, respectively, were conducted Aug. 14-18 online and each have a credibility interval of 3 percentage points.
Clinton has led in the survey the past several weeks, with her support ranging between 41 and 44 percent while Trump's has ranged between 33 and 39 percent.

Trump has sought to regain his footing in the race this week, delivering several carefully scripted speeches and overseeing a shake-up of his top campaign lieutenants.

1. Nice

The right leaning polls have been coming out and showing a tighter race than the standard polls have shown. Reuters is a strange poll to read as their site shows different ways to view the poll.

The state polls that have been coming out by the dozens show the race is becoming a blowout. When the more mainstream national polls are next released I'd be surprised if they don't show 8-13 points for the Clinton lead.

3. Yup

The last 4 or 5 polls to release results are all right leaning polls and they still showed little to no gains for Trumpsky. The next 4-5 polls that come out should be the big polls that are the most respected.

Trumps few days of better looking national poll news in over, the next week should be brutal for him and the story will again be how his campaign has imploded.
